Netopia Router PN Series - Manual (Page 127)

AppleTalk Setup 6-3
To make the services on an internet manageable, groups of devices
on a network can be grouped into zones. When this is done,
selecting a network service (server, etc.) includes choosing a zone
from which the service can be selected. Like network numbers,
zone names are assigned by routers.
A routing table is maintained by each AppleTalk router. The table
serves as a map of the internet, specifying the path and distance,
in hops, between its router and other networks. The routing table is
used to determine whether a router will forward a data packet and,
if so, to which network.
You can use the information in the AppleTalk routing table to
observe and diagnose the Netopia Router’s current connections to
other AppleTalk routers. To go to the AT Routing Table screen from
the Netopia Router’s console, select Statistics, Utilities, Tests
from the Main Menu and then select Routing Tables and AppleTalk
Routing Table.
