Zone
If you have set this interface to be a numbered interface, you must provide a zone name which will be associated with the network number entered above. Zone names may be up to 32 characters in length.
Typically a name is chosen which has some significance to the physical loca- tions connected by the WAN link. An example would be “NYC - Chicago WAN.”
This name will appear in the Chooser program of computers which support AppleTalk, but there will be no selectable AppleTalk devices in the zone.
Node
If you have set this interface to be a numbered interface, you must provide an AppleTalk node number in this field which is unique for the network number you entered above.
ϖ Note: Compatible Systems routers require the assignment of a unique AppleTalk node number for numbered WAN interfaces. On Frame Relay networks in particular, you should keep a list of node number assignments to avoid conflicts.
>Update Method
WAN interfaces which are configured to provide
The AppleTalk RTMP protocol periodically sends out update information across a link. These periodic update packets will cause a WAN interface set for
