- When you set a GatorBox up to be a transition router, you must give
- different network numbers to the Phase 1 and Phase 2 networks (since
- they are different networks, after all) and your Phase 2 network range
- must be a single number (such as 2-2, since split horizon info cannot
- be propigated down a Phase 1 network.
-
- Otherwise, you follow the same rules as you ordinarily would while
- setting up an AppleTalk network. Network numbers must be unique, zone
- names don't have to be. All routers sharing a network must agree on
- the network numbers and the zone names.
-
- Often people setting up Phase 2 for the first time think (erroneously)
- that they need to put all zone names into the EtherTalk zone list in order
- for them to be seen by Macs on the Ethernet. This is not the case.
- You need one zone name on an EtherTalk Phase 2 net, but can have more.

- As always, questions can be directed to support@cayman.com or to me
- directly at glen@cayman.com.
