Flushing All

Cache Entries

To ﬂush all AARP cache entries, from the top level of the Administration

Console, enter:

appletalk aarp flush

All addresses are removed from the AARP cache.

Displaying the

Zone Table

By logically grouping AppleTalk nodes into zones, you can more easily

navigate through the network. You group nodes using the Zone

Information Protocol (ZIP). ZIP helps routers maintain a mapping of

network numbers to zones in the entire network. To do this, ZIP creates

and maintains a Zone Information Table (ZIT) in each router. The entries in

this table match the network numbers with the zone names.

In the Administration Console, you can display the zone table either by

network numbers or by zones.

To display the zone table, from the top level of the Administration

Console, enter:

appletalk zone network

appletalk zone zone

Depending on the command that you enter, the table displays

information by network or by zone. The following examples show both

types of zone display:
