Greetings once again,

Many thanks to all that helped out in clarifying how access lists work
on the cisco.

This time I'm back looking for some advice on doing AppleTalk routing.
Our 20-odd nets are currently bridging non-IP traffic (e.g. AppleTalk
and IPX).  We have an AppleTalk router on each ethernet that does
traffic isolation and Zone creation.  (I hope the terminology I'm
using makes sense; I'm not a very in-the-know AppleTalk person...)

What we'd like to do is have the cisco route AppleTalk traffic.
The sample configuration in the cisco manual seems straightforward:

	appletalk routing
	[for interface in 0-23]
		interface ether $interface
		appletalk cable-range 0-0

We would like the cisco to auto-discover everything, so we're using "0-0"
as the cable range.  Unfortunately while we are playing around with the 
AppleTalk routing, the entire campus AppleTalk network is down.   For 
this reason (!) I'd like to be sure, with y'all's help, that we know
what we're doing...

A "show apple inter" shows a message along the lines of:

	Ethernet 1 is up; line protocol is up
	AppleTalk routing is disabled, Unknown status
	AppleTalk Cable Range is 0-0

In auto-discovery mode the cisco seemed not to see any AppleTalk traffic.
We also put in an explicit cable range and zone name on a couple of 
interfaces as a test, but this didn't help.

Are we missing something obvious here? 

Thanks again in advance for your help!
Craig
