Introduction to the Model 5390 Server
•
Send test messages to users.
•
Perform a remote loopback test on other hosts.
Full Routing
The Model 5390 server supports full routing that allows access to all
TCP/IP hosts on the network, regardless of location. The network’s complexity is not an issue: it
can be simple or it can have many subnets and gateways to other networks (for more details on
routing, see Internet Protocol (IP) Routing starting on page A12-1).
Full routing includes:
•
Passive routing in which the Model 5390 server uses the Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
to learn routes.
•
Active routing in which the Model 5390 server uses RIP to advertise learned routes. (The
network administrator enables this feature by setting the option_key parameter to a value
obtained from the Model 5390 supplier).
•
Hardwired routing for smaller networks.
Multi-protocol Support
The Model 5390 server supports multiple protocols, allowing access to Novell NetWare, TCP/IP,
ARA, and LAT hosts and services. The telnet and rlogin commands access TCP/IP hosts; the
connect command accesses LAT services; and remote ARA users dial into the Model 5390 server
and become directly connected ARA network users.
