AppleTalk Commands

AppleTalk Commands

AppleTalk is a LAN system designed and developed by Apple Computer, Inc. It runs over Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks, and 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 chapter to configure and monitor AppleTalk networks. For AppleTalk configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring AppleTalk" chapter in the Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 2.

access-list additional-zones

To define the default action to take for access checks that apply to zones, use the access-list additional-zones global configuration command. To remove an access list, use the no form of this command.

access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} additional-zones

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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).

Example

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

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

access-list cable-range

To define an AppleTalk access list for a cable range (for extended networks only), use the access-list cable-range global configuration command. To remove an access list, use the no form of this command.

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


Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

cable-range

Cable range value. The argument specifies the start and end of the cable range, separated by a hyphen. These values are decimal numbers from 1 to 65279. The starting network number must be less than or equal to the ending network number.

broadcast-deny

(Optional) Denies access to broadcast packets if the conditions are matched.

broadcast-permit

(Optional) Permits access to broadcast packets if the conditions are met.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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). 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.

Example

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

broadcast-deny

(Optional) Denies access to broadcast packets if the conditions are matched.

broadcast-permit

(Optional) Permits access to broadcast packets if the conditions are met.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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). 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.

Example

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

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

deny

Denies access if conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if conditions are matched.

sequence-number

A number used to tie together two or three portions of an NBP name tuple and to keep track of the number of access-list nbp entries in an access list. Each command entry must have a sequence number.

BrRq

Broadcast Request packet type.

FwdRq

Forward Request packet type.

Lookup

Lookup packet type.

LkReply

Lookup Reply packet type.

object

Characterizes string as the portion of an NBP name that identifies a particular object or named entity.

type

Characterizes string as the portion of an NBP name that identifies a category or type of named entity.

zone

Characterizes string as the portion of an NBP name that identifies an AppleTalk zone.

string

A portion of an NBP name identifying the object, type, or zone of a named entity. The name string can be up to 32 characters long, and it can include special characters from the Apple Macintosh character set. To include a special character, type a colon followed by two hexadecimal characters. For an NBP name with a leading space, enter the first character as the special sequence :20.

Default

No particular access list entry for an NBP named entity is defined, and the default filtering specified by the access-list other-nbps command takes effect.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

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:

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:

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 access-list 600 permit other-nbps access-list 600 permit other-access

access-list network

To define an AppleTalk access list for a single network number (that is, for a nonextended network), use the access-list network global configuration command. To remove an access list, use the no form of this command.

access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} network network
[broadcast-deny | broadcast-permit]
no access-list access-list-number [{deny | permit} network network
[broadcast-deny | broadcast-permit]]


Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

network

AppleTalk network number.

broadcast-deny

(Optional) Denies access to broadcast packets if the conditions are matched.

broadcast-permit

(Optional) Permits access to broadcast packets if the conditions are met.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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). 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.

Example

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

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The access-list other-access command defines the action to take for access checks not explicitly defined with an access-list network, access-list cable-range, access-list includes, or access-list within 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 other-access command to data-packet and routing-update filters (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).

In software releases before 9.0, the syntax of this command was access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} -1. 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.

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

Denies access if conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if conditions are matched.

Default

Access is denied.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The access-list other-nbps command defines the action to take for filtering of NBP packets from named entities not explicitly defined by an access-list nbp command. It allows you to implement the default AppleTalk network security state at the named entity level. 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.

Example

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

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

cable-range

Cable range or network number. The argument specifies the start and end of the cable range, separated by a hyphen. These values are decimal numbers from 1 to 65279. The starting network number must be less than or equal to the ending network number. To specify a network number, set the starting and ending network numbers to the same value.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

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

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

zone-name

Name of the zone. The name can include special characters from the Apple Macintosh character set. To include a special character, type a colon followed by two hexadecimal characters. For zone names with a leading space character, enter the first character as the special sequence :20.

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

You apply access lists defined with the access-list zones 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.
Example

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

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

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

The appletalk access-group command applies data-packets 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 interface ethernet 0  appletalk access-group 601

The following example applies access list 600 to inbound Ethernet interface 0:

interface ethernet 0  appletalk access-group 600 in

appletalk address

To enable nonextended AppleTalk routing on an interface, use the appletalk address interface configuration command. To disable nonextended AppleTalk routing, use the no form of this command.

appletalk address network.node
no appletalk address [network.node]


Syntax Description

network.node

AppleTalk network address assigned to the interface. The argument network is the 16-bit network number in the range 0 to 65279. The argument node is the 8-bit node number in the range 0 to 254. Both numbers are decimal and separated by a period.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

You must enable routing on the interface before assigning zone names.

Specifying an address of 0.0, or 0.node places the interface into discovery mode. When in this mode, the Cisco IOS software attempts to determine network address information from another router on the network. You also can enable discovery mode with the appletalk discovery command. Discovery mode does not run over serial lines.

Example

The following example enables nonextended AppleTalk routing on Ethernet interface 0:

appletalk routing interface ethernet 0 appletalk address 1.129

For example, the cable range 511-512 would be printed as 1.255-2.0.

Example

The following example enables the display of network numbers in a two-octet format:

appletalk alternate-addressing

appletalk arp interval

To specify the time interval between retransmissions of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets, use the appletalk arp interval global configuration command. To restore both default intervals, use the no form of this command.

