AppleTalk allows for the logical grouping of nodes into zones to make navigation through the network easier. This is done with the Zone Information Protocol (ZIP). ZIP helps routers maintain a mapping of network numbers to zones in the entire network. To do this, ZIP creates and maintains a Zone Information Table (ZIT) in each router. The entries in this table match the network numbers with the zone names.

In the Administration Console, you can display the zone table either by network numbers or by zones.

To display the zone table:

From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:

appletalk zone display network

OR

appletalk zone display zone
