13-6 MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
AppleTalk Routing
Configuring AppleTalk routi ng
simplifies potential network configuration changes. Should you need to change the
network numbering, only the seed router needs to be reconfigured. The nonseed routers
simply need to be rebooted to learn the changes.
5If the MAX is to be a seed router, set the Net Start and Net End parameters to specify the
range for the network to which the unit is attached. (For example, the menu shown in
step 4 specifies a range of 300–309.)
If there are other seed routers sharing the MAX unit’s network segment, this information
must be identical on all routers that share the network segment. If there are no other seed
routers, every network number from Net Start to Net End must be unique for the entire
internet. Valid network numbers are from 1–65,534.
6If the MAX is to be a seed router, set the Default Zone parameter to specify the
default-zone name assigned to the local AppleTalk network segment. Enter up to 33
alphanumeric characters for the name. (For example, the menu shown in step4 specifies
SALES as the default zone.)
AppleTalk routers assign the default zone to any AppleT alk dev ice that is conn ected to the
local Ethernet segment but has not explicitly been assigned to another zone.
Note: Zones can be shared across network segments. However, the Default Zone and list
of additional zones need to be identical for any AppleTalk router sharing the local network
segment.
7If the MAX is to be a seed router, in each of one or more of the Zone Name parameters,
specify the names of any other zones assigned to the network segment to which the MAX
is connected. Enter up to 33 alphanumeric characters for each name. (For example, the
menu shown in step 4 specifies MKTG in the Zone Name #1 field and SALES, MKTG in
Zone Name #2.)
8Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
9Reset the MAX unit to put the AppleTalk routing changes into effect.
Answer profile parameters
If you configure the MAX to authenticate with names and passwords, enable AppleTalk
routing in the Ethernet > Answer profile by setting Route AppleTalk to Yes. For example:
Ethernet
Answer
PPP Options…
Route IP=No
Route IPX=No
Route AppleTalk=Yes
Bridge=Yes
Recv Auth=None
MRU=1524
(You cannot set the Route AppleT alk para meter if AppleTalk is set to No in the Ethernet > Mod
Config > AppleTalk Options profile or if AppleTalk Router is set to Off in that profile’s
AppleTalk Options submenu.)
