SUMMARY
=======
When configuring the TP4 protocol over routers, if the router is capable of
understanding the ES-IS protocol there is no need to specify static routes or
default gateways. If the router doesn't understand the ES-IS protocol, you might
need to add Static Routes to the OSIRTE file.
This file is located in your %windir%\system32\drivers\etc directory. The file
includes comments on how to add routing table entries.
The following is a sample OSIRTE file.
;
; Static Routing table entries use the format as follows:
;
; NSAP:MAC/X.121 address:Priority:CardChoice
;
; Where;
; NSAP = The remote ES's NSAP you want to communicate with
;
; MAC = The ethernet address and is always an Hex format
;
; X.121 address must be encoded in hex as 703701020304..and so on
;
; Priority = 0 or 1.
;
; CardChoice = ndis device name. I know it is cumbersome
; Use the System-CurrentControl-services-Isotp-Linkage->bind of RegDB
; Key values as shown. (NOTE: Streams is omitted from ndis_dev name)
;
; NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED IN THESE ENTRIES
; RemoteNSAP can be ASCII. A $ implies HEX encoding for 1st & 2nd
; field.
;
; Lets take an example. If you want to route a destination whose
; NSAP is FIRSTPLACE on Etherlink 3 card to an IS system whose
; MAC address is 010203040506 the entry would loook like
;
; FIRSTPLACE:$010203040506:1:\Device\Elnk31
;
; The static routes are as defined below
;
; The 1st line is priority 0 route for NSAP 474747(hex)
; The 2nd line is alternate route for NSAP GEE ( hex:474747)
; Where as 2rd line is highest priority for NSAP GGG but on FDDI card.
; Now the card with subnet id = 0 will be the 1st one used.
;
;$474747:$112233445566:0:\Device\Elnk31
;GGG:$010203040506:1:\Device\Elnk31
;GGG:$010203040506:0:\Device\SkFddiFe2
