Configuring AppleTalk routing
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 13-7
Per-connection AppleTalk routing parameters
To enable AppleTalk routing for a specific connection:
1 Open Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile and set the Route AppleTalk parameter
to Yes.
You cannot set the Route AppleTalk parameter unless you set Ethernet > Mod Config >
AppleTalk Options > AppleTalk to No or Ethernet > Answer profile > Route AppleTalk to
No in the Answer profile.
2 Set the Encaps parameter to specify the encapsulation method: PPP, MPP, or MP.
3 Set the Dial # parameter to specify the number the MAX dials when it receives AppleTalk
data that it should forward to the remote network specified by this profile.
4 Open the AppleTalk Options submenu and set the Zone Name parameter to specify the
zone name for the AppleTalk router at the remote end of the connection. For example:
Ethernet
Connection profile
louie
AppleTalk options...
Peer=Router
Zone Name=ENGINEERING
Net Start=2001
Net End=2010
This zone name appears in the AppleTalk Zones window of the Chooser. If the WAN
segment for the zone is not already connected when packets for the zone are received (for
example, when a user selects this zone in the Chooser, and then selects AppleShare), the
MAX places a call to the number in the Dial # field of the Connection profile.
5 Enter the network range in the Net Start and Net End parameters.
This range defines the networks available for packets that are to be routed to this static
route. Valid entries for these fields are in the range from 1–65,534. All routes that share a
network segment must specify the same network range.
Configuring an AppleTalk connection with RADIUS
You can configure an AppleTalk-routed connection in a RADIUS user profile and configure
static AppleTalk routes in a RADIUS pseudo-user file. For more information, see the TAOS
RADIUS Guide and Reference.