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 ms. When used with the probe keyword, the default interval is 200 ms. When used with the request keyword, the default interval is 1,000 ms.

Default

If you omit the keywords, probe is the default.

probe—200 ms
request—1000 ms

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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 command restores both the probe and request intervals specified in the appletalk arp interval and appletalk arp retransmit-count commands to their default values.

Example

In the following example, the AppleTalk ARP retry interval is lengthened to 2,000 ms:

appletalk arp request interval 2000

no appletalk arp
[probe | request] retransmit-count number


Syntax Description

probe

(Optional) Indicates that the number specified is to be used with AARP requests that are trying to determined 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 number specified is to be used when AARP is attempting to determine the hardware address of another node so that AARP can deliver a packet.

number

Number of AARP retransmissions that will occur. The minimum number is 1. When used with the probe keyword, the default value is 10 retransmissions. When used with the request keyword, the default value is 5 retransmissions. Specifying 0 selects the default value.

Default

If you omit the keyword, probe is the default.

probe—10 transmissions
request—5 transmissions

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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 command restores both the probe and request intervals specified in the appletalk arp interval and appletalk arp retransmit-count commands to their default values.

Example

The following example specifies an AARP retransmission count of 10 for AARP packets that are requesting the hardware address of another node on the network:

appletalk arp request retransmit-count 10

appletalk cable-range cable-range [network.node]
no appletalk cable-range cable-range [network.node]


Syntax Description

cable-range

Cable range value. The argument specifies the start and end of the cable range, separated by a hyphen. These values are decimal number from 0 to 65279. The starting network number must be less than or equal to the ending network number.

network.node

(Optional) Suggested AppleTalk address for the interface. The argument network is the 16-bit network number, and the argument node is the 8-bit node number. Both numbers are decimal and separated by a period. The suggested network number must fall within the specified range of network numbers.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

You must enable routing on the interface before assigning zone names.

Specifying a cable range value of 0-0 places the interface into discovery mode. When in this mode, the Cisco IOS software attempts to determine cable range information from another router on the network. You can also enable discovery mode with the appletalk discovery command. Discovery mode does not run over serial lines.

Example

The following example assigns a cable range of 3 to 3 to the interface:

interface ethernet 0 appletalk cable-range 3-3

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

When the appletalk checksum command is enabled, the Cisco IOS software discards incoming Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP) packets when the checksum is not zero and is incorrect, and when the router is the final destination for the packet.

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.

Example

The following example disables the generation and verification of checksums:

no appletalk checksum

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.)

The following example enables discovery mode on Ethernet interface 0:

appletalk distribute-list in

To filter routing updates received from other routers over a specified interface, use the appletalk distribute-list in interface configuration command. To remove the routing table update filter, use the no form of this command.

appletalk distribute-list access-list-number in
no appletalk distribute-list
[access-list-number in]


Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

Default

No routing filters are preconfigured.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

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

Default

No routing filters are preconfigured.

Command Mode

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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:

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:


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.
Example

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

appletalk domain-group

To assign a predefined domain number to an interface, use the appletalk domain-group interface configuration command. To remove an interface from a domain, use the no form of this command.

appletalk domain-group domain-number
no appletalk domain-group [domain-number]


Syntax Description

domain-number

Number of an AppleTalk domain. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 1000000.

Default

No domain number is assigned to the interface.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

Before you can assign a domain number to an interface, you must create a domain with that domain number using the appletalk domain name global configuration command.

One or more interfaces on a router can be members of the same domain. However, a given interface can be in only one domain.

After you assign AppleTalk interenterprise features to an AppleTalk domain, you can attribute those features to a tunnel interface configured for AURP by assigning the AppleTalk domain-group number to the tunnel interface.

Examples

The following example assigns domain group 1 to Ethernet interface 0:

interface ethernet 0 appletalk domain-group 1

The following example assigns domain group 1 to tunnel interface 2. Assuming that domain group 1 is configured for AppleTalk interenterprise and that tunnel interface 2 is configured for AURP, any features configured for domain group 1 are ascribed to AURP on tunnel interface 2.

Syntax Description

domain-number

Number of an AppleTalk domain. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 1000000.

Default

Reduction of hop-count values is disabled.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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.

Example

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

appletalk domain 1 name Delta appletalk domain 1 hop-reduction

appletalk domain domain-number remap-range {in | out} cable-range
no appletalk domain domain-number remap-range {in | out} [cable-range]


Syntax Description

domain-number

Number of an AppleTalk domain. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 1000000.

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

The argument 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.

Default

No remapping is performed.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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.

Example

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 appletalk domain 1 remap-range in 10000-10999 appletalk domain 2 remap-range in 20000-20999

The command allows you to configure the length of time that Enhanced IGRP routes can remain active. When a route reaches the active state time limit, the Cisco IOS software logs an error and removes the route from the routing table. You can view the current setting of the Enhance IGRP active state time by using the show appletalk globals command.

Example

The following example shows the current setting of the Enhanced IGRP active state time using the show appletalk globals command, changes the setting using the appletalk eigrp active-time command, and then displays the changed setting (using the show appletalk globals command again):

If you enable split horizon on an interface, AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP 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.

Example

The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:

interface serial 0 no appletalk eigrp-splithorizon

appletalk eigrp-timers

To configure the AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP hello packet interval and the route hold time, use the appletalk eigrp-timers interface configuration command. 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.

