Hi, we have a 3000/500 here which has an FDDI card in it.
Recently we have been collapsing our several FDDI rings into one large
ring. In the past these different fddi rings weren't connected and were on
seperate (private) IP ranges.
On collapsing them these IP ranges are being problematic and in transition
we've been using IP aliases to allow NFS volumes to be mounted.
Eg a server on the one FDDI ring had an IP 111.111.111.1 and another
server on another ring had 111.111.112.1 (I know these are class A
addresses! I didn't set them up) So now a client on 111.111.112.x wants to
mount 111.111.111.1's disks, there's no router and the subnetmasks have
been set to 255.255.255.0 so they can't talk direct. To get around this
we've put IP aliases up on the affected machines.
One of them - the 3000/500 - won't mount any volumes over this IP alias...
Any ideas?
