I ran across what *might* be a misconfiguration of a FastPath using Kinetic's
Subnetting scheme. I am using shift 5, mask 11 which gives me something just
over 30 internet addresses in each appletalk subnet. Normally I have been
giving the ethertalk internet address something outside the range of numbers of
the subnet I was setting up. But E's looking much like F at times, I used
one of internet addresses in the range of the subnet.
( What I thought I did)
#128.1.190.74 granny #appletalk gateway
( What I did )
# G.N. 05 0B 8001BF40 8001BF4A
^----------Should have been an E.
# 5 11 128.1.191.64 128.1.191.74 (ie. 128.1.190.74)
# Apple Talk Zone: granny
# Net# : 1530
# Ethernet Zone : navel
# Net# : 1521
# Valid I/P @ : 128.1.191.64-95
# 128.1.191.64 gateway from localtalk side.
# 128.1.191.65 mac1
# 128.1.191.66 mac2
( got cha )
# 128.1.191.74 oops can't use this one for a mac.
Can anyone see any reason not to do this. It seems to me that it would simplify
my records of used @'s if the FP on both sides and the mac @'s were all in one
place. Setting this up on purpose I would use 128.1.191.65 for the gateway from
ethertalk side; 128.1.191.66 would be the first mac.
