- 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.
