- I'm in the process of setting up CAP and my environment is such
- that I have to use atalkad. We have three fastpaths, each on
- a different subnet. The relevant information one these boxes is:
-
- fastpath 1:
- ip number = 131.162.1.2
- localtalk net number = 0.100
- IPtalk net number = 0.200
- ethertalk net number = 1.1 (257)
-
- fastpath 2:
- ip number = 131.162.64.2
- localtalk net number = 0.101
- IPtalk net number = 0.201
- ethertalk net number = 1.1
-
- fastpath 3:
- ip number = 131.162.66.2
- localtalk net number = 0.102
- IPtalk net number = 0.202
- ethertalk net number = 1.1
-
- One zone is defined for the entire appletalk network (campus).
-
- I've constructed an atalkatab file but something still seems to
- be wrong with it, at least when it is used on one of two hosts
- that I want to run atalkad on.
-
- The host that atalkad is not working on has an ip number of
- 131.162.2.77, so it is not on the same subnet as any of the fastpaths
- (is that a problem?). The atalkatab file I've constructed looks like
- this:
-
- 1.1 N1 131.162.1.0 Campus #ether
-
- 0.100 E 131.162.1.2 Campus #localtalk
- 0.200 K 131.162.1.2 Campus #KFPS 1
- I131.162.1.255 I131.162.2.77 #ipbroad ipname
- L0 L0 #ipdebug ipfile
- L0 L0 L0 L0 S1.1 S200 #ipother atnetet ddprange
- LX0 S0 S7 #flags ipstatic ipdynamic
- S0.200 S0.100 #atneta atnete
-
- 0.101 E 131.162.64.2 Campus #localtalk
- 0.201 K 131.162.64.2 Campus #KFPS 2
- I131.162.1.255 I131.162.2.77 #ipbroad ipname
- L0 L0 #ipdebug ipfile
- L0 L0 L0 L0 S1.1 S200 #ipother atnetet ddprange
- LX0 S0 S7 #flags ipstatic ipdynamic
- S0.201 S0.101 #atneta atnete
-
- 0.102 E 131.162.66.0 Campus #localtalk
- 0.202 K 131.162.66.2 Campus #KFPS 3
- I131.162.1.255 I131.162.2.77 #ipbroad ipname
- L0 L0 #ipdebug ipfile
- L0 L0 L0 L0 S1.1 S200 #ipother atnetet ddprange
- LX0 S0 S7 #flags ipstatic ipdynamic
- S0.202 S0.102 #atneta atnete

- I am not sure if I have the localtalk, iptalk, and ethernet net
- numbers in the right places, although I've tried other arrangements
- and it doesn't seem to make any difference, and I doubt the use
- of the E option is right. Atalkad -c compiles the file with no errors:

- When I run atalkad -d, it gives the following:

- To make a long story short, I obviously have something wrong in
- my atalkatab file that prevents the atalkad host from communicating
- with the fastpaths. If anyone has any suggestions what might be
- wrong, I would *greatly* appreciate hearing from you.
