Table 22 show appletalk remap Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

Domain

Number of the AppleTalk IP domain.

State

State of the domain. It can be either Active or Nonactive.

Direction

Indicates whether the mapping is an inbound one (for packets entering the local domain segment) or an outbound one (for packets leaving the local domain segment).

Domain Net (Cable)

Network number or cable range that is being remapped.

Remapped to

Number or range of numbers to which a network number or cable range has been remapped.

Status

It can be one of the following values:

Unassigned—The network number or cable range was just remapped.

Unzipped—The remapped network number or cable range is trying to acquire a zone list. This state is possible for inbound remapped network numbers only.

Suspect—The Cisco IOS software suspects that it already has this entry in the routing table, and it is performing loop detection for this entry. This state is possible for inbound remappings only.

Good—The remapped entry has a complete zone list and, for inbound remappings only, it is in the main routing table.

Bad—The remapping entry is about to be deleted from the remapping table.

Table 23 describes the fields shown in the two displays, as well as some fields not shown but that may also be displayed. Depending on the configuration of the appletalk lookup-type and appletalk name-lookup-interval global configuration commands, a node name may appear in this display instead of a node address.

Table 23 show appletalk route Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

Codes:

Codes defining how the route was learned.

    R - RTMP derived

Route learned from an RTMP update.

    C - Connected

Directly connected network.

    A - AURP

Route learned from an AURP update.

    S - Static

Statically defined route.

    P - Proxy

Proxy route. Proxy routes are included in outgoing RTMP updates as if they were directly connected routes (although they are not really directly connected), since they are not associated with any interface. Whenever an NBQ BrRq for the zone in question is generated by anyone anywhere in the internetwork, an NBP FwdReq is directed to any router connected to the proxy route. The Phase 2 router (which is the only router directly connected) converts the FwdReq to LkUps, which are understood by Phase 1 routers, and sends them to every network in the zone.

routes

Number of routes in the table.

Net

Network to which the route goes.

Net 999-999

Cable range to which the route goes.

directly connected

Indicates that the network is directly connected to the router.

uses

Fair estimate of the number of times a route gets used. It actually indicates the number of times the route has been selected for use prior to operations such as access list filtering.

Ethernet

Possible interface through which updates to the remote network will be sent.

zone

Name of zone of which the destination network is a member.

[1/G]

Number of hops to this network, followed by the state of the link to that network. The state can be one of the following letters:

G—Link is good.

S—Link is suspect.

B—Link is bad.

The state is determined from the routing updates that occur at 10-second intervals. A separate and nonsynchronized event occurs at 20-second intervals, checking and flushing the ratings for particular routes that have not been updated. For each 20-second period that passes with no new routing information, a rating changes from G to S and then from S to B. After 1 minute with no updates, that route is flushed. Every time the Cisco IOS software receives a useful update, the status of the route in question is reset to G. Useful updates are those advertising a route that is as good or better than the one currently in the table.

When an AppleTalk route is poisoned by another router, its metric gets changed to poisoned (that is, 31 hops). The software then will age this route normally during a holddown period, during which the route will still be visible in the routing table.

via 258.179

Address of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

via gatekeeper

Node name of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

sec

Number of seconds that have elapsed since an RMTP update about this network was last received.


The following is sample output from the show appletalk route command when you specify a network number:

Router# show appletalk route 69

Codes: R - RTMP derived, C - connected, A - AURP 
P - proxy, S - static

The first zone listed for each entry is its default (primary) zone.

R Net 69-69 [2/G] via gatekeeper, 0 sec, Ethernet0, zone Empty Guf
Route installed 125:20:21, updated 0 secs ago
Next hop: gatekeeper, 2 hops away
Zone list provided by gatekeeper
Route has been updated since last RTMP was sent
Valid zones: "Empty Guf"

Table 24 describes the fields shown in the display.

    R - RTMP derived

Route learned from an RTMP update.

    C - Connected

Directly connected network.

    A - AURP derived

Route learned from an AURP update.

    P - Proxy

Proxy route.

    S - Static

Static route.

routes in internet

Number of routes in the Apple Talk internet.

Net

Cable range to which the route goes. This is the number of the network you specified on the show appletalk route command line.

[2/G]

Number of hops to this network, followed by the state of the link to that network. The state can be one of the following letters:

G—Link is good.

S—Link is suspect.

B—Link is bad.

The state is determined from the routing updates that occur at 10-second intervals. A separate and nonsynchronized event occurs at 20-second intervals, checking and flushing the ratings for particular routes that have not been updated. For each 20-second period that passes with no new routing information, a rating changes from G to S and then from S to B. After 1 minute with no updates, that route is flushed. Every time the Cisco IOS software receives a useful update, the status of the route in question is reset to G. Useful updates are those advertising a route that is as good or better than the one currently in the table.

When an AppleTalk route is poisoned by another router, its metric gets changed to poisoned (that is, 31 hops). The software then will age this route normally during a holddown period, during which the route will still be visible in the routing table.

via gatekeeper

Address or node name of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

0 sec

Number of seconds that have elapsed since an RMTP update about this network was last received.

Ethernet0

Possible interface through which updates to the remote network will be sent.

zone Empty Guf

Name of zone of which the destination network is a member.

Route installed 125:20:21

Length of time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) since this route was first learned about.

updated 0 secs ago

Time (in seconds) since the software received an update for this route.

Next hop: gatekeeper

Address or node name of the router that is one hop away.

2 hops away

Number of hops to the network specified in the show appletalk route command line.

Zone list provided by gatekeeper

Address or node name of the router that provided the zone list included with the RTMP update.

Route has been updated since last RTMP was sent

Indicates whether the software has received a routing update from a neighboring router since the last time the software sent an RTMP update for this route.

