Cisco IOS AppleTalk Commands


AppleTalk is a LAN system designed and developed by Apple Computer, Inc. It runs over Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI networks, in addition to LocalTalk, Apple's proprietary twisted-pair media access system. AppleTalk specifies a protocol stack comprising several protocols that direct the flow of traffic over the network.

Apple Computer uses the name AppleTalk to refer to the Apple networking architecture. Apple refers to the actual transmission media used in an AppleTalk network as LocalTalk (Apple's proprietary twisted-pair transmission medium for AppleTalk), TokenTalk (AppleTalk over Token Ring), EtherTalk (AppleTalk over Ethernet), and FDDITalk (AppleTalk over FDDI).

Use the commands in this book to configure and monitor AppleTalk networks. For AppleTalk configuration information and examples, see the Cisco IOS AppleTalk Configuration Guide.

Usage Guidelines

The access-list additional-zones command defines the action to take for access checks not explicitly defined with the access-list zone command. If you do not specify this command, the default action is to deny other access.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list additional-zones command to outgoing routing updates and GetZoneList (GZL) filters (using the appletalk distribute-list out, and appletalk getzonelist-filter commands). You cannot apply them to data-packet filters (using the appletalk access-group command) or to incoming routing update filters (using the appletalk distribute-list in command).

Examples

The following example creates an access list based on AppleTalk zones:

access-list 610 deny zone Twilight
access-list 610 permit additional-zones

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

When used as a routing update filter, the access-list cable-range command affects matching on extended networks only. The conditions defined by this access list are used only when a cable range in a routing update exactly matches that specified in the access-list cable-range command. The conditions are never used to match a network number (for a nonextended network).

When used as a data-packet filter, the access-list cable-range command affects matching on any type of network number. The conditions defined by this access list are used only when the packet's source network lies in the range defined by the access list.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list cable-range command to data-packet and routing-update filters (using the appletalk access-group, appletalk distribute-list in, and appletalk distribute-list out commands). You cannot apply them to GZL filters (using the appletalk getzonelist-filter command).

To delete an access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number

To delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} cable-range cable-range

Priority queuing for AppleTalk operates on the destination network number, not the source network number.

Examples

The following access list forwards all packets except those from cable range 10 to 20:

access-list 600 deny cable-range 10-20
access-list 600 permit other-access

Usage Guidelines

When used as a routing update filter, the access-list includes command affects matching on extended and nonextended AppleTalk networks. The conditions defined by this access list are used when a cable range or network number overlaps, either partially or completely, one (or more) of those specified in the access-list includes command.

When used as a data-packet filter, the conditions defined by this access list are used when the packet's source network lies in the range defined in the access-list includes command.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list includes command to data-packet and routing-update filters (using the appletalk access-group, appletalk distribute-list in, and appletalk distribute-list out commands). You cannot apply them to GZL filters (using the appletalk getzonelist-filter command).

To delete an access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number

To delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} includes cable-range

Priority queuing for AppleTalk operates on the destination network number, not the source network number.

Examples

The following example defines an access list that permits access to any network or cable range that overlaps any part of the range 10 to 20. This means, for example, that cable ranges 13 to 16 and 17 to 25 will be permitted. This access list also permits all other ranges.

access-list 600 permit includes 10-20
access-list 600 permit other-access

Usage Guidelines

The access-list nbp command defines the action to take for filtering NBP packets from a particular object (particular named entity), type (class of named entities), or zone (AppleTalk zone in which named entities reside), or for a particular NBP packet type, superseding the default action for NBP packets from all named entities specified by the access-list other-nbps command. For each command that you enter, you must specify a sequence number.

The sequence number serves two purposes:

Its principal purpose is to allow you to associate two or three portions of an NBP three-part name, referred to as an NBP tuple. To do this, you enter two or three commands having the same sequence number but each specifying a different keyword and NBP name portion: object, type, or zone. The same sequence number binds them together. This provides you with the ability to restrict forwarding of NBP packets at any level, down to a single named entity.

Its second purpose is to allow you to keep track of the number of access-list nbp entries you have made. You must enter a sequence number even if you do not use it to associate portions of an NBP name.

Examples

The following example adds entries to access list number 607 to allow forwarding of NBP packets from specific sources and deny forwarding of NBP packets from all other sources. The first command adds an entry that allows NBP packets from all printers of type LaserWriter. The second command adds an entry that allows NBP packets from all AppleTalk file servers of type AFPServer. The third command adds an entry that allows NBP packets from all applications called HotShotPaint. For example, there might be an application with a zone name of Accounting and an application with a zone name of engineering, both having the object name of HotShotPaint. NBP packets forwarded from both applications will be allowed.

