AppleTalk Zone Names - Phase 1
A zone describes a group of networks which use AppleTalk protocol. A
particular network can only reside in one zone.
AppleTalk protocol uses zones to group networks together. Each zone has a
discrete zone name which can then be used (for example) to broadcast
datagrams to all devices within the zone.
The MultiPort/LT can be configured with the zone name of each network it
connects with which uses AppleTalk protocol.
Zone names are a maximum 32 characters long. The choice of name is
completely arbitrary. However, it is recommended a zone name should reflect
(for example) the purpose of the network or a specific organization. For
example, the zone name "webcomrad" might represent WEBster COMputer's
Research And Design centre.
1.6.4.
AppleTalk Zone Names - Phase 2
A zone describes a group of networks which use AppleTalk protocol. With the
advent of AppleTalk Phase 2, a particular network can reside in more than one
zone. This only applies to EtherTalk Phase 2 networks, where a range of
network numbers is allowable, and a zone list is available.
Please see Chapter 6 in the Installation Manual.
