Netopia PN Series Network Router User Manual


 
6-16 Reference Guide
The AURP tickle timer is a parameter that you can set anywhere
between 0 and 100 hours. This parameter tells the AURP
partners when to send out an AURP tickle packet. If this value
is set to 0, the Netopia Router will never send out a tickle
packet.
Select Update Interval (HH:MM:SS) and set the timer to
indicate how often a Routing Information Update (RI-Upd)
packet will be sent to the remote router.
The update timer is a parameter that you can set between 10
and 327270 seconds in 10-second increments. Values less
than 10 will be rounded to 10. Values greater than 327270 will
be rounded to 327270. Values in between 10 and 327270 will
be rounded to the nearest multiple of 10.
To enable network number remapping, select Enable Network
Number Remapping and toggle it to Yes.
You should enable network number remapping if you plan on
using AURP. With remapping, Netopia will substitute network
numbers not used by your network for the numbers of other
remote networks. These safe numbers will only be used by
local routers on your network; remote routers will not be aware
of the remapping.
When network number remapping is enabled, you
must
choose
a safe range of network numbers as a destination for the
remapping. A safe range of network numbers does not intersect
your local AppleTalk network’s range of network numbers.
To choose a destination range for the remapping, select From
under Remap into Range and enter a starting value. Then
select To and enter an ending value. Make sure the range you
choose is large enough to accommodate all expected incoming
AURP network numbers.
To improve the efficiency of remapping network numbers into a
safe range, select Cluster Remote Networks and toggle it to
Yes. This setting takes any number of remote networks being
remapped and causes them to be remapped into a continuous
range.
