Title: Apple's Internet Routers, Token-Ring, and NetWare for Mac v3.0
Bulletin Date: 4/1/90 Revision 1.0
Category: Config Sub-Category: Server
S/W Product: v3.0 NWMAC H/W Product:
Version Affected: 3.0
Operating System: NW v3.11 Rev:
System and Hardware:
Application:
Symptom: When the AppleTalk router in NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 is
on a multi-ring Token-Ring network on which Apple Internet
Routers and Source Routing Token Ring bridges are present,
it requires a special NLM to communicate with Apple Internet
Routers.
Problem: The Apple Internet Router sends an 802.2 Test/Poll command
to a node when it needs to discover the Token-Ring route
(across bridges) to that node. It waits to receive an 802.2
Test/Final (reply) frame, which will contain the Token-Ring
route information, before sending AppleTalk frames to the
node. The AppleTalk stack/router NLM does not respond to
the Test/Poll command.
Solution or
Workaround: Install the ATTOKLLC.NLM NLM, which listens for and responds
to these Test/Poll frames. This NLM is not installed
automatically during the NetWare for Macintosh v3.0
installation. To install this NLM, you must manually copy
ATTOKLLC.NLM from the NW-MAC diskette to the directory
containing the NW-MAC product. You should then load the
NLM and bind it to the Token-Ring board that handles the
"TOKEN-RING" frame type, as described below.
After installing the NLM, follow these steps:
1.) Load the frame type "TOKEN-RING" for the Token-Ring LAN
driver being used for AppleTalk. (This is the default
frame type used when the board is loaded, but it is not
the frame type used by APPLETLK. If you are running IPX
and APPLETLK over the same Token-Ring, this frame type
is already loaded.)
2.) Load the Token-Ring Source Routing NLM "ROUTE.NLM" for
the Token-Ring board with the "TOKEN-RING" frame type.
Note that this is not the same logical board to which
APPLETLK is bound. (Again, if you are running IPX and
APPLETLK over the same Token-Ring board and you have
loaded ROUTE for that board, this step has already been
completed.)
3.) Load ATTOKLLC.NLM. There are no options for this NLM.
4.) Bind ATTOKLLC to the Token-Ring board handling TOKEN-RING
frames. Note that this is not the same logical board
to which APPLETLK is bound.
For example, if you have already configured AppleTalk on
Token-Ring as follows:
load token int=2 port=320 frame=token-ring_snap name=tsnap
load route board=1
bind appletlk to tsnap net=10-10 zone={"Paris"}
The following lines demonstrate the four steps described above:
load token int=2 port=320 frame=token-ring name=tring #Step 1.
load route board=2 #Step 2.
load attokllc #Step 3.
bind attokllc to tring #Step 4.
