Apollo Ethernet EPROM mystery

My DN3000 has a 3C505 that I got off of eBay in 2012.  It does *not*
have a boot ROM, just the firmware EEPROMS - National NMC27C64N.  Works
fine, if I recall correctly.  I expect I would have tested it as soon as
I got it, and I did an assign an IP address to it.  Unfortunately, my
"lab notes" are eluding me at present -- they may be offsite from a
recent remodel.  But I am almost positive I tested it.

My Apollo manual on the adapter, 009741-00, "Unpacking and Installing
the EtherController-AT" is offsite (5 miles, accessible if needs be).

I just dumped the firmware: U15 and U16.  From looking at the
information online on the 3C505 at Bitsavers, those would be required
even in an Apollo -- but only for the on-board processor - the Apollo
itself would presumably not even be aware of them, so unless the MAME
folks are trying to simulate the processor on the adapter, they would
not need these ROMS.

Still, let me know if you want me to post the firmware onto my Google drive.

I also came across the following in my files, dated in 2012, which
indicates, as another post here pointed out, that the Apollo Boot ROM is
only needed for diskless boot.  That rings true - the manual I cited
above would confirm that, if needs be.

1.0 Environment

Our shop is running an Apollo Token Ring (ATR) with one DN4000, 2 DN3010
and 2 DN3000.  The DN4000 and two of the DN3010 are running SR10.3.  The
remaining two DN3000 are running SR10.1.

We also have an Ethernet connecting a Sun IPX, a PC running ESIX Unix
4.0.3 and three PC's running NCSA Telnet.

We wanted to install a gateway so that every machine on the ATR could
have access to every machine on the Ethernet.  The ESIX Unix box has all
our modems connected to it.  We were already running tcp/ip over the ATR
and Ethernet separately.  There is no need to boot anything diskless
over Ethernet.

2.0 3C505

Buy a 3Com 3C505 Ethernet card.  This is just a generic off the shelf
card.  I will not have a diskless boot ROM on it.  If you have need to
boot diskless, you will have to buy the card from Apollo.

3.0 Run the Jumper Program

Run /systest/ssr_util/jumpers and set the jumpers on the card.  See
Figure 1.

The jumper program shows two selections for jumper settings.  They are
actually both the same.  Select DIX if you use thick cable, BNC for thin
cable.

This sets up the card with :
        DMA Channel 6
        I/O Base 300h
        Interrupt 10
        Memory Address : Unit 0 Address 80000

4.0 Test tcp/ip

Make sure that tcp/ip is up and running by pinging each host on the ATR.

% ping m07

PING m07: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 198.8.6.54: icmp_seq=0. time=17. ms
64 bytes from 198.8.6.54: icmp_seq=1. time=10. ms
64 bytes from 198.8.6.54: icmp_seq=2. time=11. ms

----m07 PING Statistics----
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 10/12/17

5.0 Shut Down the Node

Shut down the node and turn off the power.  Put the service/normal
switch into the service position.

6.0 Installation of the Ethernet Card

Install the card into any slot. Power on the node.

I did not find it necessary to tell CONFIG that I have installed the
3C505.  If you do run CONFIG, set up the machine to have two network
controllers, the Ring and the Ethernet card.  Select the Ring as the
primary network.  When I did this, the boot diagnostics had trouble
finding the card even though everything worked fine.  Try whatever
works.

I decided not to tell CONFIG about the card so the machine would still
automatically boot.  I had no problems with this.

7.0 Test the Ethernet Card

Press RETURN a few times until you get the '>' MD prompt.  Type RE and
RETURN a few times until you hear a beep.  At the MD prompt again, run
TE, just to make sure have not messed up anything.  Since we did not put
the Ethernet card into the Configuration Tables using CONFIG, TE does
not test the card.  Don't put the case on yet.

Next run EX DEX to actually test the Ethernet card.  Select the Ethernet
card by typing SELECT ETHER -ALL.  Then run the test by typing GO.

Put the service/normal switch back into the normal position.

8.0 Boot the Node

Start Domain O/S by typing EX DOMAIN_OS and pressing RETURN.  The rear
LED on the card should blink at about a 1 second rate as the OS boots.

9.0 Edit These Files

Login as root and edit the following files.  The changed areas are shown
in bold larger typeface.  For the bigger files, only the portion changed
is shown with portion not shown indicated by a string of dots '.'.

9.1 /etc/hosts

I've used 198.8.6 for the ATR network and 198.8.7 for the Ethernet
network.  This machine, the gateway, has two entries (m01 on the ATR and
apollo on the Ethernet).  This is specified via the ifconfig command in
rc.local.

If your machines aren't actually on the Internet, you can make up the
network addresses.  If you are on the Internet, then you have been
assigned addresses.  Use those.

'localhost' and 'defaultmask' most likely have the values shown.  The
'defaultmask' of 255.255.0.0 indicate this is a gateway (by the first 0
entry).  A network without gateways would probably want to use
255.255.255.0.

