This chapter lists all the sections and keywords you can use with the configure command.
This section is used to configure AppleTalk parameters for a device.
configure AppleTalk [Phase 1 | Phase 2] {{Ethernet | WAN} slot:port | VPN number | Bridge [0.sub-interface]}
Phase 1 | Phase 2 |
You can have a section for Phase 1 and one for Phase 2 for the same interface. |
Ethernet | WAN | Identifies the type of port for which you want to configure this section. |
slot:port | For a modular platform, identify the slot:
For the VPN 5001 concentrator, enter only the port number. For a module with one port, the port is 0. |
VPN number | Identifies the VPN port you configured in the Tunnel Partners section for a LAN-to-LAN tunnel. |
Bridge [0.sub-interface] | If you enabled bridging on one or more AppleTalk ports, you can bridge all the ports together and assign a single AppleTalk network to the bridge. You can create multiple Bridge sections with unique AppleTalk networks by using sub-interface numbers, from 1 to 255. |
Cisco Systems devices support AppleTalk Phase 1 and AppleTalk Phase 2, and "transitional routing" between the two. AppleTalk Phase 1 is an earlier version of the AppleTalk protocol. We recommend that all new AppleTalk installations use AppleTalk Phase 2.
After entering the configure command for the section, enter one or more of the following keywords.
mode = {routed | bridged | off} | The mode keyword describes the method the device is to use to handle AppleTalk packets when received by the device.
| ||
seed = {seed | auto | noseed} | The seed keyword specifies whether the interface will function as the seed Ethernet interface for the attached network.
| ||
netlower = number | The netlower keyword specifies the lower network number in a range of AppleTalk network numbers for a seed Ethernet interface, or the single network number for a numbered WAN interface. This keyword is ignored if the interface isn't configured as either a seed Ethernet interface or numbered WAN interface. The network number must be between 1 and 65,279. Each network number will support up to 253 node addresses. For all types of Ethernet interfaces being seeded, the netlower and the netupper keywords must be specified. For Phase 2 Ethernet interfaces, the two values may be equal. For Phase 1 Ethernet interfaces, they must be equal. Accidental selection of an AppleTalk network number (or range of numbers) which is already in use on another network segment may cause hard-to-diagnose problems. You should carefully track which AppleTalk network numbers are in use, and where. The show appletalk command can help in tracking your network configuration. | ||
netupper = number | The netupper keyword specifies the upper network number in a range of AppleTalk network numbers for a seed Ethernet interface. This keyword is ignored if the interface isn't configured as a seed Ethernet interface. The network number must be between 1 and 65,279. Each network number will support up to 253 node addresses. For all types of Ethernet interfaces being seeded, the netlower and the netupper keywords must be specified. For Phase 2 Ethernet interfaces, the two values may be equal, but for Phase 1 Ethernet interfaces, they must be equal. Accidental selection of an AppleTalk network number (or range of numbers) which is already in use on another network segment may cause hard-to-diagnose problems. You should carefully track which AppleTalk network numbers are in use, and where. The show appletalk command can help in tracking your network configuration. | ||
node = number |
| ||
The defzone keyword defines the default AppleTalk zone name for Phase 2 Ethernet interfaces and the single zone name that can be defined for WAN and Phase 1 interfaces. This keyword must be used on Phase 2 and Phase 1 interfaces configured to seed, and on WAN interfaces configured to be numbered, otherwise it will be ignored. Zone names may be up to 32 characters in length and may include spaces. If you wish to add other zones to the zone list for the extended network (Phase 2 only), use the zone keyword in this section. | |||
The zone keyword lets a zone list be specified for extended (Phase 2) interfaces. Only extended Ethernet interfaces (Phase 2 Ethernet) which you set to seed can have zone lists specified for them. Use this keyword multiple times to define a complete zone list for the interface. This keyword will be ignored if specified in a nonextended (Phase 1 or WAN) interface. Typically, zone names are chosen which have some significance to the physical location or the corporate purpose of the network segment. An example would be "Accounting Department" or "Administration." These names will appear in the Chooser for Macintoshes on the network. Note that this keyword is not used to specify the interface's zone name. The keyword defzone, documented in this section, allows specification of either the default zone name for an extended interface (Phase 2) or the interface's zone name for a nonextended interface (Phase 1). | |||
numbered = {on | off} | The numbered keyword specifies whether the wide area network connected to this interface will have an AppleTalk network number associated with it. If on is specified, then you must set an AppleTalk network number and zone for this WAN interface. See the netlower and defzone keywords. Many wide area network connections are simple point-to-point links. These links do not generally require a network number because there are only two devices on the link. All traffic sent from one end is, by definition, destined for the other end. You generally do not need a numbered WAN interface if you are using the PPP transport protocol. In contrast, Frame Relay networks may have a number of participating routers connected through a single physical interface. Because of this, use of the Frame Relay transport protocol requires a numbered WAN interface. | ||
updates = {periodic | triggered} | The updates keyword specifies the way in which the device sends AppleTalk RTMP information over the link.
