Twinax Attachment of Network Stations
145
5.6.3 Scenario Advantages
The advantages of this scenario are:
• It is easy to connect twinax attached IBM Network Stations to an existing
network.
• Minimal configuration required on the IBM Network Stations.
• The IBM Network Stations have access to hosts beyond the immediate
AS/400 server.
5.6.4 Scenario Disadvantages
The disadvantage of this scenario is that an understanding of concepts, such
as subnetting and Proxy ARP, may be required if the network has a somewhat
restricted addressing scheme.
5.6.5 Scenario Network Configuration
Figure 52 shows the network topology used for this scenario. The twinax
attached IBM Network Stations are connected to the As1 system. The IBM
Network Stations are on their own subnet which is taken out of the address
space 10.1.1.0.