Default

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

hold-time
:
For low-speed NBMA networks: 180 seconds
For all other networks: 15 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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 hold-time 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 hello-interval 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.

Example

The following example changes the hello interval to 10 seconds:

interface ethernet 0 appletalk eigrp-timers 10 45

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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:

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

Example

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

interface ethernet 0 appletalk cable-range 5-5 appletalk zone FreeAccessZone appletalk free-trade-zone

appletalk getzonelist-filter

To filter GZL replies, use the appletalk getzonelist-filter interface configuration command. To remove a filter, use the no form of this command.

appletalk getzonelist-filter access-list-number
no appletalk getzonelist-filter [access-list-number]


Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 600 to 699.

Default

No filters are preconfigured.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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 internetwork 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.

Example

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

appletalk glean-packets

To derive AARP table entries from incoming packets, use the appletalk glean-packets interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

appletalk glean-packets
no appletalk glean-packets


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

The Cisco IOS software automatically derives AARP table entries from incoming packets. This process is referred to as gleaning, which 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.

Example

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

appletalk ignore-verify-errors

To allow the Cisco IOS software to start functioning even if the network is misconfigured, use the appletalk ignore-verify-errors global configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

appletalk iptalk

To enable IPTalk encapsulation on a tunnel interface, use the appletalk iptalk interface configuration command. To disable IPTalk encapsulation, use the no form of this command.

appletalk iptalk network zone
no appletalk iptalk

Syntax Description

network

AppleTalk network address assigned to the interface. The argument network is the 16-bit network number in decimal.

zone

Name of the zone for the connected AppleTalk network.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

The following example configuration illustrates how to configure IPTalk:

interface Ethernet0 ip address 131.108.1.118 255.255.255.0 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.

To specify the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number when configuring IPTalk, use the appletalk iptalk-baseport global configuration command. To return to the default UDP port number, use the no form of this command.

appletalk iptalk-baseport port-number
no appletalk iptalk-baseport
[port-number]


Syntax Description

port-number

First UDP port number in the range of UDP ports used in mapping AppleTalk well-known DDP socket numbers to UDP ports.

Default

768

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

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 ip address 131.108.1.118 255.255.255.0 appletalk address 20.129 appletalk zone Native AppleTalk appletalk iptalk 30.0 UDPZone

appletalk lookup-type

To specify which NBP service types are retained in the name cache, use the appletalk lookup-type global configuration command. To disable the caching of services, use the no form of this command.

appletalk lookup-type service-type
no appletalk lookup-type service-type

Syntax Description

service-type

AppleTalk service types. The name of a service type can include special characters from the Apple Macintosh character set. To include a special character, type a colon followed by two hexadecimal numbers. For zone names with a leading space character, enter the first character as the special sequence :20. For a list of possible types, see Table 1 in the "Usage Guidelines" section.

Default

The ciscoRouter entries are retained in the name cache.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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 1 lists some AppleTalk service types.


Table 1: AppleTalk Service Types
Service Type1 Description
Services for Cisco Routers

ciscoRouter

Active adjacent Cisco routers. This service type is initially enabled by default.

IPADDRESS

Addresses of active MacIP server.

IPGATEWAY

Names of active MacIP server.

SNMP Agent

Active SNMP agents in Cisco routers.

Services for Other Vendors' Routers

AppleRouter

Apple internetwork router.

FastPath

Shiva LocalTalk gateway.

GatorBox

Cayman LocalTalk gateway.

systemRouter

Cisco's OEM router name.

Workstation

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

1Type 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.

Example

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 only one MacIP server per AppleTalk zone, and the server must reside in the default zone. A server is not registered via NBP until at least one MacIP resource is configured.

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:

appletalk maximum-paths

To define the maximum number of equal-cost paths the router should use when balancing the traffic load, use the appletalk maximum-paths global configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

appletalk maximum-paths [paths]
no appletalk maximum-paths [paths]


Syntax Description

paths

Maximum number of equal-cost paths to be used for balancing the traffic load. The paths argument is a decimal number in the range of 1 to 16.

Default

The default value is 1.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

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:

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

The following example restores the default value:

!Restore the default value no appletalk maximum-paths 4

appletalk name-lookup-interval

To set the interval between service pollings by the router on its AppleTalk interfaces, use the appletalk name-lookup-interval global configuration command. 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 1,200 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.

Default

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

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

The Cisco IOS software collects name information only for entities on connected AppleTalk networks. This reduces overhead.

If you enter an interval of 0, all polling for services (except ciscoRouter) is disabled. If you reenter a nonzero value, the configuration specified by the appletalk lookup-type command is reinstated. You cannot disable the lookup of ciscoRouter.

Example

The following example sets the lookup interval to 20 minutes:

appletalk name-lookup-interval 1200

appletalk protocol

To specify the routing protocol to use on an interface, use the appletalk protocol interface configuration command. To disable a routing protocol, use the no form of this command.

appletalk protocol {aurp | eigrp | rtmp}
no appletalk protocol {aurp | eigrp
| rtmp}


Syntax Description

aurp

Specifies that the routing protocol to use is AURP. You can enable AURP only on tunnel interfaces.

eigrp

Specifies that the routing protocol to use is Enhanced IGRP.

rtmp

Specifies that the routing protocol to use is RTMP, which is enabled by default.

