Administering gateways

Interoperability

To configure additional connections to other gateways, proceed as follows:

First check whether there is a local gateway to which you can add the new connection:

xpshow -gtw -scl "-tp LOCAL -np protocol -pp gateway_type"

This command returns a list of all the local gateways of the type gateway_type using the network protocol protocol.

Then define the new partner gateway with the xpadd -gtwcommand, as described earlier in this section for the individual gateway types (see section “Gateways” on page 213).

If you want to allow the partner gateway to print on printers of the local Xprint

V7.0 domain via the local gateway, deactivate the local gateway: xpchange -gtw gateway -st NOT_ACTIVE

You only need to deactivate the local gateway if you want to modify the list of allowed gateways. This is not necessary if you have defined the local gateway with -ag ALL or if the you do not want to make the new gateway an allowed gateway (define it only for sending requests), e.g.:

xpmod -gtwgateway -ag+partner_gateway

Then reactivate the local gateway with the following command: xpchange -gtw gateway

Example

To set up an additional connection from the local gateway nashua to the lpd spooler of the BSD-UNIX system picasso:

xpshow -gtw -scl "-tp LOCAL -np TCP -pp BSD"

only returns the gateway GTW_nashua

xpadd -gtw GTW_picasso -tp PARTNER -ho picasso -ga 515 \ -bl GTW_nashua -np TCP -pp BSD

xpchange -gtw GTW_nashua -st NOT_ACTIVE xpmod -gtw GTW_nashua -ag+ GTW_picasso xpchange -gtw GTW_nashua
