More Complex Network Configurations

This chapter describes how to configure NetWare for Macintosh for network environments that are more complex than those covered in Simple Network Configurations. This chapter includes these examples:

• Example 6: EtherTalk 2.0 and LocalTalk shows how to add a LocalTalk network and install NetWare for Macintosh on a file server connected to Ethernet.

• Example 7: An EtherTalk 1.0 and EtherTalk 2.0 Network shows how to use both EtherTalk 1.0 and EtherTalk 2.0 on a single Ethernet cable.

• Example 8: TokenTalk, EtherTalk 1.0, and LocalTalkshows how to use configure a server with three AppleTalk interfaces.

• Example 9: Learning from Routers on an Internet shows how to use AppleTalk "seeding" when configuring three routers to form a five-network AppleTalk internet.

  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.