The access-list other-nbps command denies forwarding of NBP packets from all other sources.

access-list 607 permit nbp 1 type LaserWriter
access-list 607 permit nbp 2 type AFPServer
access-list 607 permit nbp 3 object HotShotPaint
access-list 607 deny other-nbps
access-list 607 permit other-access

The following example adds entries to access list number 608 to deny forwarding of NBP packets from two specific servers whose fully qualified NBP names are specified. It permits forwarding of NBP packets from all other sources.

access-list 608 deny nbp 1 object ServerA
access-list 608 deny nbp 1 type AFPServer
access-list 608 deny nbp 1 zone Bld3
access-list 608 deny nbp 2 object ServerB
access-list 608 deny nbp 2 type AFPServer
access-list 608 deny nbp 2 zone Bld3
access-list 608 permit other-nbps
access-list 608 permit other-access

The following example denies forwarding of NBP Lookup Reply packets for all named entities. It permits forwarding of other NBP packet types from all other sources.

access-list 600 deny nbp 1 LkReply
access-list 600 permit other-nbps
access-list 600 permit other-access

The following example creates an access list that denies forwarding of these packets:

All NBP Lookup Reply packets

NBP packets from the server named Bob's Server

Packets from all AppleTalk file servers of type AFPServer

All NBP Lookup Reply packets that contain the specified named entities belonging to the zone twilight

access-list 600 deny nbp 1 LkReply
access-list 600 deny nbp 1 object Bob's Server
access-list 600 deny nbp 1 type AFPServer
access-list 600 deny nbp 1 zone twilight

Usage Guidelines

When used as a routing-update filter, the access-list network command affects matching on nonextended networks only. The conditions defined by this access list are used only when the nonextended number in a routing update matches a network number specified in one of the access-list network commands. The conditions are never used to match a cable range (for an extended network) even if the cable range has the same starting and ending number.

When used as a data-packet filter, the conditions defined by this access list are used only when the packet's source network matches the network number specified in the access-list network command.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list network command to data-packet and routing-update filters (using the appletalk access-group, appletalk distribute-list in, and appletalk distribute-list out commands). You cannot apply access lists to GZL filters (using the appletalk getzonelist-filter command).

In software releases before 9.0, the syntax of this command was access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} network. The current version of the software is still able to interpret commands in this format if it finds them in a configuration or boot file. However, it is recommended that you update the commands in your configuration or boot files to match the current syntax.

Use the no access-list command with the access-list-number argument only to remove an entire access list from the configuration. Specify the optional arguments to remove a particular clause.

To delete an access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number

To delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} network network

Priority queuing for AppleTalk operates on the destination network number, not the source network number.

Examples

The following example defines an access list that forwards all packets except those destined for networks 1 and 2:

access-list 650 deny network 1
access-list 650 deny network 2
access-list 650 permit other-access

Any access-list nbp commands you enter affect a particular named entity object, class of named entities, or all named entities within a zone. This command sets the security state for all other NBP named entities. If you do not specify this command, the default action is to deny access.

You can use this command to create an entry in an access list before or after you issue access-list nbp commands. The order of the command in the access list is irrelevant.

Examples

The following example permits forwarding of all NBP packets from all sources except AppleTalk file servers of type AFPServer:

access-list 607 deny nbp 2 type AFPServer
access-list 607 permit other-nbps

Usage Guidelines

When used as a routing update filter, the access-list within command affects matching on extended and nonextended AppleTalk networks. The conditions defined by this access list are used when a cable range or network number overlaps, either partially or completely, one (or more) of those specified in the access-list within command.

When used as a data-packet filter, the conditions defined by this access list are used when the packet's source network lies in the range defined in the access-list within command.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list within command to data-packet and routing-update (using the appletalk access-group, appletalk distribute-list in, and appletalk distribute-list out). You cannot apply them to GZL filters (using the appletalk getzonelist-filter command).

To delete an access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number

To delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} within cable-range

Priority queuing for AppleTalk operates on the destination network number, not the source network number.

Examples

The following example defines an access list that permits access to any network or cable range that is completely included in the range 10 to 20. This means, for example, that cable range 13 to 16 will be permitted, but cable range 17 to 25 will not be. The second line of the access list permits all other packets.

access-list 600 permit within 10-20
access-list 600 permit other-access

Usage Guidelines

You apply access lists defined with the access-list zone command to outgoing routing update and GZL filters (using the appletalk distribute-list out and appletalk getzonelist-filter commands). You cannot apply them to data-packet filters (using the appletalk access-group command) or to incoming routing update filters (using the appletalk distribute-list in command).

To delete an access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number

To delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:

no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} zone zone-name

Use the access-list additional-zones command to define the action to take for access checks not explicitly defined with the access-list zone command.


Note AppleTalk zone access lists on an Enhanced Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (Enhance IGRP) interface will not filter the distribution of Enhanced IGRP routes. When the appletalk distribute-list out command is applied to an Enhanced IGRP interface, any access-list zone commands in the specified access list will be ignored.

Usage Guidelines

The appletalk access-group command applies data-packet filters or NBP-packet filters to an inbound or outbound interface. These filters check data packets being received or sent on an interface. If the source network of the packets has access denied, these packets are not processed and are discarded.

When you apply a data-packet filter to an interface, you should ensure that all networks or cable ranges within a zone are governed by the same filters.

Examples

The following example applies access list 601 to outbound Ethernet interface 0:

access-list 601 deny cable-range 1-10
access-list 601 permit other-access

appletalk arp interval


Note Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, the appletalk arp interval command is not available in Cisco IOS software.

appletalk arp [probe | request] interval interval

no appletalk arp [probe | request] interval interval

Syntax Description

probe

(Optional) Interval to be used with AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) requests that are trying to determine the address of the local router when the Cisco IOS software is being configured. If you omit probe and request, probe is the default.

request

(Optional) Indicates that the interval specified is to be used when AARP is attempting to determine the hardware address of another node so that AARP can deliver a packet.

interval

Interval, in milliseconds, between AARP transmissions. The minimum value is 33 milliseconds. When used with the probe keyword, the default interval is 200 milliseconds. When used with the request keyword, the default interval is 1000 milliseconds.

