The following commands add four AppleTalk cable VLANs, in groups of three commands each. The appletalk-
cable-vlan command adds a cable VLAN and, with the optional name parameter, names the VLAN. The static
command adds specific ports within the port-based VLAN to the AppleTalk cable VLAN. The router-interface
command identifies virtual interface that connects to the AppleTalk cable range the VLAN is for.
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# appletalk-cable-vlan 1 name cable-one
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# static ethe 2/1 to 2/2 ethe 3/1 to 3/2
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# router-interface ve 1
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# appletalk-cable-vlan 2 name cable-two
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# static ethe 3/3 to 3/4
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# router-interface ve 2
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# appletalk-cable-vlan 3 name cable-three
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# static ethe 3/5 to 3/6
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# router-interface ve 3
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# appletalk-cable-vlan 4 name cable-four
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# static ethe 3/7 to 3/8
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# router-interface ve 4
Syntax: appletalk-cable-vlan <vlan-id> [name <string>]
The <vlan-id> can be from 1 – 8.
The name <string> parameter specifies a name and can be a string up to 32 characters long.
Configuring the Router Interfaces
The following commands configure the router interfaces (virtual interfaces) associated with the AppleTalk cable
VLANs. The interface ve commands add the virtual interfaces to the system. (The router-interface commands
above refer to these interfaces but do not add them. You must add the interfaces using the interface ve
command.)
For each virtual interface, additional commands configure the AppleTalk routing parameters for the interface.
Notice that each virtual interface has a separate set of routing parameters. The routing parameters on each
virtual interface are independent of the routing parameters on other virtual interfaces. Since each AppleTalk cable
VLAN is associated with a separate virtual interface, each AppleTalk cable VLAN has a distinct set of routing
parameters, separate from the routing parameters on other AppleTalk VLANs. In effect, each virtual interface
contains a separate AppleTalk router.
The appletalk address command configures the AppleTalk interface address on the virtual interface. The
appletalk cable-range command specifies the cable range for the network. The appletalk routing command
enables AppleTalk routing on the virtual interface. The zone-name commands add zones to the network. For
information about the AppleTalk routing commands, see the “Configuring AppleTalk” on page 24-1.
The write memory command at the end of the example saves the configuration to the startup-config file.
BigIron(config-vlan-10)# interface ve 1
BigIron(config-vif-1)# appletalk cable-range 10 - 19
BigIron(config-vif-1)# appletalk address 10.1
BigIron(config-vif-1)# appletalk zone-name AA
BigIron(config-vif-1)# appletalk routing
BigIron(config-vif-1)# interface ve 2
BigIron(config-vif-2)# appletalk cable-range 20 - 29
BigIron(config-vif-2)# appletalk address 20.1
BigIron(config-vif-2)# appletalk zone-name BB
BigIron(config-vif-2)# appletalk routing
BigIron(config-vif-2)# interface ve 3
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk cable-range 30 - 39
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk address 30.1
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk zone-name CC
BigIron(config-vif-3)# appletalk routing
BigIron(config-vif-3)# interface ve 4
BigIron(config-vif-4)# appletalk cable-range 40 - 49
BigIron(config-vif-4)# appletalk address 40.1
