AppleTalk Dialer Lists
AppleTalk dialer lists are similar to IP dialer lists. They can be used in two ways: to establish general
protocol access or to call more specific access lists. The following dialer-list command is a generic
statement that creates dialer list 2 and permits all AppleTalk traffic:
dialer-list 2 protocol AppleTalk permit
The following dialer-list command creates dialer list 6 and calls all extended access lists
numbered 601:
dialer-list 6 protocol appletalk list 601
access-list 601 deny cable-range 7364-7364
access-list 601 permit other-access
The access-list command establishes access lists, which use network-layer filtering to control traffic.
AppleTalk access lists are numbered between 600 and 699. The access-list cable-range command
denies the forwarding of AppleTalk packets from cable range 7364-7364. The access-list
other-access command permits the forwarding of AppleTalk packets from any other cable range.
Some AppleTalk applications send out license management packets that, if not controlled, initiate
unnecessary connections. AppleShare 4.0, for example, sends out license management packets to
ensure that the same copy is not being run elsewhere. The license management packets are broadcast
to each cable range, which inherently include ISDN links. An access list can make the license
management packets uninteresting and prevent them from bringing up the link. The following
commands create an access list that for cable range 7364-7364 makes broadcasts (including license
management packets) uninteresting and all other traffic interesting:
access list 601 permit cable-range 7364-7364 broadcast-deny
access-list 601 deny other-access
To associate a dialer list with a specific ISDN interface, use the dialer-group interface configuration
command.
Note Because only one dialer-group command is allowed per interface, all of the dialer-list
commands associated with a specific interface must use the same number.
AppleTalk Dialer Maps
When used in AppleTalk networks, the dialer map interface configuration command associates an
AppleTalk network address with an ISDN number. In addition to specifying the AppleTalk address
of the destination router and the ISDN number to be dialed, the dialer map command specifies the
name of the router that is being called (which, to pass PPP CHAP authentication, must match the
name of the router) and the speed at which the call is to be placed. (Note that the name that is used
in the dialer map statement must also exist as a user name with a password on the local router.) The
following is an example of the dialer map command:
dialer map appletalk 7360.25 name RouterB broadcast 14085551212
The broadcast keyword allows AppleTalk routing updates to cross the ISDN link. If static routes
are being used, the broadcast keyword is not necessary. You can use a combination of snapshot
routing and access lists to prevent connections from being established for the sole purpose of
exchanging protocol updates. See the “Tariff Management” section later in this chapter.