Default

RTMP

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

You can configure an interface to use both RTMP and Enhanced IGRP. If you do so, route information learned from Enhanced IGRP will take precedence over information learned from RTMP. The Cisco IOS software will, however, continue to send out RTMP routing updates.

You cannot disable RTMP without first enabling AURP or Enhanced IGRP.

Enabling AURP automatically disables RTMP.

You can enable AURP only on tunnel interfaces.

Examples

The following example enables AURP on tunnel interface 1:

appletalk proxy-nbp

To assign a proxy network number for each zone in which there is a router that supports only nonextended AppleTalk, use the appletalk proxy-nbp global configuration command. To delete the proxy, use the no form of this command.

appletalk proxy-nbp network-number zone-name
no appletalk proxy-nbp [network-number zone-name]


Syntax Description

network-number

Network number of the proxy. It is a 16-bit decimal number and must be unique on the network. This is the network number that will be advertised by the Cisco IOS software as if it were a real network number.

zone-name

Name of the zone that contains the devices that support only nonextended AppleTalk. The name can include special characters from the Apple Macintosh character set. To include a special character, type a colon followed by two hexadecimal characters. For zone names with a leading space character, enter the first character as the special sequence :20.

Default

No proxy network number is assigned.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

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

appletalk proxy-nbp 60 Twilight

appletalk require-route-zones

To prevent the advertisement of routes (network numbers or cable ranges) that have no assigned zone, use the appletalk require-route-zones global configuration command. To disable this option and allow the Cisco IOS software to advertise to its neighbors routes that have no network-zone association, use the no form of this command.

appletalk require-route-zones
no appletalk require-route-zones


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

Example

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

appletalk require-route-zones

appletalk route-cache

To enable fast switching on all supported interfaces, use the appletalk route-cache interface configuration command. To disable fast switching, use the no form of this command.

appletalk route-cache
no appletalk route-cache


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled on all interfaces that support fast switching

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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 Balance (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.

Example

The following example disables fast switching on an interface:

interface ethernet 0 appletalk cable-range 10-20 appletalk zone Twilight no appletalk route-cache

appletalk route-redistribution

To redistribute RTMP routes into AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP and vice versa, use the appletalk route-redistribution global configuration command. To keep Enhanced IGRP and RTMP routes separate, use the no form of this command.

appletalk route-redistribution
no appletalk route-redistribution


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled when Enhanced IGRP is enabled.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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-Kb 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-Kb link.

Example

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

appletalk routing eigrp 23 no appletalk route-redistribution

appletalk routing

To enable AppleTalk routing, use the appletalk routing global configuration command. To disable AppleTalk routing, use the no form of this command.

appletalk routing [eigrp router-number]
no appletalk routing [eigrp router-number]


Syntax Description

eigrp router-number

(Optional) Specifies the Enhanced IGRP routing protocol. The argument router-number is the router ID. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 2147483647. It must be unique in your AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP internetwork.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The eigrp keyword first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

If you do not specify the optional keyword and argument, this command enables AppleTalk routing using the RTMP routing protocol.

You can configure multiple AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP processes on a router. To do so, assign each a different router ID number. (Note that IP and IPX Enhanced IGRP use an autonomous system number to enable Enhanced IGRP, while AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP uses a router ID.)

If you configure a device with a router number that is the same as that of a neighboring router, the Cisco IOS software will refuse to start AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP on interfaces that connect with that neighboring router.

Caution When disabling Enhanced IGRP routing with the no appletalk routing eigrp command, all interfaces enabled for only Enhanced IGRP (and not also RTMP) lose their AppleTalk configuration. If you want to disable Enhanced IGRP and use RTMP instead on specific interfaces, first enable RTMP on each interface using the appletalk protocol rtmp interface configuration command. Then, disable Enhanced IGRP routing using the no appletalk routing eigrp command. This process ensures that you do not lose AppleTalk configurations on interfaces for which you want to use RTMP.
Examples

The following example enables AppleTalk protocol processing:

The following example enables AppleTalk Enhanced IGRP routing on router number 22:

appletalk routing eigrp 22

appletalk rtmp-stub

To enable AppleTalk RTMP stub mode, use the appletalk rtmp-stub interface configuration command. To disable this mode, use the no form of the command.

appletalk rtmp-stub
no appletalk rtmp-stub


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

This command enables routers running Enhanced IGRP and 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 because Enhanced IGRP (not RTMP) is expected to deliver routes. 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 packet to keep end nodes alive.

Example

The following example turns on AppleTalk RTMP stub mode:

appletalk rtmp-stub

appletalk static cable-range

To define a static route or a floating static route on an extended network, use the appletalk static cable-range global configuration command. To remove a static route, use the no form of this command.

appletalk static cable-range cable-range to network.node [floating] zone zone-name
no appletalk static cable-range cable-range to network.node [floating] [zone zone-name]


Syntax Description

cable-range

Cable range value. The argument specifies the start and end of the cable range, separated by a hyphen. These values are decimal number from 0 to 65279. The starting network number must be less than or equal to the ending network number.

to network.node

AppleTalk network address of the remote router. The argument network is the 16-bit network number in the range 0 to 65279. The argument node is the 8-bit node number in the range 0 to 254. Both numbers are decimal.

floating

(Optional) Specifies that this route is a floating static route, which is a static route that can be overridden by a dynamically learned route.

zone zone-name

Name of the zone on the remote network. The name can include special characters from the Apple Macintosh character set. To include a special character, type a colon followed by two hexadecimal characters. For zone names with a leading space character, enter the first character as the special sequence :20.