Usage Guidelines

The time interval you specify takes effect immediately.

Lengthening the interval between AARP transmissions permits responses from devices that respond slowly (such as printers and overloaded file servers) to be received.

AARP uses the appletalk arp probe interval value when obtaining the address of the local router. This is done when the Cisco IOS software is being configured. You should not change the default value of this interval unless absolutely necessary, because this value directly modifies the AppleTalk dynamic node assignment algorithm.

AARP uses the appletalk arp request interval value when attempting to determine the hardware address of another node so that it can deliver a packet. You can change this interval as desired, although the default value is optimal for most sites.

The no appletalk arp interval command restores both the probe and request intervals specified in the appletalk arp interval and appletalk arp retransmit-count commands to their default values.

Examples

The following example lengthens the AppleTalk ARP retry interval to 2000 milliseconds:

appletalk arp request interval 2000

Usage Guidelines

The value you specify takes effect immediately.

Increasing the number of retransmissions permits responses from devices that respond slowly (such as printers and overloaded file servers) to be received.

AARP uses the appletalk arp probe retransmit-count value when obtaining the address of the local router. This is done when the Cisco IOS software is being configured. You should not change the default value unless absolutely necessary, because this value directly modifies the AppleTalk dynamic node assignment algorithm.

AARP uses the appletalk arp request retransmit-count value when attempting to determine the hardware address of another node so that it can deliver a packet. You can change this interval as desired, although the default value is optimal for most sites.

The no appletalk arp interval command restores both the probe and request intervals specified in the appletalk arp interval and appletalk arp retransmit-count commands to their default values.

You might want to disable checksum generation and verification if you have very early devices (such as LaserWriter printers) that cannot receive packets that contain checksums.

The Cisco IOS software does not check checksums on routed packets, thereby eliminating the need to disable checksum to allow operation of some networking applications.

Examples

The following example disables the generation and verification of checksums:

no appletalk checksum

Usage Guidelines

The appletalk client-mode command allows a remote client to use an asynchronous interface to access AppleTalk zones, use networked peripherals, and share files with other Macintosh users.

This command works only on asynchronous interfaces on which Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) encapsulation is enabled. Also, you must first create an internal network for the Macintosh client using the appletalk virtual-net global configuration command.

An interface configured with the appletalk client-mode interface configuration and appletalk virtual-net global configuration commands does not support routing.

Examples

The following example allows a user to access AppleTalk functionality on an asynchronous line using PPP:

interface asynchronous 1

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

If an interface is connected to a network that has at least one other operational AppleTalk router, you can dynamically configure the interface using discovery mode. In discovery mode, an interface acquires network address information about the attached network from an operational router and then uses this information to configure itself.

If you enable discovery mode on an interface, when the Cisco router starts up, that interface must acquire information to configure itself from another operational router on the attached network. If no operational router is present on the connected network, the interface will not start.

If you do not enable discovery mode, the interface must acquire its configuration from memory when the router starts. If the stored configuration is not complete, the interface will not start. If there is another operational router on the connected network, the router will verify the interface's stored configuration with that router. If there is any discrepancy, the interface will not start. If there are no neighboring operational routers, the router will assume the interface's stored configuration is correct and will start.

Once an interface is operational, it can seed the configurations of other routers on the connected network regardless of whether you have enabled discovery mode on any of the routers.

If you enable appletalk discovery and the interface is restarted, another operational router must still be present on the directly connected network in order for the interface to start.

It is not advisable to have all routers on a network configured with discovery mode enabled. If all routers were to restart simultaneously (for instance, after a power failure), the network would become inaccessible until at least one router were restarted with discovery mode disabled.

You can also enable discovery mode by specifying an address of 0.0. in the appletalk address command or a cable range of 0-0 in the appletalk cable-range command.

Discovery mode is useful when you are changing a network configuration, or when you are adding a router to an existing network.

Discovery mode does not run over serial lines.

Use the no appletalk discovery command to disable discovery mode. If the interface is not operational when you issue this command (that is, if you have not issued an access-list zone command on the interface), you must configure the zone name next. If the interface is operational when you issue the no appletalk discovery command, you can save the current configuration (in running memory) in nonvolatile memory by issuing the copy running-config startup-config command. (The copy running-config startup-config command replaces the write memory command. Refer to the description of the copy running-config startup-config command for more information.)

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

The appletalk distribute-list in command controls which networks and cable ranges in routing updates will be entered into the local routing table.

Filters for incoming routing updates use access lists that define conditions for networks and cable ranges only. They cannot use access lists that define conditions for zones. All zone information in an access list assigned to the interface with the appletalk distribute-list in command is ignored.

An input distribution list filters network numbers received in an incoming routing update. When AppleTalk routing updates are received on the specified interface, each network number and cable range in the update is checked against the access list. Only network numbers and cable ranges that are permitted by the access list are inserted into the Cisco IOS software AppleTalk routing table.

Examples

The following example prevents the router from accepting routing table updates received from network 10 and on Ethernet interface 3:

access-list 601 deny network 10
access-list 601 permit other-access
interface ethernet 3
 appletalk distribute-list 601 in

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

The appletalk distribute-list out command controls which network numbers and cable ranges are included in routing updates and which zones the local router includes in its GetZoneList (GZL) replies.

