Interfaces
An AppleTalk interface defines the relationship between an AppleTalk
virtual LAN (VLAN) and the AppleTalk network. Every AppleTalk interface
has one AppleTalk VLAN associated with it. Each module has one
AppleTalk interface defined for each subnetwork that is directly
connected to it.
Before you define an associated AppleTalk interface, define a VLAN, as
described in Chapter 9.
You can configure a maximum of 32 interfaces per router.