Default

No static routes are defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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:

[update-interval valid-interval invalid-interval]


Syntax Description

update-interval

Time, in seconds, between routing updates sent to other routers on the network. The default is 10 seconds.

valid-interval

Time, in seconds, that the Cisco IOS software will consider a route valid without having heard a routing update for that route. The default is 20 seconds (two times the update interval).

invalid-interval

Time, in seconds, that the route is retained after the last update. The default is 60 seconds (three times the valid interval).

Default

update-interval: 10 seconds
valid-interval: 20 seconds
invalid-interval: 60 seconds

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

Routes older than the time specified by update-interval are considered suspect. Once the period of time specified by valid-interval 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 invalid-interval period, 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.

Example

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

appletalk timers 20 40 60

appletalk virtual-net network-number zone-name
no appletalk virtual-net network-number zone-name

Syntax Description

network-number

AppleTalk network address assigned to the interface. This is a 16-bit decimal network number in the range 0 to 65279. The network address must be unique across your AppleTalk internetwork.

zone-name

Name of a new or existing zone to which the AppleTalk user will belong.

Default

No virtual networks are predefined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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.

Example

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

Default

No access lists are predefined.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

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.

Example

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

interface ethernet 0 appletalk zip-reply-filter 600

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

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.

clear smrp mcache

To remove all fast-switching entries in the Sample Multicast Routing Protocol (SMRP) fast-switching cache table, use the clear smrp mcache EXEC command.

clear smrp mcache

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

Use this command to clear the SMRP fast-switching cache table. The SMRP fast-switching cache table contains the information needed to fast switch SMRP data packets. It is usually unnecessary to clear the table; however, you can do so to repopulate it or to clear a corrupted entry.


Note Using this command clears the table of all entries, not just a single entry.
Example

The following example shows the fast-switching cache table before and after the clear smrp mcache command clears the table of entries:

Router# show smrp mcache SMRP Multicast Fast Switching Cache Group In Parent Child MAC Header (Top) Address Use Interface Interface(s) Network Header (Bottom) -------------------------------------------------------------------- AT 11.121 Y Ethernet0 Ethernet3 090007400b7900000c1740db 001fed750000002aff020a0a0a AT 11.122 Y Ethernet0 Ethernet3 090007400b7a00000c1740db 001f47750000002aff020a0a0a AT 11.123 Y Ethernet0 Ethernet1 090007400b7b00000c1740d9 001fe77500000014ff020a0a0a Ethernet3 090007400b7b00000c1740db 001ffd750000002aff020a0a0a AT 11.124 N Ethernet0 Ethernet1 090007400b7c00000c1740d9 001fef7500000014ff020a0a0a Router# clear smrp mcache Router# show smrp mcache SMRP Multicast Fast Switching Cache Group In Parent Child MAC Header (Top) Address Use Interface Interface(s) Network Header (Bottom) --------------------------------------------------------------------

ping (privileged)

To check host reachability and network connectivity, use the ping privileged EXEC command.

ping [appletalk] [network.node]

Syntax Description

appletalk

(Optional) Specifies the AppleTalk protocol.

network.node

(Optional) AppleTalk address of the system to ping.

Command Mode

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

The privileged ping (packet internet groper function) command provides a complete ping facility for users who have system privileges. The ping command sends AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) datagrams to other AppleTalk nodes to verify connectivity and measure round-trip times.

Only an interface that supports HearSelf can respond to packets generated at a local console and directed to an interface on the same router. The Cisco IOS software only supports HearSelf on Ethernet.

If the system cannot map an address for a host name, it will return an "%Unrecognized host or address" error message.

To abort a ping session, type the escape sequence. By default, this is Ctrl-^ X. You enter this by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, letting go, and then pressing the X key.

Table 2 describes the test characters displayed in ping responses.


Table 2: AppleTalk Ping Characters
Character Meaning

!

Each exclamation point indicates the receipt of a reply (echo) from the target address.

.

Each period indicates the network server timed out while waiting for a reply from the target address.

B

The echo received from the target address was bad or malformed.

C

An echo with a bad DDP checksum was received.

E

Transmission of an echo packet to the target address failed.

R

Transmission of the echo packet to the target address failed because of lack of a route to the target address.

Sample Display of a Standard Ping

3165, 3161, and so on

Destination AppleTalk network number.

successors

Number of successors. This number corresponds to the number of next hops in the AppleTalk routing table.

FD

Feasible distance. This value is used in the feasibility condition check. If the neighbor's reported distance (the metric after the slash) is less than the feasible distance, the feasibility condition is met and that path is a feasible successor. Once the software determines it has a feasible successor, it does not have to send a query for that destination.

replies

Number of replies that are still outstanding (have not been received) with respect to this destination. This information appears only when the destination is in the Active state.

state

Exact Enhanced IGRP state that this destination is in. It can be the number 0, 1, 2, or 3. This information appears only when the destination is Active.

via

AppleTalk address of the peer who told the software about this destination. The first n of these entries, where n is the number of successors, are the current successors. The remaining entries on the list are feasible successors.

