Using the Netra Server In a Network Topology
The Netra server supports the two basic network scenarios described below.
Figure 1-1 shows a typical Internet scenario. Note that there are two Netra
servers in this scenario. The server stimpy acts as an Internet gateway server
for all the systems in the domain called tv.net. The server ren serves the
domain called comedy.tv.net and uses stimpy for Internet access.
Clients on the LAN use the Netra server to access the Internet. The Netra
server is the router, and this enables it to pass information from the Internet to
the clients on the LAN. If only one network port exists on the Netra server, the
scenario in Figure 1-1 is supported by adding virtual network interfaces.
