show appletalk route
The
show appletalk route
command provides a summary of all known
routes and the protocol that distributed them. In addition, the primary zone
of each network is displayed. Recall that a network can contain up to 255
zones in AppleTalk phase two. Although the example here displays the zone
names "one" and "Two," most administrators will name zones for the
workgroup served--"Marketing Zone," for example. Note that zone names
are also case-sensitive.
Router_C#
show appletalk route
Codes: R - RTMP derived, E - EIGRP derived, C - connected,
A AURP, S - static P - proxy
2 routes in internet
The first zone listed for each entry is its default
(primary) zone.
C Net 1-1 directly connected, TokenRing0, zone one
R Net 2-2 [1/G] via 1.87, 9 sec, TokenRing0, zone Two
show appletalk zone
The show appletalk zone command displays the zone names and networks
that are known to the router through ZIP updates. This command is most useful
for troubleshooting reports of "missing" zones.
As noted previously, zones are the logical definitions of network
resources. For example, a zone called "Marketing" can be used to define
those resources (including file servers and printers) that are used by the mar-
keting group. This is also a better name than "Zone1" because the name
denotes the department or other business boundary. Naming zones for
groups of users can greatly simplify troubleshooting and assist users because
they will select resources based on the zone name first.
