CONFIGURING APPLETALK PORT INFORMATION
For this example, we need to configure both a LAN and a WAN UnNumbered AppleTalk port. The
LAN AppleTalk port represents SITE1’s connection to its LAN AppleTalk network, allowing SITE1
to exchange packets with the two MACs on the LAN. The WAN UnNumbered port creates a logical
AppleTalk network over WAN that uses unnumbered point-to-point links, allowing SITE1 to
exchange packets with SITE2.
We will begin with configuring the LAN AppleTalk port. Select AppleTal k Ports from the AppleTalk
Routing Menu. Then, press 1 to add a port. You will then be prompted for port inform ation as
shown below:
Use the following information to clarify each of the port information entries:
• port type:
Press 1 to select the LAN port type (this indicates that the system is physically connected to an
Ethernet LAN segment.
• port name:
The port name is a 1 to 16 character device-defined string that will identify the LAN port to the
system administrat or. Enter lanport1 for the port name.
• port number:
Enter 1 for the port number of the AppleTalk LAN port. This is the port number on the Ethernet
resource to which the physical LAN is connected.
• AppleTalk network type:
Choices are: extended or nonextended network. The extended network allows addressing of
more than 254 nodes and supports multiple zones, whereas the nonextended netw ork al lows up
to 254 nodes and supports only one zone.This network requires a range of network numbers and
multiple zones. Select the extended network type.
