A router has multiple communications ports and is capable of forwarding information to other routers and
devices on the internet. The router performs packet forwarding, network and device address maintenance, and
other administrative functions required by the AppleTalk protocols.
MacIP
When Macintosh computers encapsulate TCP/IP packets in AppleTalk, either because they are on LocalTalk or
they are on EtherTalk for administrative reasons, they must use the services of a MacIP gateway. This gateway
converts network traffic into the correct format for AppleTalk or IP, depending on the traffic’s destination.
Setting up MacIP involves enabling the feature and optionally setting up a range of addresses to be static.
See Chapter 8, “IP Setup.” for more information on how to set up MacIP and other IP addressing schemes.
AURP
AppleTalk Update-Based Routing Protocol (AURP) allows AppleTalk networks to communicate across an IP
network. Your local AppleTalk networks (connected to the Netopia R3100) can exchange data with remote
AppleTalk networks that are also connected to an AURP-capable router.
When two networks using AppleTalk communicate with each other through a network based on the Internet
Protocol, they are said to be tunneling through the IP network. The Netopia R3100 uses AURP to allow your
AppleTalk network to tunnel to designated AppleTalk partner networks, as well as to accept connections from
remote AppleTalk networks tunneling to your AppleTalk LAN.
