Multiple Connections from a Single Site
In some instances it is likely that you will need to connect to Novell servers
on one site, IP hosts on the same remote site or possibly a different
remote site and a connection into the Internet. This can all be achieved
by running the Quick Configuration several times until all the desired
types of connection have been configured. The only thing you need to
be aware of is that you cannot bridge and route the same protocol on
the same AccessBuilder bridge/router.
The local site shown in
Figure 1-5
is a small business that needs data links
to several of its clients and a connection to the Internet. It has an IPX
connection to access information on one client’s NetWare server and IP
routed connections to several IP hosts at different clients’ sites. Finally,
there is a connection to the local Internet service provider’s PPP router
giving fast access to the Internet. All connections can be set up with an
autocall so that connections to the remote sites are made as soon as the
Bridge/Router Module
identifies data not destined for the local network.