When an AppleTalk routing update is generated on the specified interface, each network number and cable range in the routing table is checked against the access list. If an undefined access list is used, all network numbers and cable ranges are added to the routing update. Otherwise, if an access list is defined, only network numbers and cable ranges that satisfy the following conditions are added to the routing update:

The network number or cable range is not explicitly or implicitly denied.

The network number or cable range is not a member of a zone that is explicitly or implicitly denied.

If appletalk permit-partial-zones is disabled (the default), the network number or cable range is not a member of a zone that is partially obscured.

A zone is considered partially obscured when one or more network numbers or cable ranges that are members of the zone is explicitly or implicitly denied.

When a Zone Information Protocol (ZIP) GZL reply is generated, only zones that satisfy the following conditions are included:

If appletalk permit-partial-zones is enabled, at least one network number or cable range that is a member of the zone is explicitly or implicitly permitted.

If appletalk permit-partial-zones is disabled, all network numbers or cable ranges are explicitly or implicitly permitted.

The zone is explicitly or implicitly permitted.


Note AppleTalk zone access lists on an Enhanced IGRP interface will not filter the distribution of Enhanced IGRP routes. When the appletalk distribute-list out command is applied to an Enhanced IGRP interface, any access-list zone commands in the specified access list will be ignored.


Examples

The following example prevents routing updates sent on Ethernet 0 from mentioning any networks in zone Admin:

access-list 601 deny zone Admin
access-list 601 permit other-access
interface Ethernet 0
 appletalk distribute-list 601 out

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

Before you can specify the appletalk domain hop-reduction global configuration command, you must have created a domain with that domain number using the appletalk domain name global configuration command.

DDP and Routing Table Maintenance Protocol (RTMP) both impose a 15-hop limit when forwarding packets. A packet ages out and is no longer forwarded when its hop count reaches 16. To overcome RTMP's 15-hop limit, the domain router represents all networks accessible to routers on its local network as one hop away. This allows routers to maintain and send routing information about networks beyond the 15-hop limit and achieve full connectivity.

When you enable hop-count reduction, delivery of packets from networks that are farther than
15 hops apart is guaranteed.

When you enable hop-count reduction, the hop count in a packet is set to 1 as it passes from one domain to another. For example, if the hop count was 8 when the packet left one domain, its hop count is 1 when it enters the next segment of the domain.

Examples

The following example enables hop-count reduction for domain number 1:

appletalk domain 1 name Delta
appletalk domain 1 hop-reduction

in

Specifies that the remapping is performed on inbound packets (that is, on packets arriving into the local interenterprise network). All network numbers or cable ranges coming from the domain are remapped into the specified range.

out

Specifies that the remapping is performed on outbound packets (that is, on packets exiting from the local interenterprise network). All network numbers or cable ranges going to the domain are remapped into the specified range.

cable-range

Specifies the start and end of the cable range, separated by a hyphen. The starting network must be the first AppleTalk network number or the beginning of the cable range to remap. The number must be immediately followed by a hyphen. The ending network must be the last AppleTalk network number or the end of the cable range to remap.

Usage Guidelines

Before you can specify the appletalk domain remap-range command, you must create a domain with that domain number using the appletalk domain name global configuration command.

Inbound and outbound packets are relative to the domain router.

Ensure that the domain range you specify does not overlap any network addresses or cable ranges that already exist in the AppleTalk interenterprise network.

Each domain can have two domain mapping ranges to which to remap all incoming or outgoing network numbers or cable ranges. Incoming remapping ranges cannot overlap. However, outbound remapping ranges can overlap.

When an AppleTalk network in a domain becomes inactive, its remapped entry is removed from the remapping table. This frees the space for another network to be remapped.

If there are more remote domains than available remapping range numbers, the Cisco IOS software displays an error message and shuts down domains.

Examples

The following example remaps all network addresses and cable ranges for packets inbound from domain 1 into the address range 1000 to 1999. It also remaps packets inbound from domain 2.

appletalk domain 1 name Delta
appletalk domain 2 name Echo

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

If you enable split horizon on an interface, AppleTalk Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) update and query packets are not sent if this interface is the next hop to that destination. This reduces the number of Enhanced IGRP packets of the network.

Split horizon blocks information about routes from being advertised by a router out any interface from which that information originated. This behavior usually optimizes communication among multiple routers, particularly when links are broken. However, with nonbroadcast networks, such as Frame Relay and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), situations can arise for which this behavior is less than ideal. For these situations, you may wish to disable split horizon.

Examples

The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:

interface serial 0

appletalk eigrp-timers


Note Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, the appletalk eigrp-timers command is not available in Cisco IOS software.


To configure the AppleTalk Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) hello packet interval and the route hold time, use the appletalk eigrp-timers command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default values for these timers, use the no form of this command.

appletalk eigrp-timers hello-interval hold-time

no appletalk eigrp-timers hello-interval hold-time

Syntax Description

hello-interval

Interval between hello packets, in seconds. The default interval is 5 seconds. It can be a maximum of 30 seconds.

hold-time

Hold time, in seconds. The hold time is advertised in hello packets and indicates to neighbors the length of time they should consider the sender valid. The hold time can be in the range 15 to 90 seconds.


