Configuring a Seed AppleTalk Router
When you configure an AppleTalk router as a seed router, you must define the cable range, AppleTalk address,
and zone names for the router interfaces.
To configure a seed router, perform the following tasks:
1. Configure the cable range (network numbers) to be supported on that interface.
2. Assign an AppleTalk address to the interface.
3. Assign a zone or zones to the interface.
4. Enable AppleTalk routing on the interface.
NOTE: Before configuring interface parameters for AppleTalk, you must enable AppleTalk at the system level.
USING THE CLI
This section describes defining a cable range, assigning network addresses and zones, and enabling AppleTalk
routing on an interface.
Configuring the Cable Range for an Interface
To support network numbers from 10 – 50 on interface 3, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config)# int e 3
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk cable 10 - 50
Syntax: appletalk cable <network-number> | <network-number - network-number>
Configuring a Network Address for an Interface
To assign an AppleTalk address of 10.5 to interface 3, enter the following command:
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk address 10.5
Syntax: appletalk address <node.network>
Configuring Zones on an Interface
To assign sales, marketing, and finance zones for interface 3, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk zone sales
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk zone marketing
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk zone finance
NOTE: Chassis devices and the TurboIron/8 router can support up to 1,536 zones per system and up to 64 per
interface. For Stackable devices operating with 32MB of memory, you can define up to 255 zones on the network,
and up to 64 on an interface.
For systems with 8MB of memory installed, up to 64 zones can be supported within the network, and up to 8
zones can be defined on an interface basis.
