Configuring App leTalk Routing

This chapter describes how to configure AppleTalk routing for each interface. To configure AppleTalk filters, see the AppleTalk and AppleTalk Filter sections in the Cisco VPN 5000 Concentrator Series Command Reference Guide.

Note For commands that require the interface slot and port, slot 0 is the far left slot for the VPN 5008 chassis, and the top slot for the VPN 5002 chassis.Ports are numbered starting with 0, so for a module with one port, the port is 0.

Enabling Routing

To turn on routing, follow these steps. For Ethernet and PPP connections, turning on routing is usually all that is required. For other options, see the AppleTalk section in the Cisco VPN 5000 Concentrator Series Command Reference Guide.

Command Purpose

Step 1

configure AppleTalk {Ethernet | WAN} slot:port
Identifies the port for which you want to enable routing.

Step 2

Mode = Routed
Turns on routing.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	configure AppleTalk {Ethernet \| WAN} slot:port	Identifies the port for which you want to enable routing.
Step 2	Mode = Routed	Turns on routing.

Configuring Ap pleTalk for Frame Relay

To run AppleTalk over a Frame Relay link, follow these steps:

Command Purpose

Step 1

configure AppleTalk WAN slot:port
Identifies the port for which you want to enable AppleTalk routing.

Step 2

Mode = Routed
Turns on routing.

Step 3

Numbered = On
Specifies that the interface has a network number.

Step 4

NetLower = Number
Specifies the network number between 1 and 65279. Each network number supports up to 253 node addresses. Make sure the AppleTalk network number is not in use on another network segment.

Step 5

Node = Number
Specifies the node number between 1 and 253 and must be unique for the network defined by NetLower.

Step 6

DefZone = "Zone_Name"
Defines the default AppleTalk zone name. Zone names can be up to 32 characters in length and can include spaces.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	configure AppleTalk WAN slot:port	Identifies the port for which you want to enable AppleTalk routing.
Step 2	Mode = Routed	Turns on routing.
Step 3	Numbered = On	Specifies that the interface has a network number.
Step 4	NetLower = Number	Specifies the network number between 1 and 65279. Each network number supports up to 253 node addresses. Make sure the AppleTalk network number is not in use on another network segment.
Step 5	Node = Number	Specifies the node number between 1 and 253 and must be unique for the network defined by NetLower.
Step 6	DefZone = "Zone_Name"	Defines the default AppleTalk zone name. Zone names can be up to 32 characters in length and can include spaces.
