Important Considerations

■An AppleTalk interface defines the relationship between a virtual LAN (VLAN) and an AppleTalk network:

■Every AppleTalk interface has one VLAN associated with it.

■For routing purposes, you define a range of network numbers that are assigned to the AppleTalk interface. Example: 20301 – 20310

■You can configure the interface to be a seed or nonseed interface:

■Seed interface — Initializes (“seeds”) the network with your configuration information. This information includes the network range and zone name list.

■Nonseed interface — Listens for a seed router and then takes the zone and network range information from the first seed interface that it detects. After a nonseed interface obtains this information, it can participate in AppleTalk routing.

■Before you define the AppleTalk interface, you must define a VLAN and select AppleTalk as a protocol that the VLAN supports.

■Clients that have not been configured to use a particular zone use the default zone name.

■You can enter up to 16 zone names per interface.
