AppleTalk Access Problems
Problems with Hosts Attached to Access Server
Ports
Introduction
If you experience problems creating an AppleTalk connection from an attached host or
polling the access server from a network management station (NMS), verify the
following:
• AppleTalk is enabled on the access server.
• AppleTalk state is Up.
• AppleTalk address is within the network range.
• Cache size is nonzero.
• Access server is visible on the network.
• Attached host is running AppleTalk over PPP.
• PPP and ATCP are enabled.
• Attached host is configured as end node.
• Port configuration — dedicated PPP connection only.
Verify AppleTalk Is Enabled
To determine if AppleTalk is enabled on the access server, enter the following command:
Local> SHOW APPLETALK
If AppleTalk is not enabled, enter the following command:
Local> SET APPLETALK ENABLED
Verify AppleTalk State Is Up
In order to communicate using AppleTalk, the State field must be Up. To determine the
status of the State field, enter the following command:
Local> SHOW APPLETALK STATUS
If State is Off, the access server could not acquire an AppleTalk address for itself.
