9430.0. "How to config Arp Server on DUNIX ...?" by BERFS4::NORD () Tue Apr 08 1997 13:11

	Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and all the times between
	our nice earth knows,


	I will cross-post this entry on the DUNIX- and ATM-conference, 'cause
	I'm unable to locate my problem:



	I have looked in both of these conferences and it seems, that I'm the
	first one, who has the problem to configure different GIGAswitches/ATM
	and different systems in different locations, so that all will be great
	and functional network.

	The first I stumbled over is, that our GS/ATM didn't support the "arp
	server"-functionality. Reading the documentation of some other ATM-
	switch-vendors, there seems to be no problem for their switches to act
	as the "arp server" (unfortunatly the customer has selected DEC for
	the switch vendor). And that's my problem:

	I've look in both conferences, but either I'm blind or there is now
	entry:
	How to set up a Digital UNIX system V4.0x to act as a "arp server"?

	Having never done such a nice thing befor and will not have the time
	at the customer side to play some games with the GS/ATM and the DUNIX-
	systems, but having setup some systems at a other customer side
	(connected to Ciscos Lightstreams 1010 and the customer is happy),
	I think I'm a little familiar with configuring ATM on DUNIX.

	I need one arp server per ip-network, I will have two ip networks.
	I will have five GS/ATM, two in one ip network, one in in the other
	ip network, I will have nineteen systems, most of them connected to
	both ip networks via the GS/ATMs.

	So the questions are:
	What do I have to do, to configure one or more systems as an arp server?
	What do I have to do, to configure the GS/ATMs so they know about the
	arp server?
	I want to use ILMI on all the other systems if it is possible, is ILMI
	enabled per default on the GS/ATMs? Where to look to get this
	information?


	Ok, ok, ok, I have asked many questions and didn't know how complex it
	is to answer to them, but it is the problem of the missed documentation,
	so I have to ask the questions here and not to a book or some papers.


	Many thanks in advance for some helping hands and hinds.
