6-16 Reference Guide

The AURP tickle timer is a parameter that you can set anywhere between 0 and 100 hours. This parameter tells the AURP partners when to send out an AURP tickle packet. If this value is set to 0, the Netopia Router will never send out a tickle packet.

■Select Update Interval (HH:MM:SS) and set the timer to indicate how often a Routing Information Update (RI-Upd) packet will be sent to the remote router.

The update timer is a parameter that you can set between 10 and 327270 seconds in 10-second increments. Values less than 10 will be rounded to 10. Values greater than 327270 will be rounded to 327270. Values in between 10 and 327270 will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 10.

■To enable network number remapping, select Enable Network Number Remapping and toggle it to Yes.

You should enable network number remapping if you plan on using AURP. With remapping, Netopia will substitute network numbers not used by your network for the numbers of other remote networks. These safe numbers will only be used by local routers on your network; remote routers will not be aware of the remapping.

When network number remapping is enabled, you must choose a safe range of network numbers as a destination for the remapping. A safe range of network numbers does not intersect your local AppleTalk network’s range of network numbers.

■To choose a destination range for the remapping, select From under Remap into Range and enter a starting value. Then select To and enter an ending value. Make sure the range you choose is large enough to accommodate all expected incoming AURP network numbers.

■To improve the efficiency of remapping network numbers into a safe range, select Cluster Remote Networks and toggle it to Yes. This setting takes any number of remote networks being remapped and causes them to be remapped into a continuous range.
