A_Router; Acp_Key - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters
Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
C-38
The parameter descriptions that follow are in alphabetical order.
The port parameters in this section refer to the internal ports (asy, syn,
and ta) supported by the Remote Annex 6300 and are also referred
to as global port parameters. In addition, these parameters can be
included in Session Parameter Blocks within the RA 6300
configuration file. For information on internal ports and Session
Parameter Blocks, see Configuring the PRI Interface, Global Ports,
and Sessions on page A-51.
All parameters that can be used for asynchronous (asy)ports can also
be used for ta ports.

a_router

The Ethernet address of the network's A_Router. The RA 6300 uses this
value as a hint at start-up. When a Routing Table Maintenance Protocol
(RTMP) message arrives from this Ethernet address, the RA 6300 gleans
the AppleTalk DDP address from the packet and tries to talk to the
AppleTalk router. The address is a hexadecimal Ethernet address, e.g.,
00-7F-12-33-44-55. The default is 00-00-00-00-00-00.

acp_key

This Annex parameter defines the encryption key used to exchange
messages between the Annex and the security server. This parameter
works only when the enable_security parameter is set to Y and a security
server is defined. The security server maintains the encryption key for
each Annex in the acp_keys file. The default for this string is "<unset>."
The RA 6300 and the security server can communicate only when this
parameter's value matches the RA 6300's value in the security
server's acp_keys file.
