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 simple 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.
The local site shown in Figure 1-20 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 OfficeConnect
Remote identifies data not destined for the local
network.
