Configuring AppleTalk
December 2000 24 - 17
To configure the physical interface (e8) to which all outgoing traffic is forwarded, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config-vlan-atalk-proto)# int e8
BigIron(config-if-8)# appletalk cable-range 400 - 400
BigIron(config-if-8)# appletalk address 400.50
BigIron(config-if-8)# appletalk zone-name sales
BigIron(config-if-8)# appletalk routing
To configure the defined AppleTalk VLAN virtual interfaces ve3 and ve5, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config-if-8)# int ve 5
BigIron(config-vif-5)# appletalk cable-range 100 - 100
BigIron(config-vif-5)# appletalk address 100.50
BigIron(config-vif-5)# appletalk zone-name finance
BigIron(config-vif-5)# appletalk routing
BigIron(config-vif-5)# int ve 3
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk cable-range 200 - 200
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk address 200.50
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk zone-name marketing
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk routing
BigIron(config-vif-3)# end
BigIron# write memory
Modifying AppleTalk Global Parameters
You can modify the following AppleTalk parameters at the global level:
• AppleTalk ARP age
• AppleTalk ARP retransmission count
• AppleTalk ARP retransmission interval
• AppleTalk glean packets
• AppleTalk QoS socket (assigns a higher priority)
• AppleTalk RTMP update interval
• AppleTalk ZIP query interval
The following sections describe these parameters and show how to change them.
AppleTalk ARP Age
To change the AppleTalk ARP age in software release 06.0.00, use one of the following methods.
USING THE CLI
To change the AppleTalk ARP age, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron(config)# appletalk arp 30
BigIron(config)# write memory
Syntax: [no] appletalk arp-age <num>
The <num> parameter specifies the number of minutes for the ARP age and can be from 1 – 240. The default is
10.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You can change the AppleTalk ARP age using the Web management interface, but the interface still allows you to
enter the ARP age value only on an individual port basis. However, 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.
