AppleTalk Zones
An AppleTalk zone is a logical collection of nodes on an AppleTalk
intranet. A zone can include all nodes in a single network or a collection
of nodes in different networks. You assign a unique name to each zone
to identify it in the intranet.
Figure 81 illustrates the relationship between physical AppleTalk networks
and logical AppleTalk zones.
Figure 81 AppleTalk Networks and Zones
This example shows an AppleTalk intranet with three subnetworks:
47-47, 20-40, and 8-8. Three AppleTalk zones span these networks:
Administration, Accounting, and Marketing. Network 20-40 includes two
nodes in the Administration zone and five nodes in the Accounting zone.
Network 47-47 includes a node from the Accounting zone and all nodes
in the Marketing zone. Network 8-8 consists of nodes in the
Administration zone only.
