Understanding the AppleTalk-routing environment
As another example, Smith Company adds AppleTalk devices to the network and sets up an
AppleTalk-routed environment, illustrated in Figure 7-2. All sites support IP routing and
AppleTalk routing or bridging. Twelve dial-in analog circuits are available for employees to
dial in to the corporate office while traveling. The remote sites and dial-in users access the
Internet by way of the corporate office.
For the company’s IP-routed environment, the corporate site belongs to the 10.10.10.0
network. The remote sites share subnetted segments of the 20.20.20.0 network. The corporate
site maintains a 128 kbps link to the Internet and also reserves 12 connections available for
employees to dial into while traveling. The MAX dynamically assigns up to 10 dial-in users
with IP addresses from a pool that begins with the address 207.107.84.40.
Four zones are created for the company’s AppleTalk-routed environment: Corporate, Site A,
SiteB, and SiteC. The units share Ethernet segments as follows:
•
Devices that share the Ethernet segment with the MAX unit belongs to network 100-150.
•
Devices that share the Ethernet segment with the Site A Pipeline belong to network
200-210.
•
Devices that share the Ethernet segment with the Site B Pipeline belong to network
300-300.
•
Devices that share the Ethernet segment with the Site C Pipeline belong to network
700-700.
