889.0. "Triangulated Gigaswitches" by CHEFS::16.37.8.146::WorkBenchUser () Thu Apr 03 1997 09:06

I have a question on set-ups on three GS/ATM's.  Assuming that these are to 
function in a triangulated configuration, and that one of these GS will have 
the LECS, LES and BUS.  What is the set up on each of the GS's.  I believe 
that I have to use an 'export static route' menu. I tried this but the exact 
set up and, just as important, what exactly am I doing so I can work it out 
myself, it did not seem to work.  So volumes of info and pointers please.

889.1	Some more info please	LEMAN::PAIVA	Hawkeye - Network Support @GEO	`Sat Apr 05 1997 05:59`	13
	John, It's very hard to understand what exactly did you do and what didn't you and what was/is your problem? Did you allow for the "partial match" of your static routes (IISP)? Are you using the well-known LECS address? Cheers, Pedro

	Hi Pedro I am using the well known LECS, also I am using a partial match. But only found out this info from the support centre in Valbonne. But there is a conflict on the advice given. One source suggests creating the static rout on the GS owning the LECS/LES/BUS, and another suggests creating a static rout onthe remote GS. Which is correct ???. John

Unless you're using DEC NNI, you'll need a static route in each of the "remote" GS/ATMs pointing to the well-known LECS NSAP prefix and one in LECS' GS/ATM for each one of the other GS/ATMs' prefixes. Let me know if this is not clear for you. Cheers, Pedro [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
889.4	I will reconfigure the Giga's	CHEFS::16.195.80.52::John Layland	It can only get better	`Tue Apr 08 1997 18:47`	11
	Hi Pedro I will reconfigure the systems and let you know the result. There is a need for more technical information on the set up of the giga/atm. I have set up some very complex routed networks in the past including triangulated Decnis's, and multi redundant banks of decnis's using both decnet phase IV and V. So I find my difficulty in finding out how to set up what is a basic network mystifying. Regards John
