Chapter 4 - AppleTalk Routing & Bridging 77

> AppleTalk On/Bridging/Off

This set of radio buttons controls how AppleTalk packets are handled for this

interface.

• If set to AppleTalk On, then AppleTalk packets received on this inter-

face are routed to the correct interface on the router.

• If set to AppleTalk Bridging, then any AppleTalk packets received on

this interface are forwarded to the router’s internal bridge. This setting

makes this Ethernet interface a member of the “AppleTalk Phase 2

Bridge Group” for this router.

v Note: The AppleTalk Bridging radio button will be grayed out unless

bridging has been turned on globally for the device using the Main Bridging

Configuration Dialog Box (under Global/Bridging) and locally on this inter-

face using the Bridging: WAN Dialog Box (under WAN/Bridging).

• If it is set to AppleTalk Off, then any AppleTalk packets received on this

interface are discarded.

> Numbered Interface

This check box determines whether the Wide Area Network connected to this

interface will have an AppleTalk network number associated with it.

Many WAN 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.

• If checked, then you must set an AppleTalk Network Number and Zone

(as described below) for this WAN interface. The default is unchecked.

Network Number

If you have set this interface to be a numbered interface, you must provide a

network number to identify the WAN link. This number creates a

“non-extended” AppleTalk network on the WAN link. Acceptable values

vary from 1 to 65,279.

v Note: Accidental selection of an AppleTalk network number 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 they are used.
