- Greetings once again,
-
- Many thanks to all that helped out in clarifying how access lists work
- on the cisco.
-
- This time I'm back looking for some advice on doing AppleTalk routing.
- Our 20-odd nets are currently bridging non-IP traffic (e.g. AppleTalk
- and IPX). We have an AppleTalk router on each ethernet that does
- traffic isolation and Zone creation. (I hope the terminology I'm
- using makes sense; I'm not a very in-the-know AppleTalk person...)
-
- What we'd like to do is have the cisco route AppleTalk traffic.
- The sample configuration in the cisco manual seems straightforward:
-
- appletalk routing
- [for interface in 0-23]
- interface ether $interface
- appletalk cable-range 0-0
-
- We would like the cisco to auto-discover everything, so we're using "0-0"
- as the cable range. Unfortunately while we are playing around with the
- AppleTalk routing, the entire campus AppleTalk network is down. For
- this reason (!) I'd like to be sure, with y'all's help, that we know
- what we're doing...
-
- A "show apple inter" shows a message along the lines of:
-
- Ethernet 1 is up; line protocol is up
- AppleTalk routing is disabled, Unknown status
- AppleTalk Cable Range is 0-0
-
- In auto-discovery mode the cisco seemed not to see any AppleTalk traffic.
- We also put in an explicit cable range and zone name on a couple of
- interfaces as a test, but this didn't help.
-
- Are we missing something obvious here?
-
- Thanks again in advance for your help!
- Craig
