- I currently have CAP 6.0 patch level 126 installed on our Sun 690 MP running
- Sun OS 4.1.3. I am using the native EtherTalk mode, and providing
- AppleTalk services via aufs, lwsrv, and papif.
-
- I now would like to use this computer to route AppleTalk traffic across
- it's 2 ethernet interfaces. I've read the CAP documentation, and made
- an initial stab at this, but so far it's been a dismal failure.
-
- Our topography:
-
-
- ___________
- EtherTalk Zone "A" | | EtherTalk Zone "B"
- ------|----------------|Sun 690MP|------------|--------------
- | ----------- |
- ------------ ------------
- |ARA server| | FastPath |
- | | | |
- ------------ ------------

- My questions:
- 1. Can I use only aarpd to do this, or must I also install uab?
- 2. Can I have both uab and aarpd both running at the same time? I use
- native EtherTalk since zone "B" is EtherTalk Phase II.
- 3. If not, do I have to abandon the native EtherTalk mode and rebuild
- everything using the uab mode?
- 4. If so, does the following bridge_desc file look OK:
-
- picasso.mmwb.ucsf.edu [elap,le:0] mkip [0]
- picasso.mmwb.ucsf.edu [elap,le:1] mkip [10860,A]
-
- 5. Any other gotchas I should be aware of?
- 6. Will Charles and Di ever patch things up for the kid's sake?
-
-
- The FAQ states that uab is only Phase I, but in the question above that
- statement it implies that uab can route between Phase II nets.
-
- Thanks for any pointers you can give me,
-