#
#   Enable network interface(s) for TCP.
#   If the node has only one network interface,
#   then you can enable it using the pseudo-interface
#   'net0'.  If the node has more than one network
#   interface, or more than one internet address,
#   then you must enable each interface using its
#   explicit interface name (eth0, dr0, itr0, sl0, eth1, dr1, itr1)
#   and its numeric IP address (e.g. 128.5.1.2).
#
#   If the node is running in a subnetted environment,
#   you must supply 'netmask <subnetmask>' to ifconfig.
#   By default, the node enables interface 'net0' with
#   the subnet mask assigned to the pseudo host name
#   'defaultmask' in /etc/hosts.  If the name defaultmask
#   is not in /etc/hosts, then subnets are not enabled for
#   the interface.
#
#   You can use the form 'netmask icmp-request' to
#   indicate you wish the host to obtain the subnet mask
#   from local gateways,  using the ICMP Address Mask
#   Request/Reply protocol.  You can also enable this
#   ICMP Address Mask protocol by assigning the address
#   255.255.255.255 to the pseudo host name defaultmask
#   in /etc/hosts.
#
#   If the node must interoperate with certain older
#   TCP implementations, then add 'broadcast 0'
#   to the ifconfig command line.  The node will then
#   send the '0-form' IP broadcast address, which is the
#   one recognized by bsd4.2 and some other older tcp's.
#
#   Ifconfig must complete before routed starts up,
#   so DO NOT supply a trailing & on the command line.

Check the following files to make sure they are complete.

10.1 /etc/inetd.config

No changes required to this file.  Just make sure it looks like this.

11.0 Edit /etc/daemons

Edit the directory /sys/node_data/etc/daemons to start /etc/rtsvc.  To
do this, 'cd' to this directory and use the 'touch' command to create
the zero length file rtsvc.  Generally, a non-registry node should have
the following files in the /etc/daemons directory.  A registry node may
have rgyd and glbd as well.  Your node may have even a different mix.
This is what the directory may look like.

% ls -laL /etc/daemons

12.0 Reboot the Node

Shutdown and reboot the node.  The rear LED on the Ethernet card should
still be going at about 1 blink per second and new the front LED should
be steady on indicating successful initialization of the card.

13.0 Check It Out

Login as root and run the following to make sure all is well:

% rtsvc

The Network and Address should reflect the values you put into the
/etc/hosts and /etc/networks files.

% netstat -h

m07             U     0    0    00:00:d0:ce:00:00

The Mapaddr should show the Apollo Node ID's.  Other non-Apollo Nodes
should show the hardware Ethernet address of the card installed in that
system.  Here, 'markd' is a PC running NCSA Telnet.  Its Ethernet
hardware address is 00:00:c0:e7:60:2c.  (That is a number burned into a
PROM on the Ethernet card by its manufacturer - in this case a Western
Digital Elite 16).  The other hosts listed are all Apollo Nodes.

      inet 198.8.7.199 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 198.8.7.255 macaddr

Indicates the Ethernet interface is up and running.

% ifconfig dr0

dr0: flags=43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING>
     inet 198.8.6.56 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 198.8.6.255

Indicates the ATR interface is up and running.

14.0 Edit /etc/hosts files

Next, go all all machines in both networks and fix up their /etc/hosts,
/etc/hosts.equiv, and /etc/networks files to match those files on the
gateway machine.

On the ATR, you can specify this gateway node as the tcp_admin host.
Domain O/S then uses softlinks for these files on each node pointing to
this node.  Then you only have to keep one set of files up to date.  To
do this, create these links on the other nodes:

        ln -s //m01 //x01/etc/tcp_admin
        ln -s tcp_admin/etc/hosts //x01/etc/hosts
        ln -s tcp_admin/etc/hosts.equiv //x01/etc/hosts.equiv
        ln -s tcp_admin/etc/networks //x01/etc/networks

Where m01 is the gateway node, and x01 is each of the other nodes in the
ATR.

If you do this, an ls should have these entries on the tcp_admin machine
(I've deleted a bunch of lines from the ls listing):

15.0 Test tcp/ip

Test that tcp/ip is gatewaying by going to each host and pinging hosts
on the other network.

16.0 tcpst Utility

Since I can't remember what I had for breakfast let alone all the
details about tcp/ip, I've created a shell script to help me automate
tcp/ip administration tasks.

16.1 tcpst Options

h - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/hosts
n - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/networks
e - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/hosts.equiv
r - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/rc
l - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/rc.local
c - Edit //$UUNODE/etc/inetd.conf
j - Run the jumper program
i - Run ifconfig $IF
p - Ping a specified host
P - Ping each host in turn
R - Run rtsvc
N - Run netstat
d - Display /etc/daemons
t - Add (touch) a file to /etc/daemons

A - Setup tcp_admin links to $UUNODE from //*/etc/tcp_admin
        (erases each remote hosts, hosts.equiv and networks)
C - Copy //$UUNODE/etc/hosts and hosts.equiv to $NODES

X - Change System Node
Y - Change Interface
<cr> - exit program
