Setting up multihoming

Follow these steps to set up multihoming capabilities on your server:

1Install PCI network cards (and associated software) for additional network segments that you want to connect to your server.

Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of this setup guide.

Note: This step is optional, as you can take advantage of multihoming capabilities even when network segments are connected only to the built-in LocalTalk and Ethernet ports on your server.

2Configure the Open Transport options for your server.

Follow the instructions for configuring your AppleTalk network connection in Chapter 2, “Configuring Your Network Connection,” of the Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide.

IMPORTANT Each port must be assigned to a different zone.

3Configure your network server software to enable multihoming on your server.

See the documentation that accompanied your network server software. (For AppleShare version 4.2.1, see the Addendum to AppleShare Administrator’s Guide.)

Use a router to connect each network segment

Although users on different multihomed network segments can share and exchange files by using the server as a common storage area, each multihomed network segment is not visible to the other segments without use of a router. For example, suppose you have four multihomed network segments connected to your server (A, B, C, and D). Computers and other network devices such as LaserWriter printers on segment A are not visible to segments B, C, or D unless there’s a router between A and the other three segments.