Valid zones: "Empty Guf"

Zone names that are valid for this network.

Field
Description

Rcvd:

This section describes the packets received.

    357741 total

Total number of packets received.

    0 checksum errors

Number of packets that were discarded because their DDP checksum was incorrect. The DDP checksum is verified for packets that are directed to the router. It is not verified for forwarded packets.

    264 bad hop count

Number of packets discarded because they had traveled too many hops.

    321006 local destination

Number of packets addressed to the local router.

    0 access denied

Number of packets discarded because they were denied by an access list.

    0 for MacIP

Number of AppleTalk packets the Cisco IOS software received that were encapsulated within an IP packet.

    0 bad MacIP

Number of bad MacIP packets the software received and discarded. These packets may have been malformed or may not have included a destination address.

    0 no client

Number of packets discarded because they were directed to a nonexistent MacIP client.

    13510 port disabled

Number of packets discarded because routing was disabled for that port (extended AppleTalk only). This is the result of a configuration error or a packet's being received while the software is in verification/discovery mode.

    2437 no listener

Number of packets discarded because they were directed to a socket that had no services associated with it.

    0 ignored

Number of routing update packets ignored because they were from a misconfigured neighbor or because routing was disabled.

    0 martians

Number of packets discarded because they contained bogus information in the DDP header. What distinguishes this error from the others is that the data in the header is never valid as opposed to not being valid at a given point in time.

Bcast:

Number of broadcast packets sent and received.

    191881 received

Number of broadcast packets received.

Number of packets that were broadcast out an interface on the router for which the device simulated reception of the packet because the interface does not support sending a broadcast packet to itself. The count is cumulative for all interfaces on the device.

    0 forwarded from MacIP

Number of IP packets forwarded that were encapsulated within an AppleTalk DDP packet.

    0 MacIP failures

Number of MacIP packets sent that were corrupted during the MacIP encapsulation process.

    436 encapsulation failed

Number of packets the router could not send because encapsulation failed. This can happen because encapsulation of the DDP packet failed or because AARP address resolution failed.

    0 no route

Number of packets the router could not send because it knew of no route to the destination.

    0 no source

Number of packets the router sent when it did not know its own address. This should happen only if something is seriously wrong with the router or network configuration.

Number of RTMP packets sent.

    0 replies

Number of RTMP replies sent.

ATP:

This section describes ATP packets.

    0 received

10.0

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If no zone name is specified, the command displays all entries in the zone information table.

You can use this command on extended and nonextended networks.

A zone name can be associated with multiple network addresses or cable ranges, or both. There is not a one-to-one correspondence between a zone name and a LAN; a zone name may correspond to one or more networks (LANs or network interfaces). This means that a zone name will effectively replace multiple network addresses in zone filtering. This is reflected in the output of the show appletalk zone command. For example, the zone named Mt. View 1 in the following example is associated with two network numbers and four cable ranges.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show appletalk zone command:

Router# show appletalk zone

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the test appletalk command to enter test mode. From test mode you can test the Name Binding Protocol (NBP) protocol.

The following display shows how to enter Appletalk test mode:

Router# test appletalk 
Router(atalk test)#

Type ? to display the following list of test options:

Router(atalk test)# ? 
end    Exit AppleTalk test mode 
nbp    AppleTalk NBP test commands

Use the test appletalk command with the nbp options to test and to perform informational lookups of NBP-registered entities. Use the NBP options when you find that AppleTalk zones are listed in the Chooser, but services in these zones are unavailable.

Type nbp ? to learn what NBP test commands you can use:

Router(atalk test)# nbp ?
nbp confirm:         send out an NBP confirm packet to the specified entity
nbp lookup:	          lookup an NVE. prompt for name, type and zone
nbp parameters:	      display/change lookup parms (ntimes, ncecs, interval)
nbp poll: 	           for every zone, lookup all devices, using default
?:	                   print command list
end: 	                exit nbptest

The following list summarizes the nbp test commands you can use:

nbp confirm—Sends out an NBP confirm packet to the specified entity.

nbp lookup—Searches for NBP entities in a specific zone.

nbp parameters—Sets the parameters used in subsequent lookup and pool tests.

nbp poll—Searches for all devices in all zones.

?—Displays the list of nbp tests.

end—Exit from the nbp test commands.

The remainder of this section shows and explains the syntax and output of the various NBP test commands.

When running any of the NBP tests, you specify a nonprinting character by entering a three-character string that is the hexadecimal equivalent of the character. For example, type :c5 to specify the test appletalk truncation wildcard.

This is the syntax of the nbp confirm command:

nbp confirm appletalk-address [:skt] object:type@zone

The syntax description is as follows:

appletalk-address

AppleTalk network address in the form network.node. The argument network is the 16-bit network number in the range 1 to 65,279. The argument node is the 8-bit node number in the range 0 to 254. Both numbers are decimal.

:skt

(Optional) Name of socket.

object:type

Name of device and the type of service. The colon (:) between object and type is required.

@zone

Name of the AppleTalk zone where the entity object:type resides.


Examples

The following is sample output from the nbp confirm command. In this example, the test sends a confirm packet to the entity ciscoRouter in zone Engineering.

Router(atalk test)# nbp confirm 24279.173 my-mac:AFPServer@Engineering

confirmed my-mac:AFPServer@Engineering at 24279n,173a,250s

This is the syntax of the nbp lookup command:

nbp lookup object:type@zone

The syntax description is as follows:

object:type

Name of device and the type of service. The colon (:) between object and type is required.

@zone

Name of the AppleTalk zone where the entity object:type resides.


The following is sample output from the nbp lookup command:

Router(atalk test)# nbp lookup =:macintosh:c5@engineering
