Simple Network Configurations

This chapter describes how to configure NetWare for Macintosh for several simple AppleTalk network environments. See More Complex Network Configurations if your network is more complex than these examples:

• Example 1: Adding NetWare for Macintosh to Ethernet shows how to add NetWare for Macintosh to a file server connected to Ethernet.

• Example 2: Adding NetWare for Macintosh to ARCnet shows how to add NetWare for Macintosh to a file server connected to ARCnet.

• Example 3: Creating a LocalTalk Network shows how to add a LocalTalk network for AppleTalk services.

• Example 4: EtherTalk 2.0 with Other AppleTalk Routers shows a file server on Ethernet where another AppleTalk router already exists on that network.

• Example 5: Learning from Other Routers shows an easier way to configure a server when another AppleTalk router already exists on a network.

  NOTE:  The procedures described in this chapter specify that you must down the file server and bring it up again to activate AppleTalk with the most current configuration specifications. This requirement is based on the recommendation that you configure your networks and zones in the server's STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files. An alternative to this approach is to type the commands at the server console. If you type the commands at the console instead of entering them in the server's STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files, you do not need to down the file server to activate AppleTalk.

See Managing AppleTalk File Services and Managing AppleTalk Print Services for important information about your options in AFP and print service configurations.
