Phase 2 Routing/Off
These radio buttons control whether AppleTalk Phase 2 packets received by
a member interface of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group are passed on for
AppleTalk routing.

If set to Phase 2 Routing, then AppleTalk Phase 2 packets received on a
member interface of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group which cannot
simply be bridged to another member interface of the group are passed
on for AppleTalk routing.

If set to Phase 2 Off, then AppleTalk Phase 2 packets received on a
member interface of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group which cannot
be bridged to another member interface of the group are dropped. This
setting means that further AppleTalk configuration information is not
required for the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group.

Phase 2 Seed Status
One of the functions which routers perform in AppleTalk internetworking is
setting the AppleTalk network number for each network segment. A router
which sets the network number for a segment is said to have “seeded” the
network.

Seed means the router will listen for an AppleTalk Phase 2 network
range being set by another router on the segment(s) which are members
of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group and use this range if it exists. If
it doesn’t discover a range in use, the router will use the configured
AppleTalk Phase 2 Net # range (discussed below) to set the Phase 2
network number(s) for the segment(s). It will also assign the configured
Phase 2 Zone list to the segment(s).

Non-Seed means the router will listen for an AppleTalk Phase 2 network
range being set by another router on the segment(s) which are members
of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group and use this range if it exists. If
it doesn’t discover a range in use, the router will wait indefinitely until a
range is set by another router on the segment(s).

Auto-Seed means the router will listen for an AppleTalk Phase 2
network range being set by another router on the segment(s) which are
members of the AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group and use this range if it
exists. If it doesn’t discover a range in use, the router will auto-generate
a valid number (a range of size 1) using its routing tables.

Phase 2 Net # Range
For an AppleTalk Phase 2 Bridge Group which you set to Seed Phase 2, you
must provide a network number range. These two decimal numbers uniquely
identify the range of AppleTalk network numbers for the network segment(s)
