APPLETALK ROUTING COMMANDS

The following commands are used to display AppleTalk information and statistics.

atalk arp

This command will display the AARP (AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol) cache. AARP is used to map between a device’s AppleTalk address and their physical address. A sample output screen is shown below:

Entry 1: Address 21.1 @ 08:00:07:8f:90:04, valid

where:

Address 21.1 is Entry 1’s AppleTalk address.

08:00:07:8f:90:04 is Entry 1’s physical address (MAC address).

valid is the state of Entry 1’s address. The state value can be either valid or pending. If the state is valid, an address will have been logged (as shown). If the state is pending, the address would not yet be logged, and would appear as 00:00:00:00:00:00.

atalk ping <dnet>.<dnode> [timeout/dnnn]

This command will allow you to “ping” a specified device. If the ping is successful, you have connectivity to the device. If it is unsuccessful, you do not have connectivity to the device.