(345088/319488)

The first number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that represents the cost to the destination, The second number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that this peer advertised to us.

Ethernet0

Interface from which this information was learned.

The information in the show appletalk macip-servers display can help you quickly determine the status of your MacIP configuration. In particular, the STATE field can help identify problems in your AppleTalk environment.

Sample Display

The following is sample output from the show appletalk macip-servers command:

Router# show appletalk macip-servers MACIP SERVER 1, IP 131.108.199.221, ZONE 'S/W Test Lab' STATE is server_up Resource #1 DYNAMIC 131.108.199.1-131.108.199.10, 1/10 IP in use Resource #2 STATIC 131.108.199.11-131.108.199.20, 0/10 IP in use

Table 20 describes the fields shown in the display.


Table 20: Show AppleTalk MacIP-Servers Field Descriptions
Field Description

MACIP SERVER 1

Number of the MacIP server. This number is assigned arbitrarily.

IP 131.108.199.221

IP address of the MacIP server.

ZONE `S/W Test Lab'

AppleTalk server zone specified with the appletalk macip server command.

STATE is server_up

State of the server. Table 22 lists the possible states.

If the server remains in the "resource_wait" state, check that resources have been assigned to this server with either the appletalk macip dynamic or the appletalk macip static command.

Resource #1 DYNAMIC 131.108.199.1-131.108.199.10,
1/10 IP in use

Resource specifications defined in the appletalk macip dynamic and appletalk macip static commands. This list indicates whether the resource address was assigned dynamically or statically, identifies the IP address range associated with the resource specification, and indicates the number of active MacIP clients.

Use the show appletalk macip-servers command with show appletalk interface to identify AppleTalk network problems, as follows.


Step 1   Determine the state of the MacIP server using show macip-servers. If the STATE field continues to indicate an anomalous status (something other than "server_up," such as "resource_wait" or "zone_wait"), there is a problem.

Step 2   Determine the status of AppleTalk routing and the specific interface using the show appletalk interface command.

Step 3   If the protocol and interface are up, check the MacIP configuration commands for inconsistencies in the IP address and zone.

The STATE field of the show appletalk macip-servers command indicates the current state of each configured MacIP server. Each server operates according to the finite-state machine table described in Table 21. Table 22 describes the state functions listed in Table 21. These are the states that are displayed by the show appletalk macip-servers command.

del_server

State at which all servers end. In this state, the server deregisters all NBP names, purges all clients, and deallocates server resources.

initial

The state at which all servers start.

resource-wait

The server waits until a client range for the server has been configured.

send_confirms

The server tickles active clients every minute, deletes clients that have not responded within the last 5 minutes, and checks IP and AppleTalk interfaces used by MacIP server. If the interfaces are down or have been reconfigured, the server restarts.

server_start

The server registers configured IPADDRESS and registers as IPGATEWAY. It then opens an ATP socket to listen for IP address assignment requests, sends NBP lookup requests for existing IPADDRESSes, and automatically adds clients with addresses within one of the configured client ranges.

server_up

The server has registered. Being in this state enables routing to client ranges. The server now responds to IP address assignment requests.

zone_wait

The server waits until the configured AppleTalk zone name for the server is up. The server will remain in this state if no such zone has been configured or if AppleTalk routing is not enabled.

show appletalk nbp

show appletalk nbp

To display the contents of the NBP name registration table, use the show appletalk nbp EXEC command.

show appletalk nbp

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

The show appletalk nbp command lets you identify specific AppleTalk nodes. It displays services registered by the router. In contrast, use the show appletalk name-cache command to display any AppleTalk services of interest in local zones.

Routers with active AppleTalk interfaces register each interface separately. The Cisco IOS software generates a unique interface NBP name by appending the interface type name and unit number to the router name. For example, for the router named "router" that has AppleTalk enabled on Ethernet interface 0 in the zone Marketing, the NBP registered name is as follows:

router.Ethernet0:ciscoRouter@Marketing

Registering each interface on the router provides you with an indication that the device is configured and operating properly.

One name is registered for each interface. Other service types are registered once for each zone.

The Cisco IOS software deregisters the NBP name if AppleTalk is disabled on the interface for any reason.

Depending on the configuration of the global configuration commands appletalk lookup-type and appletalk name-lookup-interval, a node name may appear in this display instead of a node address.


Table 29: Show AppleTalk Route Field Descriptions
Field Description

Codes:

Codes defining how the route was learned.

R - RTMP derived

Route learned from an RTMP update.

E - EIGRP derived

Route learned from an Enhanced IGRP update.

C - Connected

Directly connected network.

A - AURP

Route learned from an AURP update.

    S - Static

Statically defined route.

P - Proxy

Proxy route. 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.

routes

Number of routes in the table.

Net

Network to which the route goes.

Net 999-999

Cable range to which the route goes.

directly connected

Indicates that the network is directly connected to the router.

uses

Fair estimate of the number of times a route gets used. It actually indicates the number of times the route has been selected for use prior to operations such as access list filtering.

Ethernet

Possible interface through which updates to the remote network will be sent.

zone

Name of zone of which the destination network is a member.

[1/G]

Number of hops to this network, followed by the state of the link to that network. The state can be one of the following letters:

  • G—Link is good.

