I have installed CAP - everything seemed to go OK, and atalkad - again, everything looks OK. I put a couple of things in weird places, but everything seems to find everything else. We are running AppleTalk 1.0, with no immediate need to migrate to AppleTalk 2.0. We have a large MAC-bridged, Ethernet-compliant network operating throughout campus. It's not an Ethernet, but the hosts et. al. can't determine that. I have two "problems": Problem 1: ---------- I want my KFPS4 to "backfeed" unencapsulated AppleTalk to it's Ethernet port, essentially functioning as an AppleTalk-in-IP to Appletalk gateway, for this brief test. Can it do that? I set up atalkatab for that capability - is there anything else I need to set up (KFPS4 options)? I minimally configure the KFPS4 from my Mac, and it seems to get configuration data from atalkad correctly - it says so, anyway. Problem 2: ---------- Next problem is that I start atis(8) - sems to start ok, but atistest(?) fails to register a name. Oh well, I think, I can probably ignore that, and I fire up Aufs(1) - guess what? Aufs(1) also cannot register a name. Guess I have a problem with atis(8). I crank up the debugging level on atis(8): it can see my attempts to run atistest(?) and Aufs(1), but I get -------------------------------------------------------------------- atis: Sat Apr 7 15:45:10 1990 DEBUG LEVEL 7 atis: Sat Apr 7 15:45:37 1990 Got nbp 1 lkup from net 20.1, node 135, skt 2 atis: Sat Apr 7 15:45:37 1990 Looking for entities to answer a lookup with atis test:testing@CDCNATiIP atis: Sat Apr 7 15:45:37 1990 look: start index 0 beyond range of table -------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there anybody out there who has a similar situation and has figured out the arcane nature of these problems? Have I failed to read something important? Thanks for your help. For complete reference, I have appended my (very simple) atalk.local(5) and atalkatab(5) ----------------------------------------------------------------- # atalk.local(5) 20.1 45 CDCNATiIP 20.1 135 129.24.8.135 ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Appletalk administration database table (atalkatab), # read by appletalk admin daemon (atalkad). # # Appletalk number assignment algorithm: # 0.X Ethernet cables, AppleTalk protocol ("EtherTalk") # 10.X PhoneNet cables, AppleTalk protocol ("LocalTalk") # 20.X Ethernet cables, AppleTalk-in-IP protocol ("ATiIP") # 20.1 N1 129.24.15.0 CDCNATiIP # # LocalTalk networks, connected w/ Kinetics' KFPS4, defined below: # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Services # - connectivity for the zone TEST # - core gateway services # - backfeed to the EtherTalk zone CDCN # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0.1 E 129.24.8.135 CDCN #CDCN EtherTalk backfeed 10.1 KC 129.24.8.135 TEST #TEST LocalTalk I129.24.15.255 I129.24.8.1 #broadcast, name_server L0 L0 L0 L0 L0 L0 #ddt_server, file_server, other(4) S0.1 #AppleTalk number: EtherTalk port S0 LX0 #DDP_range, flags S1 S1 #IP addresses: 1 static, 1 dynamic S10.1 #AppleTalk number: LocalTalk port S20.1 #AppleTalk number: ATiIP port ----------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at this, I guess there is one other piece of knowledge required: we subnet our class B network address with the subnet mask 'fffff800', providing very few subnets of 2046 hosts each.
