I am still having problems understanding the format of the atalkatab file. Each appletalk network is a separate subnet, apple net and zone. Netmask 255.255.252.0 used everywhere. Ethernet IP Subnet AppleNet Zone 3.1.4.0 KIP net: 0.1 KW-KIP Ethertalk Net 0.128 KW-ETHER Apple networks IP Subnet Gateway on Ethernet AppleNet Zone 3.1.56.0 3.1.5.84 0.78 TEST-ZONE 3.1.28.0 3.1.4.163 0.71 CSLBridge Plus we have a dozen other similar TOPS-based networks that I am not worrying about yet. I am setting up the first KIP server in a TOPS environment and I currently have this in my atalkatab file: 0.1 N1 3.1.4.0 KW-KIP 0.128 E 3.1.5.84 KW-ETHER 0.78 KC 3.1.5.84 TEST-ZONE I3.1.4.0 #ipbroad I3.1.4.31 #ipname - name server on ethernet I3.1.4.53 #ipdebug I3.1.4.53 #ipfile - machine running atalkad and rebroadcast L0 L0 L0 L0 #ipother %n #atnetet S200 #ddprangestart - using new UDP flags LX0 #flags S10 #ipstatic S10 #ipdynamic %n #atneta %n #atnete --------------- This doesn't look right to me, and I can't get atlook to find anything. atistest also fails. I am running atalkrd, atalkad and atis, in that order. atistest can't find atis. atlook '+;+@=' doesn't find anything. My questions are: 1) Shouldn't I have the IP Subnet in the file? telnet works fine across the FP4. But I don't understand what I should do with the other networks? Do I just add the routes on the machine running atalkad? 2) How do I add the other appletalk networks to this file? Do I just need the 'E' and 'K' lines? 3) I can use LanRanger to find other zones and apple nets, But how do I find the node number on each net? 4) The other bridges are Cayman and FP3's Do I have to add then into the bridge file using Lan Ranger? 5) If I have data in the FP4 config file, and data in atalkatab file, and they are different, which data is used, and when? 6) Besides atlook, atpinger, atistest, and lanranger, is there some other tools available to help debug this stuff? Thanks again for the help, gang. -- Bruce G. Barnett <barnett@crd.ge.com> uunet!crdgw1!barnett