Defaults

hello-interval argument:
For low-speed NBMA networks: 60 seconds
For all other networks: 5 seconds

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

If the current value for the hold time is less than two times the hello interval, the hold time is reset to three times the hello interval.

If the Cisco IOS software does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through this device are considered available.

Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.


Note Do not adjust the hold time without advising technical support.


The default of 180 seconds for the hold-time argument applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command.

The default of 60 seconds for the hello-interval argument applies only to low-speed NBMA media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command. Note that for purposes of Enhanced IGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting; otherwise they are considered not to be NBMA.

Usage Guidelines

A free-trade zone is a part of an AppleTalk internetwork that is accessible by two other parts of the internetwork, neither of which can access the other. You might want to create a free-trade zone to allow the exchange of information between two organizations that otherwise want to keep their internetworks isolated from each other or that do not have physical connectivity with one another.

You apply the appletalk free-trade-zone command to each interface attached to the common-access network. This command has the following effect on the interface:

All incoming RTMP updates are ignored.

All outgoing RTMP updates contain no information.

NBP conversion of BrRq packets to FwdReq packets is not performed.

The GZL for free-trade zone nodes will be empty.

Examples

The following example establishes a free-trade zone on Ethernet interface 0:

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

GZL filters define conditions for zones only. They cannot use access lists that define conditions for network numbers or cable ranges. All network number and cable range information in the access list assigned to an interface with the appletalk getzonelist-filter command is ignored.

Using a GZL filter is not a complete replacement for anonymous network numbers. In order to prevent users from seeing a zone, all routers must implement the GZL filter. If there are any routers from other vendors on the network, the GZL filter will not have a consistent effect.

The Macintosh Chooser uses ZIP GZL requests to compile a list of zones from which the user can select services. Any router on the same network as the Macintosh can respond to these requests with a GZL reply. You can create a GZL filter on the router to control which zones the router mentions in its GZL replies. This has the effect of controlling the list of zones that are displayed by the Chooser.

When defining GZL filters, you should ensure that all routers on the same network filter GZL reply identically. Otherwise, the Chooser will list different zones depending upon which router responded to the request. Also, inconsistent filters can result in zones appearing and disappearing every few seconds when the user remains in the Chooser. Because of these inconsistencies, you should normally use the appletalk getzonelist-filter command only when all routers in the internetwork are our routers, unless the routers from other vendors have a similar feature.

Replies to GZL requests are also filtered by any appletalk distribute-list out filter that has been applied to the same interface. You must specify an appletalk getzonelist-filter command only if you want additional filtering to be applied to GZL replies. This filter is rarely needed except to eliminate zones that do not contain user services.

Examples

The following example does not include the zone Engineering in GZL replies sent out Ethernet interface 0:

access-list 600 deny zone Engineering
interface ethernet 0
 appletalk getzonelist-filter 600

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco IOS software automatically derives AARP table entries from incoming packets. This process, referred to as gleaning, speeds up the process of populating the AARP table.

Our implementation of AppleTalk does not forward packets with local source and destination network addresses. This behavior does not conform with the definition of AppleTalk in Apple Computer's Inside AppleTalk publication. However, this behavior is designed to prevent any possible corruption of the AARP table in any AppleTalk node that is performing MAC-address gleaning.

Examples

The following example disables the building of the AARP table using information derived from incoming packets:

interface ethernet 0
 appletalk address 33
 no appletalk glean-packets

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

Use the appletalk iptalk command to enable IPTalk encapsulation on a tunnel interface. This command encapsulates AppleTalk in IP packets in a manner compatible with the Columbia AppleTalk Package (CAP) IPTalk and the Kinetics IPTalk implementations. IPTalk is configured on a tunnel interface.

This command allows AppleTalk communication with UNIX hosts running older versions of CAP that do not support native AppleTalk EtherTalk encapsulations. Typically, Apple Macintosh users wishing to communicate with these servers would have their connections routed through a Kinetics FastPath router running Kinetics IPTalk software.

This command is provided as a migration command; newer versions of CAP provide native AppleTalk EtherTalk encapsulations, and the IPTalk encapsulation is no longer required. Our implementation of IPTalk assumes that AppleTalk is already being routed on the backbone; there is currently no LocalTalk hardware interface for our routers.

Our implementation of IPTalk does not support manually configured AppleTalk-to-IP address mapping (atab). The address mapping provided is the same as the Kinetics IPTalk implementation when the atab facility is not enabled. This address mapping functions as follows: The IP subnet mask used on the Ethernet interface on which IPTalk is enabled is inverted (ones complement). This result is then masked against 255 (0xFF hexadecimal). This is then masked against the low-order 8 bits of the IP address to obtain the AppleTalk node number.

Examples

The following example configuration illustrates how to configure IPTalk:

interface Ethernet0
 ip address 172.31.255.118 255.255.255.0
 interface Tunnel0
 tunnel source Ethernet0
 tunnel mode iptalk
 appletalk iptalk 30 UDPZone

In this configuration, the IP subnet mask would be inverted:

255.255.255.0 inverted yields: 0.0.0.255

Masked with 255 it yields 255, and masked with the low-order 8 bits of the interface IP address it yields 118.

This means that the AppleTalk address of the Ethernet 0 interface seen in the UDPZone zone is 30.118. This caveat should be noted, however: Should the host field of an IP subnet mask for an interface be more than 8 bits wide, it will be possible to obtain conflicting AppleTalk node numbers. For instance, consider a situation where the subnet mask for the Ethernet 0 interface above is 255.255.240.0, meaning that the host field is 12 bits wide.

