12-10 CHAPTER 12: ADMINISTERING APPLETALK® ROUTING
Displaying the
Zone Table
AppleTalk allows for the logical grouping of nodes into zones to make
navigation through the network easier. This is done with the Zone
Information Protocol (ZIP). ZIP helps routers maintain a mapping of network
numbers to zones in the entire network. To do this, ZIP creates and
maintains a Zone Information Table (ZIT) in each router. The entries in this
table match the network numbers with the zone names.
In the Administration Console, you can display the zone table either by
network numbers or by zones.
To display the zone table:
From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:
appletalk zone display network
OR
appletalk zone display zone
