Network Min
Functional when Seed Router set to ‘‘Yes’’. Operates in conjunction with Network
Max to specify the range of network numbers available to nodes on the directly-
connected AppleTalk network. In order to increase the number of nodes residing on
a local network, AppleTalk Phase 2 mandates that the seed router provide a range of
network numbers, which are then made available to network nodes. Network nodes
can then randomly generate a network number within the provided range, just as
they randomly generate a node identifier. This Network Min parameter specifies the
lowest network number for the range.
Default: 0 (port is treated as a nonseed router)
Disable: 0
Range: 1 to 65279
Network (high}
Sets the upper boundary of the range for filtering AppleTalk source or destination
networks when creating a Network list.
Options
Leave this field blank and enter the AppleTalk network number in the Network
(low) field if you are filtering a single AppleTalk source or destination network.
Enter the highest AppleTalk network number in the range if you are filtering a
range of AppleTalk source or destination networks.
For additional information, refer to “Network (low)” later in this chapter. To learn
how to assign a Network list to a filter, refer to “Dest Net (low)” and “Source Net
(low).”
Network (low)
Sets the lower boundary of the range for filtering AppleTalk source or destination
networks when creating a Network list.
Options
Enter the AppleTalk network number in this field and leave the Network (high)
field blank if you are filtering a single AppleTalk source or destination network.
Enter the lowest AppleTalk network number in this field and enter the highest
network number in the Network (high) field if you are filtering a range of
AppleTalk source or destination networks.
For additional information, refer to “Network (high)” earlier in this chapter. To learn
how to assign a Network list to a filter, refer to “Dest Net (low)” and “Source Net
(low).”
Node (high)
Sets the upper boundary of the range for filtering AppleTalk source or destination
nodes when creating a Node list.
Options
Leave this field blank and enter the AppleTalk node identifier in the Node (low)
field if you are filtering a single AppleTalk source or destination node.
Enter the highest AppleTalk node identifier in the range if you are filtering a range
of AppleTalk source or destination nodes.