Usage Guidelines

Implementations of IPTalk prior to April 1988 mapped well-known DDP socket numbers to privileged UDP ports starting at port number 768. In April 1988, the Network Information Center (NIC) assigned a range of UDP ports for the defined DDP well-known sockets starting at UDP port number 200 and assigned these ports the names at-nbp, at-rtmp, at-echo, and at-zis. Release 6 and later of the CAP program dynamically decides which port mapping to use. If there are no AppleTalk service entries in the UNIX system's /etc/services file, CAP uses the older mapping starting at UDP port number 768.

The default UDP port mapping supported by our implementation of IPTalk is 768. If there are AppleTalk service entries in the UNIX system's /etc/services file, you should specify the beginning of the UDP port mapping range with the appletalk iptalk-baseport command.

Examples

The following example sets the base UDP port number to 200, which is the official NIC port number, and configures IPTalk on Ethernet interface 0:

appletalk routing
appletalk iptalk-baseport 200
!
interface Ethernet 0

Usage Guidelines

You can issue multiple appletalk lookup-type commands. The Cisco IOS software does not query the entire zone, but instead polls only the connected networks. This reduces network overhead and means that the name cache contains entries only for selected services that are in a directly connected network or zone, not for all the selected services in a network or zone.

Table 8 lists some AppleTalk service types.

Workstation

Macintosh running System 7. The machine type also is defined, so it is possible to easily identify all user nodes.

1 Type all service names exactly as shown. Spaces are valid. Do not use leading or trailing spaces when entering service names.


If you omit the service-type argument from the no appletalk lookup-type command, no service types except those relating to our devices are cached.

To display information that is stored in the name cache about the services being used by our routers and other vendors' routers, use the show appletalk name-cache command.

If a neighboring router is not our device or is running our software that is earlier than Release 9.0, it is possible our device will be unable to determine the name of the neighbor. This is normal behavior, and there is no workaround.

If AppleTalk routing is enabled, enabling Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) will automatically enable SNMP over DDP.

Name cache entries are deleted after several interval periods expire without being refreshed. (You set the interval with the appletalk name-lookup-interval command.) At each interval, a single request is sent via each interface that has valid addresses.

Examples

The following example caches information about GatorBox services, Apple internetwork routers, MacIP services, and workstations. Information about our devices is automatically cached.

You can configure multiple MacIP servers for a router, but you can assign only one MacIP server to a particular zone and only one IP interface to each MacIP server. In general, you must be able to establish an alias between the IP address you assign with the appletalk macip server command and an existing IP interface. For implementation simplicity, it is suggested that the address specified in this command match an existing IP interface address.

To shut down all active MacIP servers, use the following command:

Usage Guidelines

Use the appletalk macip static command when configuring MacIP.

Static addresses are for users who require fixed addresses for IP name domain name service and for administrators who do want addresses to change so they can always know who has what IP address.

In general, it is recommended that you do not use fragmented address ranges in configuring ranges for MacIP. However, if this is unavoidable, use the appletalk macip dynamic command to specify as many addresses or ranges as required, and then use the appletalk macip static command to assign a specific address or address range.

To shut down all running MacIP services, use the following command:

no appletalk macip

To delete a particular static address assignment from the configuration, use the following command:

no appletalk macip static ip-address [ip-address] zone server-zone

Examples

The following example illustrates MacIP support for MacIP clients with statically allocated IP addresses. The IP addresses range is from 172.31.1.50 to 172.31.1.66. The three nodes that have the specific addresses are 172.31.1.81, 172.31.1.92, and 172.31.1.101.

! This global statement specifies the MacIP server address and zone:

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

Use the appletalk maximum-paths command when configuring AppleTalk load balancing.

The appletalk maximum-paths command increases throughput by allowing the software to choose among several equal-cost, parallel paths. (Note that when paths have differing costs, the software chooses lower-cost routes in preference to higher-cost routes.)

When the value of paths is greater than 1, packets are distributed over the multiple equal-cost paths in round-robin fashion on a packet-by-packet basis.

Examples

The following example defines four equal-cost paths:

! Sets the maximum number of equal-cost paths to 4.
appletalk maximum-paths 4

The following example restores the default value:

! Restores the default value.
no appletalk maximum-paths 4

appletalk name-lookup-interval


Note Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, the appletalk name-lookup-interval command is not available in Cisco IOS software.


To set the interval between service pollings by the router on its AppleTalk interfaces, use the appletalk name-lookup-interval command in global configuration mode. To purge the name cache and return to the default polling interval, use the no form of this command.

appletalk name-lookup-interval seconds

no appletalk name-lookup-interval [seconds]

Syntax Description

seconds

Interval, in seconds, between NBP lookup pollings. This can be any positive integer; there is no upper limit. It is recommended that you use an interval between 300 seconds (5 minutes) and 1200 seconds (20 minutes). The smaller the interval, the more packets are generated to handle the names. Specifying an interval of 0 purges all entries from the name cache and disables the caching of service type information that is controlled by the appletalk lookup-type command, including the caching of information about our routers.


Defaults

The default is 0, which purges all entries from the name cache and disables the caching of service type information.

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

The appletalk proxy-nbp command provides compatibility between AppleTalk Phase 1 and AppleTalk Phase 2 networks.

