Assigning AppleTalk zones

AppleTalk zones are identified by zone names. Follow these guidelines when you decide how to assign zone names:

  • You can assign one or more zone names to each Ethernet network. An asterisk (*) cannot be a zone name.

  • For each Ethernet network, decide which zone will be the default zone.

  • The number of zones your internet has depends on the size of the internet you are planning. If your internet is small, a single zone can be adequate. But if you have a single Phase 2 Ethernet network that spans a large geographic area or contains large numbers of AppleTalk devices (such as printers and servers), use multiple zones to make it easier for users to find the devices they need.
