3Com CoreBuilder 2500 - Displaying Appletalk Interfaces

14-2 CHAPTER 14: ADMINISTERING APPLETALK ROUTING
An AppleTalk interface has several elements associated with it:
■ Seed Interface — You can configure the interface to be a seed
interface or nonseed interface. Seed interfaces initialize the network
with the configuration information that you enter. This information
includes network range, address, zone name, and ports. Nonseed
interfaces wait and listen for a seed interface and then take this
configuration initialization information from the first seed interface
they detect. After the nonseed interface obtains a network
configuration, it can participate in network routing.
■ Network Range — A range of numbers used to designate a network
segment’s identity. This element allows the physical segment between
two CoreBuilder 2500 systems to support a range of multiple
networks.
■ Address — The AARP address based on the network range and the
network node (1 through 253).
■ Zone — The default zone name, and up to 15 additional defined
zones.
■ State — The status of the AppleTalk interface, which indicates
whether the interface is available for communications (
up) or
unavailable (
down).
■ VLAN Index — The number of the AppleTalk VLAN associated with
the AppleTalk interface. The VLAN index indicates the bridge ports
that are associated with the AppleTalk interface. When an
Administration Console menu prompts you for this option, it displays
a list of defined VLAN indexes and their ports.

parameter settings that are configured for the system.
To display the AppleTalk interfaces defined on the router, from the top
level of the Administration Console, enter:
