Gateways Interoperability
The partner gateway must be assigned with the -bl local_gw option to the local
gateway administering the physical connection. local_gw can be an individual
gateway or a list of local gateways. In the latter case, the first active gateway in
the list is used to send a request to the partner gateway. The option -np TCP
defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified. In
addition, the print protocol must be selected with the -pp BSD option.
The option -op option_list can be used to define the behavior of the local
gateway toward the corresponding contact gateway. Here the options
"PI=..." and "PA=..." are available. Default values are "PI=721" and
"PA=731". This port range is used by the local gateway to establish the
connection to the BSD partner.
The safest way to define a partner gateway is not to use the -op option
but to accept the default values.
Xprint V7.0 also offers the option of addressing a number of clients via a partner
gateway. In this case, use the following command:
xpadd -gtw bsd_group -pp BSD -tp PARTNER -ga 515 \
-ho bsd_host -bl local_gw -oh pattern
For pattern specify a string with replacement characters. These can be either the
asterisk (*, representing any string) or the question mark (?, representing any
character). This string is used for the host list in the /etc/hosts file, i.e.:
if the option "-op d241p*" is specified, the partner gateway represents all the
hosts in the /etc/hosts list which begin with d241p.
Allowing print jobs to be submitted by the BSD spooler
If you want to allow users of the BSD spooler to submit print jobs for local
printers via the gateway, the partner gateway must be defined as an allowed
gateway at the local gateway. To do this, use the following command:
xpmod -gtw local_gw -ag+ bsd_partner
With this command, the partner gateway bsd_partner is assigned to the local
gateway local_gw as an allowed gateway. Only the BSD systems which are
connected to the local Xprint V7.0 domain via allowed partner gateways are
allowed to use its print services.
You can also define all partner gateways as allowed gateways by using the
keyword ALL:
xpmod -gtw local_gw -ag ALL
