Справочное Руководство для Netopia 430 s

The Router assigns a unique network number to each member 
network. In terms of the city street metaphor, the network number is 
like the same name of the city. Putting a network number together 
with a node number fully specifies the address of a node on an 
internet.

To make the ser vices on an internet manageable, groups of devices 
on a network can be grouped into zones. When this is done, 
selecting a network ser vice (printer, etc.) includes choosing a zone 
from which the ser vice can be selected. Like network numbers, 
zone names are assigned by routers.

A routing table is maintained by each AppleTalk router. The table 
ser ves as a map of the internet, specifying the path and distance, 
in hops, between its router and other networks. The routing table is 
used to determine whether a router will for ward a data packet and, 
if so, to which network. 

You can use the information in the AppleTalk routing table to 
obser ve and diagnose the Netopia ISDN Router’s current 
connections to other AppleTalk routers. To go to the AT Routing 
Table screen from the Netopia ISDN Router’s console, select 
Statistics, Utilities, Tests from the Main Menu and then select 
Routing Tables and AppleTalk Routing Table.