| ||
outfilters = string | The outfilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk packet filter to be associated with the output filter interpreter of the interface. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. Packets being transmitted on the interface will be compared against the filter list(s) specified. Any packet not explicitly allowed by the rule set is dropped silently. When more than one set is defined, the filter interpreter will process the sets in the order specified. The only rules used in this interpreter are the type, srcnet, dstnet, srcnode, dstnode and srcskt. For Name Binding Protocol (NBP) request and reply packets the NBPName, NBPType and NBPZone rules are also used. All other rules are ignored. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk Packet filtering rules. | ||
infilters = string | The infilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk packet filter to be associated with the input filter interpreter of the interface.Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. Packets being transmitted on the interface will be compared against the filter list(s) specified. Any packet not explicitly allowed by the rule set is dropped silently. When more than one set is defined, the filter interpreter will process the sets in the order specified. The only rules used in this interpreter are the type, srcnet, dstnet, srcnode, dstnode and srcskt. For NBP request and reply packets the NBPName, NBPType and NBPZone rules are also used. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. All other rules are ignored. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk packet filtering rules. | ||
outrtmpfilters = string | The outrtmpfilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk filters to be associated with the output RTMP (Routing Table Maintenance Protocol) filter interpreter of the interface. RTMP tuples (AppleTalk network numbers) originating on the interface will be filtered with these rules. The only rules used in this interpreter are the network and net-range rules. All other rules are ignored. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk packet filtering rules. | ||
inrtmpfilters = string | The inrtmpfilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk filters to be associated with the input RTMP filter interpreter of the interface. RTMP tuples (AppleTalk network numbers) received on the interface will be filtered with these rules. The only rules used in this interpreter are the network and net-range rules. All other rules are ignored. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk packet filtering rules. | ||
getzonefilters = string | The getzonefilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk filters to be associated with the Get Zone List (GZL) filter interpreter of the interface. The interpreter allows the filtering of outgoing GZL replies on an interface. These replies contain the zone list displayed by the Chooser on a Macintosh when it is opened. This interpreter will allow control of the zones that are seen on a Macintosh behind a device. The only rules used in this interpreter are the network, net-range and zone rules. All other rules are ignored. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk packet filtering rules. | ||
zipreplyfilters = string | The zipreplyfilters keyword allows the named AppleTalk filters to be associated with the ZIP reply filter interpreter of the interface. The ZIP reply interpreter allows incoming zone names in ZIP reply packets to be filtered. ZIP reply packets are used between routers and access servers to exchange the zone names for the networks kept in their routing tables. These devices are required to maintain a zone list for each of the networks maintained in the AppleTalk routing table and receive the zone name from an upstream router advertising the network. Extended networks allow more than one zone name to be associated with the range, even if it is a single range.
The only rules used in this interpreter are the zone and network rules. All other rules are ignored. Up to four filter sets may be specified, each enclosed in double quotes and separated by white space. If no string is specified, then the keyword is ignored by the parser. This feature can be used to turn off a filter set (or sets) without deleting the keyword. See the AppleTalk Filter section for a definition of the AppleTalk Packet filtering rules. | ||
lockout = {on | off} | The lockout keyword specifies an NBP filter that is applied to the physical network segment connected to the interface. Specifying on causes the device to drop any NBP lookups which are destined for this physical segment. This will protect devices on the segment from access by users on other segments. | ||
lockin = {on | off} | The lockin keyword specifies an NBP filter that is applied to the physical network segment connected to the interface. Specifying on causes the device to drop any NBP lookups which originate on this network segment destined for another network segment. The effect will be that users will not have access through the device to network devices on other segments. | ||
lwfilter = {on | off} | The lwfilter keyword allows a LaserWriter filter to be enabled for the interface. A LaserWriter filter protects all LaserWriters in the AppleTalk zone configured for the interfaces from NBP lookup by computers in other AppleTalk zones. The effect is that LaserWriter devices in the DefZone will only be visible to Macintoshes on networks with the same zone name across your AppleTalk internet. | ||
tildefilter = {on | off} | The tildefilter keyword allows a tilde filter to be enabled for the interface. A tilde filter protects all devices in the AppleTalk zone configured for this interface's network segment whose names end with a tilde character (~) from NBP lookup by computers in other AppleTalk zones. The effect is that ~ devices in the DefZone will only be visible to Macintoshes on networks with the same zone name across your AppleTalk internet. | ||
stizfilter ={on | off} | The stizfilter keyword allows a stay-in-zone AppleTalk zone filter to be enabled for the interface. Stay-in-zone filtering means the device will not forward NBP lookups which are directed from the AppleTalk zone configured for this interface's network segment to any other zone. The effect is that you will only see devices on other networks with the same zone name across your AppleTalk internet. This filter is applied based on logical AppleTalk zones rather than on physical segments. On nonextended networks (Phase 1), zone filters are applied for the AppleTalk zone configured for the network segment. On extended networks (Phase 2) they are applied to the AppleTalk default zone configured for the network segment. |
The following example shows a typical AppleTalk Configuration for Ethernet interfaces.
[ appletalk phase 2 ethernet 0 ] Mode = Routed Seed = Seed NetLower = 4000 NetUpper = 4100 Node = 100 DefZone = "The 4000 Club" Zone = "Accounting"
The same configuration can be viewed with the show appletalk config command, as follows.