  • S—Link is suspect.

  • B—Link is bad.

The state is determined from the routing updates that occur at 10-second intervals. A separate and nonsynchronized event occurs at 20-second intervals, checking and flushing the ratings for particular routes that have not been updated. For each 20-second period that passes with no new routing information, a rating changes from G to S and then from S to B. After 1 minute with no updates, that route is flushed. Every time the Cisco IOS software receives a useful update, the status of the route in question is reset to G. Useful updates are those advertising a route that is as good or better than the one currently in the table.

When an AppleTalk route is poisoned by another router, its metric gets changed to poisoned (that is, 31 hops). The software then will age this route normally during a holddown period, during which the route will still be visible in the routing table.

via 258.179

Address of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

via gatekeeper

Node name of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

sec

Number of seconds that have elapsed since an RMTP update about this network was last received.

The following is sample output from the show appletalk route command when you specify a network number:

Router# show appletalk route 69 Codes: R - RTMP derived, E - EIGRP derived, C - connected, A - AURP

show appletalk zone

To display all entries or specified entries in the zone information table, use the show appletalk zone EXEC command.

show appletalk zone [zone-name]

Syntax Description

zone-name

(Optional) Displays the entry for the specified zone.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.

If no zone name is specified, the command displays all entries in the zone information table.

You can use this command on extended and nonextended networks.

A zone name can be associated with multiple network addresses or cable ranges, or both. There is not a one-to-one correspondence between a zone name and a LAN; a zone name may correspond to one or more networks (LANs or network interfaces). This means that a zone name will effectively replace multiple network addresses in zone filtering. This is reflected in the output of the show appletalk zone command. For example, the zone named Mt. View 1 in the following sample display is associated with two network numbers and four cable ranges.

Sample Display

show smrp forward

To display all entries or specific entries in the SMRP forwarding table, use the show smrp forward EXEC command.

show smrp forward [appletalk [group-address]]

Syntax Description

appletalk

(Optional) Displays SMRP forwarding table entries for all AppleTalk networks. Currently SMRP services are supported over AppleTalk only.

group-address

(Optional) SMRP group address. All members of a group listen for multicast packets on this address.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

The SMRP forwarding table describes the relationship between the SMRP router and the distribution tree for each SMRP group on the internetwork. An SMRP router has an entry in this table for every SMRP group for which the router is forwarding data. When data for an SMRP group arrives on the parent interface, it is forwarded to each child interface.

Looking at child and parent interfaces in relation to members of an SMRP group, a child interface is a neighbor that is farther away from the SMRP creator node and a parent interface is one that is closer to the creator node.

If no SMRP group address is specified, then the show smrp forward command displays information for all entries in the SMRP forwarding table. For all entries, the show smrp forward command displays the SMRP group address, the state of the SMRP group, the parent interface and address, and one or more child interfaces and addresses.

If an SMRP group address is specified, the command displays additional information for that group showing the child count, the time elapsed since the entry was updated, and the next poll time.


Note Because SMRP is currently supported over AppleTalk networks only, sample output resulting from the show smrp forward command is the same as output from the show smrp forward appletalk command.
Sample Displays

show smrp mcache [appletalk [group-address]]

Syntax Description

appletalk

(Optional) Displays the SMRP fast-switching cache table entries for all AppleTalk network groups. Currently, SMRP services are supported over AppleTalk only.

group-address

(Optional) SMRP group address. Use this argument to display only this group's fast-switching cache table entry.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

An SMRP router has an entry in its forwarding table for every SMRP group for which the router forwards data. For each group, the forwarding table lists the parent interface and address and one or more child interfaces and addresses. When data for an SMRP group arrives on the parent interface, the router forwards it to each child interface. The SMRP fast-switching cache table specifies whether or not to fast switch SMRP data packets out the interfaces specified by the forwarding table.

Use show smrp mcache command to view the SMRP fast-switching cache table. The command displays which interfaces are fast-switch enabled. If a parent interface is not fast-switch enabled, then there is no entry (row) in the table. If a child interface is not fast-switch enabled, then it is not in the list of child interfaces for an entry in the table.

If you do not specify an SMRP group address, then the show smrp mcache command displays information for all entries in the SMRP fast-switching cache table. If you specify an SMRP group address, the command displays cache entries for only that group.

SMRP fast-switching is enabled by default.

show smrp neighbor

To display all entries or specific entries in the SMRP neighbor table, use the show smrp neighbor EXEC command.

show smrp neighbor [appletalk [network-address]]

Syntax Description

appletalk

(Optional) Displays SMRP neighbor table entries for all AppleTalk networks. Currently SMRP services are supported over AppleTalk networks only.

network-address

(Optional) Network address of the neighbor router.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

A neighbor is an adjacent router. Neighboring routers keep track of one another by sending and receiving hello packets periodically. Using this method, the Cisco IOS software can determine if it has heard from a neighbor router within a certain amount of time. The software creates an entry in its neighbor table when it finds a neighboring route. The software maintains the entry, indicating, among other information, the current state of the neighbor. The software updates the entry if the state of the neighbor router changes; for example, a secondary router became a primary router. The secondary router is the router that becomes the primary router when the primary router is no longer heard from.

