Example Networks

•AppleTalk network range:

This range specifies the AppleTalk network range of the LAN segment that the port is connected to. As indicated by the topology worksheet, the network range for SITE1’s LAN is 10-13.

Note: If we wanted SITE1 to be in discovery mode, we could have entered a range of 0-0. In the discovery mode, the system is a non-seed router, learning about its network from a seed router. Each network must have at least one seed router. Entering a network range for SITE1’s LAN port designates SITE1 as a seed router.

•suggested AppleTalk address

We want to select the default (none). This means that an unused AppleTalk address will transparently be assigned to the LAN port. If desired, you can suggest an AppleTalk address you would like to use for the port. When an address is suggested, that address will be used if, after a probe is done, it is known that no other device is using that address.

•default zone name

By assigning multiple zone names, you can logically group nodes on an internet. Each name can be configured to represent a logical group within that respective internet. As indicated on the topology worksheet, SITE1 uses two zones: Engineering and Marketing.

Enter SITE1.Engineering as the default zone name, then press 1 to add SITE1.Marketing as the second zone. The following screen will then be displayed:

Current Zones for PORT "lanport1":

Id Zone name

----------------------------------

1 Site1.Engineering (default)

2 Site1.Marketing

(1)Add, (2) Change, (3) Delete a Zone or <RET> for previous menu ? <RET>

Note: No zone configuration menu is presented for ports in discovery mode.

The LAN AppleTalk port information is now complete. To configure the WAN UnNumbered port simply press 1 to add a port, then select the WAN UnNumbered port type.

Normally, at this point, we would configure the necessary static routes. But, we can not configure a static route until we configure device SITE2. This is because a static route using an UnNumbered port requires a device name for the route’s next hop device. You can not enter a device name of a device that has not been configured. Device information is configured under the Security Menu.