Proxy routes are included in outgoing RTMP updates as if they were directly connected routes, although they are not really directly connected, since they are not associated with any interface. Whenever an NBQ BrRq for the zone in question is generated by anyone anywhere in the internetwork, an NBP FwdReq is directed to any router connected to the proxy route. The Phase 2 router, which is the only router directly connected, converts the FwdReq to LkUps, which are understood by Phase 1 routers, and sends them to every network in the zone.

In an environment in which there are Phase 1 and Phase 2 networks, you must specify at least one appletalk proxy-nbp command for each zone that has a nonextended-only AppleTalk router.

The proxy network number you assign with the appletalk proxy-nbp command cannot also be assigned to a router, nor can it also be associated with a physical network.

You must assign only one proxy network number for each zone. However, you can define additional proxies with different network numbers to provide redundancy. Each proxy generates one or more packets for each forward request it receives. All other packets sent to the proxy network address are discarded. Defining redundant proxy network numbers increases the NBP traffic linearly.

Examples

The following example defines network number 60 as an NBP proxy for the zone Twilight:

appletalk proxy-nbp 60 Twilight

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

The appletalk require-route-zones command ensures that all networks have zone names prior to advertisement to neighbors.

The no appletalk require-route-zones command enables behavior compatible with Cisco IOS Release 8.3.

Using this command helps prevent ZIP protocol storms. ZIP protocol storms can arise when corrupt routes are propagated and routers broadcast ZIP requests to determine the network/zone associations.

When the appletalk require-route-zones command is enabled, the Cisco IOS software will not advertise a route to its neighboring routers until it has obtained the network-zone associations. This effectively limits the storms to a single network rather than the entire internet.

As an alternative to disabling this option, use the appletalk getzonelist-filter interface configuration command to filter empty zones from the list presented to users.

You can configure different zone lists on different interfaces. However, you are discouraged from doing this because AppleTalk users expect to have the same user zone lists at any end node in the internet.

The filtering provided by the appletalk require-route-zones command does not prevent explicit access via programmatic methods, but should be considered a user optimization to suppress unused zones. You should use other forms of AppleTalk access control lists to actually secure a zone or network.

Examples

The following example configures a router to prevent the advertisement of routes that have no assigned zone:

Usage Guidelines

Fast switching allows higher throughput by switching a packet using a cache created by previous packets. Fast-switching is enabled by default on all interfaces that support fast switching, including Token Ring, Frame Relay, PPP, High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), SMDS, and ATM. Note that fast switching is not supported over X.25 and Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB), encapsulations, or on the CSC-R16, CSC-1R, or CSC-2R STR Token Ring adapters.

Packet transfer performance is generally better when fast switching is enabled. However, you may want to disable fast switching in order to save memory space on interface cards and to help avoid congestion when high-bandwidth interfaces are writing large amounts of information to low-bandwidth interfaces.

Fast switching of extended AppleTalk is supported on serial lines with several encapsulation types (for example, SMDS and HDLC). Fast switching of nonextended AppleTalk is not supported on serial lines.

The following example disables fast switching on an interface:

interface ethernet 0

15.0(1)M

Usage Guidelines

Redistribution allows routing information generated by one protocol to be advertised in another.

In the automatic redistribution of routes between Enhanced IGRP and RTMP, an RTMP hop is treated as having a slightly worse metric than an equivalent Enhanced IGRP hop on a 9.6-kbps link. This allows Enhanced IGRP to be preferred over RTMP except in the most extreme of circumstances. Typically, you will see this only when using tunnels. If you want an Enhanced IGRP path in a tunnel to be preferred over an alternate RTMP path, you should set the interface delay and bandwidth parameters on the tunnel to bring the metric of the tunnel down to being better than a 9.6-kbps link.

Examples

In the following example, RTMP routing information is not redistributed:

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

This command enables routers running RTMP to reduce the amount of CPU processing that RTMP modules use. RTMP modules send "stub" packets instead of full RTMP packets when you enable stub mode.

A stub packet is only the first tuple of an RTMP packet. The first tuple indicates the network number range assigned to that network. End nodes use stub packets to determine if their node number is in the right network range.

Upon startup, an end node on an extended network uses stub packets to verify that its previous node number is still within the segment's network number range. If it is, the end node reuses the previous node number and stores the network number range information. If an end node learns upon startup that its previous node number does not fall within the segment's new network number range, the end node picks a new node number based on the new network number range and stores the new network number range information.

After startup, end nodes use subsequent stub packets to verify that the network number range sent in the stub packets precisely matches its stored network number range. In this way, stub packets keep end nodes alive.

When routers that have stub mode enabled receive full RTMP packets, they discard these packets. Discarding full RTMP packets when stub mode is enabled saves the overhead processing of RTMP routes.

You can also use stub mode on "end" networks. End networks are those to which no other routers attach. Because no other routers are listening for routes on these end segments, there is no need for the end router to send full RTMP packets to these end segments. The end router can send stub packets to keep end nodes alive.

Examples

The following example turns on AppleTalk RTMP stub mode:

appletalk rtmp-stub

Usage Guidelines

You cannot delete a particular zone from the zone list without first deleting the static route.

When links associated with static routes are lost, traffic may stop being forwarded even though alternative paths might be available. For this reason, you should be careful when assigning static routes.

