Step 3:
Set DNS name resolution on all workstations in the network by entering
the DNS server of UUNet. Alternatively, enter the IP address of the
proxy server of UUNet in the browser.
Step 4:
Send a ping from a workstation in the network to the domain name
server of UUNet:
ping <DNS Server of UUNet> -w 5000
If you receive a reply, the connection has been configured correctly.
3.6 Settings for Routing
The following section explains which routing protocols of the NT/MPRI
should be used and what to keep in mind when assigning these proto-
cols to the call destinations.
IP Settings
The NT/MPRI uses the routing protocol RIP2 in the LAN and static rout-
ing over ISDN. This prevents frequent calls for the purpose of exchang-
ing RIP packets over ISDN.
When configuring a call destination, select via RIP2 whether the static
route to this call destination should always be known to the LAN or
whether it is to be reported after a logical ISDN connection is estab-
lished. In the first case, a logical ISDN connection is established by any
packet intended for a call destination outside of the LAN. In the latter,
packets only can be sent to a call destination when a logical ISDN con-
nection to this call destination exists and the route thus is known in
the LAN.
IPX Settings
For IPX, the NT/MPRI uses dynamic routing with IPX RIP and SAP in the
LAN and over ISDN. RIP/SAP is exchanged the first time a logical con-
nection is established over ISDN and made known to all possible
routes in the network. RIP/SAP is used as long as a logical ISDN con-
nection exists.
