TOPIC

    This article tells why you would want to allow my Mac OS X Server to be an AppleTalk seed router.


DISCUSSION

    If you use more than one port on your NetBoot server, you need to be sure AppleTalk is in routing mode. There must be a seed router for every port that's connected to a subnet. The seed router can be the NetBoot server or an AppleTalk router.

    If the NetBoot server is the seed router for a subnet, you must enter valid AppleTalk network numbers when you use the NetBoot Server Setup Assistant. It is important that you enter the correct numbers because the NetBoot Server Setup Assistant cannot check to see if the numbers are valid. If you enter the wrong values, AppleTalk won't startup.

    If AppleTalk doesn't start up (You can check by using the ProcessViewer.), you can set up the NetBoot server so that only one port is used. Once you obtain the correct network numbers, you can set up other ports.