Floating static routes are a kind of static route that can be overridden by dynamically learned routes. Floating static routes allow you to switch to another path whenever routing information for a destination is lost. One application of floating static routes is to provide back-up routes in topologies where dial-on-demand routing is used.

If you configure a floating static route, the Cisco IOS software checks to see if an entry for the route already exists in its routing table. If a dynamic route already exists, the floating static route is placed in reserve as part of a floating static route table. When the software detects that the dynamic route is no longer available, it replaces the dynamic route with the floating static route for that destination. If the route is later relearned dynamically, the dynamic route replaces the floating static route and the floating static route is again placed in reserve.

To avoid the possibility of a routing loop occurring, by default floating static routes are not redistributed into other dynamic protocols.

Examples

The following example creates a static route to the remote router whose address is 1.2 on the remote network 100-110 that is in the remote zone Remote:

appletalk static cable-range 100-110 to 1.2 zone Remote

The following example creates a floating static route to the remote router whose address is 1.3 on the remote network 100-110 that is in the remote zone Remote:

appletalk static cable-range 100-110 to 1.3 floating zone Remote

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

Routes older than the time specified by the update-interval argument are considered suspect. Once the period of time specified by the valid-interval argument has elapsed without having heard a routing update for a route, the route becomes bad and is eligible for replacement by a path with a higher (less favorable) metric. During the period for the invalid-interval argument, routing updates include this route with a special "notify neighbor" metric. If this timer expires, the route is deleted from the routing table.

Note that you should not attempt to modify the routing timers without fully understanding the ramifications of doing so. Many other AppleTalk router vendors provide no facility for modifying their routing timers; should you adjust the Cisco IOS software AppleTalk timers such that routing updates do not arrive at these other routers within the normal interval, it is possible to degrade or destroy AppleTalk network connectivity.

If you change the routing update interval, be sure to do so for all routers on the network.

In rare instances, you might want to change this interval, such as when a device is busy and cannot send routing updates every 10 seconds or when slower routers are incapable of processing received routing updates in a large network.

Examples

The following example increases the update interval to 20 seconds and the route-valid interval to 40 seconds:

appletalk timers 20 40 60

15.0(1)M

This command was removed.


Usage Guidelines

A virtual network is a logical network that exists only within the Cisco IOS software. It enables you—and by extension anyone who dials into the router—to add an asynchronous interface to either a new or an existing AppleTalk zone.

Virtual networks work with both extended and nonextended AppleTalk networks. On Cisco routers, you can only set a virtual network on an asynchronous line on the auxiliary port.

If you issue the appletalk virtual-net command and specify a new AppleTalk zone name, the network number you specify is the only one associated with this zone. If you issue this command and specify an existing AppleTalk zone, the network number you specify is added to the existing zone.

The selected AppleTalk zone (either new or existing) is highlighted when you open the Macintosh Chooser window. From this window, you can access all available zones.

Examples

The following example adds a user to the virtual network number 3 and specifies the zone name renegade:

apple virtual-net 3 renegade

Usage Guidelines

ZIP reply filters limit the visibility of zones from routers in unprivileged regions throughout the internetwork. These filters filter the zone list for each network provided by a router to neighboring routers to remove restricted zones.

ZIP reply filters apply to downstream routers, not to end stations on networks attached to the local router. With ZIP reply filters, when downstream routers request the names of zones in a network, the local router replies with the names of visible zones only. It does not reply with the names of zones that have been hidden with a ZIP reply filter. To filter zones from end stations, use GZL filters.

ZIP reply filters determine which networks and cable ranges the Cisco IOS software sends out in routing updates. Before sending out routing updates, the software excludes the networks and cable ranges whose zones have been completely denied access by ZIP reply filters. Excluding this information ensures that routers receiving these routing updates do not send unnecessary ZIP requests.

Examples

The following example assigns a ZIP reply filter to Ethernet interface 0:

interface ethernet 0
 appletalk zip-reply-filter 600

Usage Guidelines

If discovery mode is not enabled, you can specify the appletalk zone command only after an appletalk address or appletalk cable-range command. You can issue it multiple times if it follows the appletalk cable-range command.

On interfaces that have discovery mode disabled, you must assign a zone name in order for AppleTalk routing to begin.

If an interface is using extended AppleTalk, the first zone specified in the list is the default zone. The Cisco IOS software always uses the default zone when registering NBP names for interfaces. Nodes in the network will select the zone in which they will operate from the list of zone names valid on the cable to which they are connected.

If an interface is using nonextended AppleTalk, repeated execution of the appletalk zone command will replace the interface's zone name with the newly specified zone name.

The no form of the command deletes a zone name from a zone list or deletes the entire zone list if you do not specify a zone name. For nonextended AppleTalk interfaces, the zone name argument is ignored. You should delete any existing zone-name list using the no appletalk zone interface subcommand before configuring a new zone list.

The zone list is cleared automatically when you issue an appletalk address or appletalk cable-range command. The list also is cleared if you issue the appletalk zone command on an existing network; this can occur when adding zones to a set of routers until all routers are in agreement.

Examples

The following example assigns the zone name Twilight to an interface:

interface Ethernet 0
 appletalk cable-range 10-20
 appletalk zone Twilight

The following example uses AppleTalk special characters to set the zone name to Cisco:A5Zone:

appletalk zone Cisco:A5Zone
