[comp.sys.proteon] Proteon P4200 subnetting

mohar@csed-1.UUCP (Mike Mohar) (05/02/88)

My company is about to connect to the Milnet and we wanted to change over
to the class 'B' addresses given to us from SRI-NIC.  We have 4 p4200s,
3 on a ProNet-80 ring with 2 Sun 3's.  Gw1 has 1 ethernet and T-1 interface,
gw2 and gw3 both have 2 ethernet interfaces.  After changing the interface
addresses to the class B (129.246) and setting the subnet to 129.246.0.0,
the gateways did not seem to be working correctly.  The logging did show
that they were enabling the subnets though.  Here's more info and any help
would be appreciated!

	Old addressing			New addressing

Sun1	 197.5.200.1			129.246.200.1
Sun2	 197.5.200.5			129.246.200.5

 GW1
pronet80 197.5.200.2			129.246.200.2	(255.255.255.0)
ether1	 197.5.201.10			129.246.201.10
T-1      197.5.100.5			129.246.100.5

GW2
pronet80 197.5.200.3			129.246.200.3
ether1   197.5.202.45			129.246.202.45
ether2	 197.5.203.80			129.246.203.80

GW3
pronet80 197.5.200.4			129.246.200.4
ether1   197.5.204.115			129.246.204.115
ether2	 197.5.207.200			129.246.207.200

Subnets are to be 200-207.

I'll say thanks now due to the many responses I've had before when
posting questions.

	Perhaps you have the subnetted net and net mask syntax wrong?
It should be like:
> ADD SUBNETTED-NETWORK 129.246.0.0 255.255.255.0
for each p4200.

	Then when you enter the "IP Config" part of the command menu
and do a "List all" you should see something like:

Subnetted net	Subnet mask	Default gateway
129.246.0.0	FFFFFF00	<whatever>

I talked to Proteon again and was told that you also need to "set send
subnets" which was omitted from our first conversation.  I'll find out
this Saturday.
