Configuring AppleTalk

8.Beginning in software release 06.x, the AppleTalk ARP age is a global parameter instead of an interface parameter. When you enter an ARP age value for a port and apply the change to the running-config file or save the change to the startup-config file, the change is saved as the global setting. If you try to set different values for different ports, the interface does not display an error message. Instead, the most recent value you enter before saving the configuration change becomes the global setting.

9.Enable the routing option.

10.Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the device’s running-config file.

11.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

Modifying AppleTalk Interface Configurations

Once AppleTalk is active on a routing switch, all configuration changes are dynamic and require no reset. However, once you configure an interface for AppleTalk, you must disable AppleTalk routing before you can make any changes to the cable range, network address, or zones values. Once you make changes, you then must re­ enable AppleTalk routing for the new changes to take effect.

EXAMPLE:

Suppose you want to expand the network numbers supported on interface 3 from the range 10 – 50 to the range 10 – 100. Additionally, you want to add engineering and human resource zones to the interface. To do so, use one of the following methods.

USING THE CLI

HP9300(config)# int e1/3

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# no appletalk routing

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk cable 10-100

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk zone engineering

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk zone humanresource

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk routing

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# end

HP9300# write memory

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

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 reconfigure for AppleTalk. The AppleTalk Interface configuration panel is displayed.

6.Modify parameters as needed.

7.To modify other interfaces, select the port (and lost number if applicable) from the Port and Slot fields, then modify the values.

8.Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the device’s running-config file.

9.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
