I am trying to integrate a Digital Unix Alpha server in a LAN that contains several NT severs. Could someone give me some advise on how to integrate Alpha server, so I can contact the Alpha from any NT and visa versa. Thanks!

what's the point of having loopback when you can just ping your local ip address? for example if my ip is 1.1.1.1, why can't i just do ping 5 1.1.1.1 instead of ping 5 127.0.1.1? it seems to me the only point in having it is for the sake of convenience? (2 Replies)

vb(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual vb(7)
NAME
vb, sys_attrs_vme_vba - VMEbus backplane Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
controller vb0 at vba0
DESCRIPTION
The VMEbus backplane (vb) interface provides access to an Ethernet network through the VMEbus backplane driver, which acts as an Ethernet
Datalink Layer driver. This interface allows VMEbus-based systems to communicate directly over the VMEbus to other VMEbus-based systems on
the same backplane, or on other Ethernet connected systems outside the backplane through a gateway node on the backplane.
Both the Tru64 UNIX and VxWorks for Alpha (Version 3.1 or higher) software support the vb driver as well as communication between these
systems on the same backplane. The Tru64 UNIX vb driver is supported on AXPvme and Alpha VME SBCs and Alpha VME 2100 systems.
The VMEbus backplane interface requires you to modify the /etc/sysconfigtab file on your AXPvme or Alpha VME system in order to configure
the vb driver and to map VMEbus windows for the system. Mapping the VMEbus windows on one node requires knowledge about every node in the
vb network.
Note
Do not modify any vme_vba kernel subsystem attributes. To configure a vb network node, you modify attributes of the vb driver (vb:) and
the system's VMEbus adapter (vba_vipvic: or vba_univ:).
See System Configuration Supplement: OEM Platforms for detailed information about the use of the vb interface on Alpha VME systems, includ-
ing the following topics: VMEbus backplane (vb) network overview Configuring vb network nodes Modifying vb driver attributes Modifying