For all neighboring routers, the show smrp neighbor command displays the address of the neighbor router, the state of the neighbor, its interface, the last time it was heard from, its route version number, and whether or not routes need to be sent to the neighbor. If the network address of a specific neighbor is given as a command parameter, this information is displayed for that neighbor router only.


Note Because SMRP is currently supported over AppleTalk networks only, sample output resulting from the show smrp neighbor command is the same as output from show smrp neighbor appletalk command.

smrp mroute-cache protocol appletalk

To enable SMRP fast-switching on a port, use the smrp mroute-cache protocol appletalk interface configuration command. To disable SMRP fast-switching, use the no form of the command.

smrp mroute-cache protocol appletalk
no smrp mroute-cache protocol appletalk


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

By default, fast-switching is enabled on all SMRP ports. A network protocol and interface comprise an SMRP port. Fast switching improves the throughput rate by processing incoming packets more quickly than process switching.

SMRP uses the forwarding table to forward packets for a particular SMRP group. For each group, the forwarding table lists the parent interface and address and one or more child interfaces and addresses. When data for an SMRP group arrives on the parent interface, the router forwards it to each child interface. The SMRP fast-switching cache table specifies whether to fast switch SMRP data packets out the interfaces specified by the forwarding table.

SMRP fast switching requires that

When the parent port is fast-switch enabled, the system populates and validates a fast-switching cache table when forwarding packets out child ports.

To populate the fast-switching cache table with fast-switching information, the first packets are process switched. Thus, the fast-switching cache table is populated with information about fast-switch enabled child ports. When succeeding packets arrive, the system uses the SMRP fast-switching cache table to fast switch the packets out those child ports.

If there are non-fast-switching ports in the forwarding table, then the system process switches the packet out those ports.

To validate the fast-switching cache table, the system validates each cache entry when it forwards the first packet out all child ports. If a cache entry is validated, the router can use the entry to fast switch succeeding packets out the child ports.

If a cache entry is invalidated, the router cannot use the entry to fast switch packets. The entry is removed from the fast-switching cache table and the router process switches packets out the child ports. A cache entry is invalidated when one of these conditions is met:

Example

The following example disables SMRP fast-switching:

no smrp mroute-cache protocol appletalk

smrp protocol appletalk

To make SMRP multicast services available over AppleTalk for a specific interface, use the smrp protocol appletalk interface configuration command. To disable SMRP over AppleTalk for a specific interface, use the no form of the command.

smrp protocol appletalk [network-range beginning-end]
no smrp protocol appletalk [network-range beginning-end]

Syntax Description

network-range

(Optional) SMRP network range for the interface. We recommend that you do not specify an SMRP network range. When you omit the range, the Cisco IOS software uses the AppleTalk cable range configured for the interface as the SMRP network range. If you specify a range, it must fall within the SMRP network range 1 to 65535.

beginning-end

(Optional) The beginning and end of the SMRP network range for this AppleTalk network. If you specify a range, it must fall within the SMRP network range 1 to 65535.

Default

SMRP is disabled.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

SMRP supports point-to-multipoint multicasting of packets for AppleTalk networks. This support provides the capability of sending data from a single source to multiple stations without having to send duplicate copies of the data.

The smrp protocol appletalk command configures SMRP support over an AppleTalk network on an interface basis. Before you use this command, you must issue the smrp routing command to enable SMRP. After you enable SMRP, you can use this command to make SMRP services available over AppleTalk for any number of individual interfaces.

We recommend that you do not specify an SMRP network range for the AppleTalk network. Because the upper limit of the AppleTalk network range is 65,535, AppleTalk network numbers always fit within the SMRP network range; SMRP network numbers are 3 bytes long, whereas AppleTalk network numbers are 2 bytes long. If the AppleTalk network is a nonextended network, which is defined by a single network number, the AppleTalk network is mapped to the SMRP network range using the single number to define both ends of the range (for example, 65,520-65,520).

To disable SMRP services for a specific AppleTalk network, use the no form of this command. To disable SMRP services globally (that is, for all AppleTalk networks whose interfaces you have configured for SMRP support) issue the no smrp routing command.

Examples

The following example enables SMRP globally and turns on SMRP support over AppleTalk for the current interface:

smrp routing
interface ethernet 0
smrp protocol appletalk

The following example disables SMRP over AppleTalk for the current interface:

interface ethernet 0
no smrp protocol appletalk

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

You cannot have two tunnels using the same encapsulation mode with exactly the same source and destination address. The workaround is to create a loopback interface and source packets off of the loopback interface.

Cayman tunneling implements tunneling as designed by Cayman Systems. This enables our routers to interoperate with Cayman GatorBoxes. With Cayman tunneling, you can establish tunnels between two routers or between our router and a GatorBox. When using Cayman tunneling, you must not configure the tunnel with an AppleTalk network address. This means that there is no way to ping the other end of the tunnel.

Use DVMRP when a router connects to a mrouted router to run DVMRP over a tunnel. It is required to configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and an IP address on a DVMRP tunnel.

Generic route encapsulation (GRE) tunneling can be done between our routers only. When using GRE tunneling for AppleTalk, you configure the tunnel with an AppleTalk network address. This means that you can ping the other end of the tunnel.

Examples

The following example enables Cayman tunneling:

interface tunnel 0 tunnel source ethernet 0 tunnel destination 131.108.164.19 tunnel mode cayman

The following example enables GRE tunneling:
