[comp.protocols.appletalk] Phase 1 & 2 on FastPath w/ atalkad

mlwiese@eagle.mit.edu (Mike Wiese) (07/31/90)

Read Bob Morgan's posting last week that appletalk phase 1 & 2 can 
coexist, but I need more details.

I have a FastPath 4 running KSTAR 8.0. If I use the following 
configuration in atalkad, does the field I have labelled "ETatnet" become 
phase 1 or phase 2, or does the config I enter with FastPath Manager take 
precedence somehow? If so, what should I enter? Or should I uncomment the first "E" line for this FastPath?

7000    H       18.70.2.33      IPT-70
#7001    E       18.70.2.33      18.70-zone   #phase 1
7002    E       18.70.2.33      StudentCenter #EtherTalk phase 2
7012    K       18.70.2.33      MCC           #mcc-kbox
        I18.70.0.0      I18.70.0.160          #ipbroad ipname
        L0              L0                    #ipdebug ipfile
        L0 L0 L0 L0     %n S0                 #ipother ETatnet portstart
        LX0             S0      S31           #flags ipstatic ipdynamic
        %n   %n                               #LTatnet IPTatnet zonea

I want the FastPaths to be able to operate in the event the atalkad server goes down, and only lose the AppleTalk connectivity across IP subnets. Exactly how much configuration should I enter with FastPath manager? 

If I have several FastPaths on the same ethernet, should I have "E" and "H" lines with the same appletalk # and zone name pointing to each FastPath, or should I only enter one "E" and "H" for each ethernet?

Finally, what happens if I send a phase 2 packet to an old FastPath that only knows phase 1? I seem to have this working by having an Apple Internet Router running the upgrade utility on the same ethernet as the old FastPath.
