I'm trying to get CAP6.0 running on a sparc-2 with sunos 4.1.1. We have a large appletalk with > 150 zones and a dozen or two cisco routers. We have mainly FastPath 4s running K-Star 8.1.1 (beta). Q: does CAP support K-Star and KIP or just KIP? I built 6.0 with the three official patches using the default IPtalk config. After configuring, making includes, libs, and programs I tried atlook with no success to talk to an fp4 on the same ether as me. Here's the output: % ./atlook -dldapisn abInit: [ddp: 0.13, 18] starting debugging LAP debugging DDP debugging ATP debugging PAP debugging INI debugging ASP debugging NBP Looking for =:=@* ... NBP SndNBP: sending port for at-nbp is 202 NBP nbp_timeout: 3 tick timeout on -134219424, 3 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 3 tick timeout on -134219424, 2 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 3 tick timeout on -134219424, 1 remain NBP SndNBP: sending NBP nbp_timeout: 3 tick timeout on -134219424, 0 remain My atalk.local looks like: 13 18 K-Building 13 235 129.83.9.235 Q: The appletalk zone behind the fastpath (with the lw that I want to get to) is "G033 2K100 Wing" and it is net number 11. The K-Building ethernet is net number 13. I assumed that since I was on the ether, I should use net 13. Correct? Q: what prevents anyone else from dynamically allocating node number 18? Q: does atis have to run just to use atlook? doc/install.ms says no. CAP(8) says yes. which is correct? I then tried using the ethertalk version. After building it, I deleted atalk.local (didn't want any wrong defaults) and ran aarpd and low and behold it gave me this etalk.local: # # EtherTalk dynamic configuration data # # Last update: Tue Mar 26 19:20:34 1991 # # Generated by native EtherTalk (Phase 1) # interface "le0" thisNet 0.13 thisNode 4 thisZone "K-Building" bridgeNet 0.13 bridgeNode 128 bridgeIP 0.0.0.0 nisNet 0.13 nisNode 4 asyncNet 0.00 asyncZone "" After running atis, atlook now works, and I discover that node 128 is our cisco router. And yes! I can get to my printer. Q: should I punch in the IP address for the router in this file or does it matter? General comments: I'd like to use IPtalk and run CAP on other platforms. What was I doing wrong ? I think the install procedure is well crafted, but how about making it easier to specify install destinations? editing m4.setup after each Configure is cumbersome. The install.ms file could be embellished a bit to include more info about setting up atalk.local. any help would be greatly appreciated, ted |Ted Ede -- ted@mbunix.mitre.org -- The MITRE Corporation -- Burlington Road| | linus!mbunix!ted -- Bedford MA, 01730 -- Mail Stop K224 -- (617) 271-7867 | | - this line intentionally left blank - | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
