Configuring AppleTalk
8. Beginning in software release 06.x, the AppleTalk ARP age is a global parameter instead of an interface
parameter. When you enter an ARP age value for a port and apply the change to the running-config file or
save the change to the startup-config file, the change is saved as the global setting. If you try to set different
values for different ports, the interface does not display an error message. Instead, the most recent value you
enter before saving the configuration change becomes the global setting.
9. Enable the routing option.
10. Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the devices running-config file.
11. Select the Save
link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the devices flash memory.
Modifying AppleTalk Interface Configurations
Once AppleTalk is active on a routing switch, all configuration changes are dynamic and require no reset.
However, once you configure an interface for AppleTalk, you must disable AppleTalk routing before you can make
any changes to the cable range, network address, or zones values. Once you make changes, you then must re-
enable AppleTalk routing for the new changes to take effect.
EXAMPLE:
Suppose you want to expand the network numbers supported on interface 3 from the range 10 50 to the range
10 100. Additionally, you want to add engineering and human resource zones to the interface. To do so, use
one of the following methods.
USING THE CLI
HP9300(config)# int e1/3
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# no appletalk routing
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk cable 10-100
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk zone engineering
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk zone humanresource
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# appletalk routing
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# end
HP9300# write memory
