29 is responsible for all user level AppleTalk network management\&. This includes routing, name registration and lookup, zone lookup, and the AppleTalk Echo Protocol (similar to
32 is typically started at boot time, out of
33 /etc/rc\&. It first reads from its configuration file,
34 :ETCDIR:/atalkd\&.conf\&. If there is no configuration file,
36 will attempt to configure all available interfaces and will create a configuration file\&. The file consists of a series of interfaces, one per line\&. Lines with `#\' in the first column are ignored, as are blank lines\&. The syntax is
55 Note that all fields except the interface are optional\&. The loopback interface is configured automatically\&. If
57 is specified, all other fields must be present\&. Also,
59 will exit during bootstrap\%ping, if a router disagrees with its seed information\&. If
61 is not given, all other information may be overriden during auto\-configuration\&. If no
63 option is given, the default phase as given on the command line is used (the default is 2)\&. If
67 is not, a net\-range of one is assumed\&.
69 The first \-zone directive for each interface is the ``default\'\' zone\&. Under Phase 1, there is only one zone\&. Under Phase 2, all routers on the network are configured with the default zone and must agree\&.
71 maps ``*\'\' to the default zone of the first interface\&. Note: The default zone for a machine is determined by the configuration of the local routers; to appear in a non\-default zone, each service, e\&.g\&.
72 \fBafpd\fR, must individually specify the desired zone\&. See also
76 If you are connecting a netatalk router to an existing AppleTalk internet, you should first contact your local network administrators to obtain appropriate network addresses\&.
79 can provide routing between interfaces by configuring multiple interfaces\&. Each interface must be assigned a unique net\-range
80 between 1 and 65279 (0 and 65535 are illegal, and addresses between 65280 and 65534 are reserved for startup)\&. It is best to choose the smallest useful net\-range, i\&.e\&. if you have three machines on an Ethernet, don\'t chose a net\-range of 1000\-2000\&. Each net\-range may have an arbitrary list of zones associated with it\&.
83 Below is an example configuration file for a sun4/40\&. The machine has two interfaces, ``le0\'\' and ``le1\'\'\&. The ``le0\'\' interface is configured automatically from other routers on the network\&. The machine is the only router for the ``le1\'\' interface\&.

97 automatically acts as a router if there is more than one interface\&.
