Important Considerations
An AppleTalk interface defines the relationship between a virtual LAN
(VLAN) and an AppleTalk network:
Every AppleTalk interface has one VLAN associated with it.
For routing purposes, you define a range of network numbers that
are assigned to the AppleTalk interface. Example:
You can configure the interface to be a seed or nonseed interface:
Seed interface — Initializes ("seeds") the network with your
configuration information. This information includes the network
range and zone name list.
Nonseed interface — Listens for a seed router and then takes the
zone and network range information from the first seed interface
that it detects. After a nonseed interface obtains this information,
it can participate in AppleTalk routing.
Before you define the AppleTalk interface, you must define a VLAN
and select AppleTalk as a protocol that the VLAN supports.
Clients that have not been configured to use a particular zone use the
default zone name.
You can enter up to 16 zone names per interface.
