Summary: I need advice on how to configure the two RISC adapters. Keywords: fddi ethernet interconnect ifconfig tcpip risc tcpip Message-ID: Date: 24 Jun 91 18:19:57 GMT Sender: news@mack.uit.no (USENET News System) Organization: University of Tromsoe, Norway Lines: 34 We have tried out a number of sollutions, though admitting a lack of internet and routing know-how. Our set up is : ---- ethernet --------|------------------------|----------------- le0 le0 eldo.forut.no rado.forut.no fza0 fza0 |========= fddi =========| Both eldo and rado being DEC Station 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.1 with fddi adapters and ethernet adapters installed. How do we set up this to avoid any traffic accross the fddi segment but the traffic between eldo and rado, still being able to perform any nor- mal ethernet(tcp/ip) traffic using the common ethernet ???? Any solutions or hints are welcome concerning ifconfig /etc/hosts /etc/networks /etc/rc.local routed ? .... Our attepmts often gave odd warnings, such as .... # ping feldo feldo.fddi is alive # ping nic icp->icmp_type (5) != ICMP_ECHOREPLY (0) nic.forut.no is alive # ifconfig fza0 down Torstein Meyer torstein@forit.forut.no +47 83 80 150 Syst.cons FORUT-IT +47 83 82 420 (fax) Box 2806 Elverhoy N-9001 Tromsoe
