Multiple Network Address Translation and IP Setup 10-41

Select IP Address Serving Mode. The pop-up menu offers the choices of Disabled, DHCP Ser ver (the default),
and DHCP Relay Agent.

If you select DHCP Relay Agent and press Return, the screen changes as shown below.

Now you can enter the IP address(es) of your remote DHCP ser ver(s), such as might be located in your
company’s corporate headquar ters. Each time you enter an IP address and press Return, an additional field
appears. You can enter up to four DHCP ser ver addresses.

In the example above, DHCP requests from clients on the LAN will be relayed to the DHCP ser vers at IP
addresses 10.1.1.1, 20.1.1.1, and 30.1.1.1.

MacIP (Kip Forwarding) Options

When hosts using AppleTalk (typically those using LocalTalk) are not directly connected to an IP network (usually
an Ethernet), they must use a MacIP (AppleTalk-IP) gateway.

The optional Netopia AppleTalk feature enhancement kit provides for this ser vice. A MacIP gateway conver ts
network traffic into the correct format for AppleTalk or IP, depending on the traffic’s destination. The MacIP
gateway can also distribute IP addresses to AppleTalk computers on the network.

Note: Macintosh computers that have LocalTalk or EtherTalk selected in the MacTCP control panel, or
“AppleTalk (MacIP)” selected in the TCP/IP control panel, must use the MacIP gateway to communicate with the
Internet or any other IP network. Users should point their MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel to look in the
LocalTalk zone for the MacIP ser ver. Macintosh computers that have Ethernet selected in the MacTCP or TCP/IP
control panel can do their own AppleTalk-IP conversions.

Setting up MacIP involves choosing MacIP dynamic address ser ving and then configuring that type. KIP
for warding is simply a method for distributing IP addresses to AppleTalk clients.

To go to the MacIP Setup screen, select MacIP/KIP Clients in the IP Address Ser ving screen from the System
Configuration menu.

Select Serve Mac IP/KIP Clients and toggle to Yes, to enable MacIP/KIP address ser ving capability. This
