5.9.3 Scenario Advantages
The advantages of this scenario include:
• Easier to connect twinax-attached IBM Network Stations to an existing
network
• Multiple servers do not need to exist on one system but can be configured
on different systems
• Routing of datagrams, from the twinax subnet to the attached LAN and
vice versa, occurs automatically
5.9.4 Scenario Disadvantages
There is a requirement for an extensive understanding of DHCP. The variety
of options required to setup within the DHCP configuration is the main
disadvantage.
5.9.5 Scenario Network Configuration
Figure 101 shows the network topology used for this scenario. The twinax
attached Network Stations are connected to the DHCP server, As1. The IBM
Network Stations receive their start-up information from the As1 system and
then are directed to the As2 system for their base and configuration code.
