Prestige on LAN with Server
When the Prestige is being connected to a LAN with an existing
NetWare server station, you will not need to configure the Prestige
as a seed router, and hence the network number parameter in the
Ethernet Setup Menu for the Prestige. Rather, the Prestige will learn
the network number of the network it is attached to through the
regular RIP broadcasts sent by the server and add this route to its
routing table.
Prestige on LAN without Server
If the Prestige is connected to a LAN without an existing NetWare
server station, then it needs to create a unique external network
number to apply to that frame on the LAN. This Prestige must then
be configured as a Seed Router, and the network number can be
configured in the Ethernet Setup Menu. The network number must
be unique and not used anywhere else on the entire internetwork.
