For additional information, refer to “Node (low)” later in this chapter. To learn how
to assign a Node list to a filter, refer to “Dest Node (low)” and “Source Node (low).”
Node ID
Assigns the circuit-group-specific node identifier portion of the AppleTalk address.
The AppleTalk router uses multiple AppleTalk addresses (one address for each port
to which the router is directly connected). The AppleTalk address (that is, the
network number and node identifier pair) must be unique for each node within the
AppleTalk internet. You can explicitly assign a node identifier, or you can allow the
AppleTalk router to assign its own node identifier. Regardless of the method used, it
is strongly recommended that you enable Probe to ensure a unique node identifier.
Default: 0 (AppleTalk assigns the node identifier)
Range: 1 to 253 (decimal)
Node Lists
Displays a screen with parameters for creating a Node list. For information about
creating a Node list, refer to “Node (low)” and “Node (high).” For information about
assigning the Node list to a filter, refer to “Dest Node (low)” and “Source Node
(low).”
Node (low)
Sets the lower boundary of the range for filtering AppleTalk source or destination
nodes when creating a Node list.
Options
Enter the AppleTalk node identifier in this field and leave the Node (high) field
blank if you are filtering a single AppleTalk source or destination node.
Enter the lowest AppleTalk node identifier in this field and enter the highest node
identifier in the Node (high) field if you are filtering a range of AppleTalk source
or destination nodes.
For additional information, refer to “Node (high)” earlier in this chapter. To learn
how to assign a Node list to a filter, refer to “Dest Node (low)” and “Source Node
(low).”
Precedence
Assigns a priority value to a filter—the higher the precedence, the greater the
priority. You can construct up to 31 filters per AppleTalk interface. The Precedence
value is used when an in-coming packet meets several filter rules. In such an
instance, the filter rule with the highest priority (precedence) is applied to filter the
packet.
Default: 31
Range: 1 to 31
Note: When two filters have equal precedence, the first filter configured takes
precedence the second filter.
