Enable AppleTalk Routing on an Interface

To enable AppleTalk on interface 1/5, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

HP9300(config)# int e 1/5

HP9300(config-if-1/5)# appletalk routing

HP9300(config-if-1/5)# end

HP9300# write memory

HP9300# reload

NOTE: By definition, values for the network range, AppleTalk address, and zone name fields are never entered for a non-seed router. If you enter information into these fields, the routing switch is a seed router.

NOTE: Once configured as a non-seed router, the routing switch will send out a query to a seed router on its network to obtain configuration details such as network range, AppleTalk address, and zone name(s) for the routing switch.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

To configure an interface as a non-seed router:

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration dialog is displayed.

2.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

3.Click on the plus sign next to AppleTalk in the tree view to expand the list of AppleTalk option links.

4.Click on the Interface link to display the AppleTalk Interface table.

5.Click on the Modify button next to the interface you want to configure for AppleTalk. The AppleTalk Interface configuration panel is displayed, as shown in the following example.

6.Select the port or slot/port to be configured from the port pulldown menu(s).

7.Modify the ARP age value from the default value of 10 minutes, if desired. Possible values are 1 – 240 minutes.
