In the example configuration shown in Figure 3-11, the gateway at the top of the Figure will administer IP addresses for
Macintoshes on both LocalTalk networks and for the Macintosh on Ethernet. Turning on Option 7 in the FastPath Manager allows the gateway to administer IP addresses for Macintoshes connected directly to Ethernet or to a different LocalTalk network connected to the gateway over Ethernet, provided all the Macintoshes are in the same AppleTalk zone.
1111., All of the Macintoshes administered by one gateway must be in the same AppleTalk zone, which must be the zone name
configured on that gateway's LocalTalk interface. If a Macintosh is on the gateway's EtherTalk Phase 2 interface, the LocalTalk zone must be included in the EtherTalk Phase 2 zone list and must be selected in the Macintosh Control Panel. This method of managing client addresses cannot be used if there is more than one gateway configured for K-STAR IP in the same AppleTalk zone.
1111" When you use the gateway to administer IP addresses for Macintoshes on Ethernet, the Macintosh's performance on the network will be reduced, since all traffic from that Macintosh must go through the FastPath. If the internet supports a BOOTP or RARP server, you should use that to acquire the Macintosh IP address instead. See "Macintoshes on EtherneY' at the end of this chapter for more information. Any of the three addressing methods shown in the previous examples in this (:hapter (see Figures 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10) can be used in conjunction with Option 7 to allow the gateway to administer addresses for clients on more than one physical network. In this example, we use the default K-STAR IP addressing method shown in Figure 3-8.
1111" Option 7 cannot be used together with Option 8.
These Madntoshes will be managed by the K-STAR IP gateway.
This gateway will administer all IP addresses for TCP lIP Macs shown in this picture.

Figure 3-11. Distributed Macintosh clients
Note that in this example, the client addresses begin with the gateway address +1. The following IP addresses will be available for static assignment to client Macintoshes:
130.57.64.6 130.57.64.7 130.57.64.8 130.57.64.9
The following IP addresses will be available for client
Macintoshes to acquire dynamically as they boot up on the IP network:
In configuring the gateway, you should follow the general procedure described in Chapter 1. After connecting the gateway to a Macintosh via LocalTalk, launch the FastPath Manager, and select and open the gateway. In the main configuration dialog box,
• Click the Reset button, then open the gateway again.
• Click the Pause button.
• Enter the AppleTalk configuration data; see Chapter 2.
Note that the LocalTalk zone name must be included in the EtherTalk Phase 2 zone list if client Macintoshes will be supported in Ethernet.
• Turn on Option 7.
• Select K-STAR IP from the Configuration menu and double-click on the K-STAR IP listing in the
Configuration area.
• Enter the IP address of the FastPath Box.
• Enter the number of client Macintoshes controlled by the gateway.
• Click OK.
• Turn on the Remote Boot switch (optional).
• Download K-STAR.
• Click the Go button.
This example uses the internet configuration shown in Figure 3-8. For your site, you should determine the proper addresses for the gateway before you configure it.
Option 7:
IP Address of FastPath Box:
(Clients) Dynamic:
ON
130.57.64.5 5
(Clients) Static: 4
After selecting Reset and then Pause, enter the AppleTalk configuration you require, as described in Chapter 2. Then proceed with the IP configuration:
1. Click the Options ... button in the main configuration dialog box. This brings up the Options window.
2. Turn on Option flag 7, then click OK to return to the main
3. Select K-STAR IP from the Configuration menu and double-click on K-STAR IP in the Configuration area to open the IP dialog box.
4. Type the gateway's address in the IP Address of the FastPath Box field: 130.57.64.5, then press tab.
5. Double-click in the Dynamic field in the "Number of IP Clients" area, and type the number of client Macintoshes that will dynamically acquire IP addresses from the gateway: 5, then press tab.
6. Type the number of client Macintoshes that will be assigned static IP addresses administered by the gateway: 4, then press tab. The total number of clients supported by a gateway must be less than or equal to 60.
7. Click OK to return to the main dialog box.
8. Turn on the Remote Boot switch by clicking in the selection box.
9. Select Download a File ... from the File menu and open K-STAR.
10. Click Go to send the configuration data to the gateway.
11. Save the configuration file to disk.
At this point, Quit the FastPath Manager (using the File menu), turn off the FastPath, unplug it, and move it to its permanent location on the internet. When you bring up the gateway on the internet, launch the FastPath Manager on a Macintosh on either side of the gateway, and check the diagnostic messages in the Log window.
