Configuring DTS for an Extended LAN

If your network consists of several LAN segments that are connected by bridges, your network is considered to be an extended LAN. Planning for extended LANs is similar to planning for a single LAN; treat each segment of the extended LAN as though it were a separate LAN. The following guidelines are recommended:

· Create three servers in each segment.

· Use the dts configure command to configure one server on each segment as a global server.

· Use the dts modify command to configure one server on each segment as a courier.

· If you are using time-providers, connect them to the global servers.
