MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
AppleTalk Routing
Configuring AppleTalk routing
simplifies potential network configuration changes. Should you need to change the 
network numbering, only the seed router needs to be reconfigured. The nonseed routers 
simply need to be rebooted to learn the changes.
5
If the MAX is to be a seed router, set the Net Start and Net End parameters to specify the 
range for the network to which the unit is attached. (For example, the menu shown in 
step 4 specifies a range of 300–309.)
If there are other seed routers sharing the MAX unit’s network segment, this information 
must be identical on all routers that share the network segment. If there are no other seed 
routers, every network number from Net Start to Net End must be unique for the entire 
internet. Valid network numbers are from 1–65,534.
6
If the MAX is to be a seed router, set the Default Zone parameter to specify the 
default-zone name assigned to the local AppleTalk network segment. Enter up to 33 
alphanumeric characters for the name. (For example, the menu shown in step 4 specifies 
SALES as the default zone.)
AppleTalk routers assign the default zone to any AppleTalk device that is connected to the 
local Ethernet segment but has not explicitly been assigned to another zone.
Note:
Zones can be shared across network segments. However, the Default Zone and list 
of additional zones need to be identical for any AppleTalk router sharing the local network 
segment.
7
If the MAX is to be a seed router, in each of one or more of the Zone Name parameters, 
specify the names of any other zones assigned to the network segment to which the MAX 
is connected. Enter up to 33 alphanumeric characters for each name. (For example, the 
menu shown in step 4 specifies MKTG in the Zone Name #1 field and SALES, MKTG in 
Zone Name #2.)
8
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
9
Reset the MAX unit to put the AppleTalk routing changes into effect.
Answer profile parameters
If you configure the MAX to authenticate with names and passwords, enable AppleTalk 
routing in the Ethernet > Answer profile by setting Route AppleTalk to Yes. For example:
Ethernet
Answer
PPP Options
Route IP=No
Route IPX=No
Route AppleTalk=Yes
Bridge=Yes
Recv Auth=None
MRU=1524
(You cannot set the Route AppleTalk parameter if AppleTalk is set to No in the Ethernet > Mod 
Config > AppleTalk Options profile or if AppleTalk Router is set to Off in that profile’s 
AppleTalk Options submenu.)
