6. Select the port or slot/port to be configured from the port pulldown menu(s).
7. Modify the ARP age value from the default value of 10 minutes, if desired. Possible values are 1 – 240
minutes.
8. Beginning in software release 06.0.00, the AppleTalk ARP age is a global parameter instead of an interface
parameter. When you enter an ARP age value for a port and apply the change to the running-config file or
save the change to the startup-config file, the change is saved as the global setting. If you try to set different
values for different ports, the interface does not display an error message. Instead, the most recent value you
enter before saving the configuration change becomes the global setting.
9. Enable the routing option.
10. Configure the range of supported network addresses by entering the lowest supported number in the Start
Network Range field and the highest supported number in the End Network Range field.
11. Enter the AppleTalk address for the port. The address should be a two decimal number, and the first number
should be within the network range entered in step 10 above.
12. Enter a zone name for the port.
NOTE: If you do not enter any values other than zero in the network range or address field, and the zone
name field is empty, the router will be a non-seed router.
13. Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the device's running-config file.
14. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
Configuring a Non-seed AppleTalk Router
This section describes how to configure a non-seed router using the CLI or the Web management interface.
To configure a non-seed router, perform the following tasks:
1. Verify that at least one AppleTalk router in the network of the router being configured is operating as a seed
router.
NOTE: This requirement ensures that the non-seed router has a seed router on the same segment, from
which it can learn configuration details.
2. Enable AppleTalk at the global level.
3. Enable AppleTalk routing on the interface(s).
