NetBlazer LAN Configuration
When the NetBlazer is turned on, it automatically creates an interface for
every LAN interface card installed in your NetBlazer. In this manual, the
term interface is used for connections between devices or systems, specifi-
cally network connections.
To configure an interface, you tell the NetBlazer which of the physical
NetBlazer ports the LAN is attached to, and provide the NetBlazer with a
LAN address for that interface (in the case of IP and IPX).
You need to configure at least one interface for each protocol you’ll be
routing over the LANs attached to your NetBlazer. (See Appendix A,
“Configuring for Multiple Protocols” for information on setting up multiple
protocols.) Note, however, that if your NetBlazer will only be used as a
dial-up ARA server, the NetBlazer is preconfigured as an AppleTalk
nonrouter on both the en0 port and the lt0 port. This means that if you will
only be using ARA (and doing no other routing) your NetBlazer is com-
pletely configured once you have named it and set a password. For all other
routing, however, you need to set up the NetBlazer so it can route IP, IPX,
and/or AppleTalk on the LANs.
To configure your LAN protocols:
1. Complete the NetBlazer setup steps described on page 4-1 and
return to the Main Menu.
2. Select NetBlazer port setup.
