Workgroup Remote Access Switch 527S YSTEM COMMANDSAppleTalk Routing Commandsget_zones - The port s obtaining a complete zone list for the network.get_routes - The port is requesting routes from another router on the network (if anotherrouter is present).up - The port is ready for use.down - The port is not ready for use.unnum_wait_addr - This state will exist with the following scenario:When an UnNumbered WAN port sends a locally generated packet that requires a reply,a return address is needed. But, because the port is UnNumbered, it has no addressassigned to it that it can use as a return address. To remedy this, the UnNumbered WANport will “borrow” an AppleTalk address from a local numbered port, knowing that whenthe reply comes, it will first come to the UnNumbered WAN port. If the UnNumberedWAN port attempts to “borrow” an address, but there are no numbered ports up, theunnum_wait_addr state exists; the WAN UnNumbered port is waiting for an address.addressThe port’s AppleTalk address.network rangeFor a LAN port, this specifies the AppleTalk network range of the LAN segment to which theport is connected. For a WAN port, this specifies the AppleTalk network range of the logicalsegment to which the port is connected. For NonExtended networks, the range will appear asone number (for example, 121-121). For UnNumbered ports, the range will appear as either 0-0 (nonextended networks) or 0.0-0.0 (Extended networks). Note that if the network isnonextended (phase 1), this field will be network (and will display a singular value) as opposedto network range (which displays a range).flagsThis will reflect any flags that have been activated for the indicated port. Possible flags are:extended - This flag is triggered if a network range has been configured for the port.phase-1 - This flag is triggered if the NonExtended network type is configured for the port.phase-2 - This flag is triggered if the phase-1 flag has not been triggered.probe-invalid - This flag is triggered if the port sends out a probe to see if its suggestedAppleTalk address is unique on the network, and a response comes back indicating thatthe address is already in use, and cannot be used by this port.soft-seed - This flag is triggered if the port is not configured in the discovery mode (it isconfigured with a suggested network range). Its classification as a soft-seed router indicatesthat it does have a suggested network range, but that range can be overridden if necessary.default zoneThe port’s configured default zone.LAN portFor LAN ports only. Indicates the Ethernet resource’s port number associated with thisAppleTalk LAN port.physical addressFor LAN ports only. The device’s MAC address.remote deviceFor WAN UnNumbered ports only. The remote device configured to use this port.
