13-12 User's Reference Guide
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.
To override the AppleTalk maximum limit of 15 hops, select Enable Hop-Count Reduction and toggle it to
Yes. Hosts on a local AppleTalk network will then see AppleTalk destinations across the IP tunnel as being
only one hop away.
AppleTalk allows a packet up to 15 hops (going through 15 AppleTalk routers) to reach its destination.
Packets that must reach destinations more than 15 hops away will not succeed; therefore, tunneling from
one large AppleTalk network to another could exceed that limit. In such a case, hop-count reduction
enables full network to network communication.
You have finished configuring AURP.
