USER’S GUIDE504 CyberSWITCHatalk portThis command will display AppleTalk port information. A sample output screen is shownbelow:The fields in this display are defined as follows:typeThe port type. Possible types are LAN, WAN, WAN UnNumbered.Note that the WAN UnNumbered port information is not taken from the previously configuredAppleTalk Routing port information, but is derived from the AppleTalk Routing static routeconfiguration information.stateThe state of the port as it is in the process of coming up. Possible states include:listen - The port is listening to see if any other routers are out on the network.probing - The port is probing the network to see if its suggested AppleTalk address isunique, or if it is already in use.get_info - The port is verifying network information and obtaining the default zone.get_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.Port 1type: LAN state: UPaddress: 20.20 network range 20-21flags: extended phase-2 soft-seeddefault zone: zone1lan port: 1 physical address: 00409A001AB3Port 2type: WAN state: UPaddress: 30.30 network range 30-31flags: extended phase-2 soft-seeddefault zone: zone1Port 3type: WAN UNNUMBERED state: UPaddress: 20.20 (borrowed)remote device: MAC4
