Possible Problems
Solution
Configuration
mismatch
Use the
show appletalk interface exec
command. Check
the output for a “port configuration mismatch” message.If
the command output contains a“mismatch” message, the
router configuration disagrees with that of the listed
neighbor.If the command output does not include the
“mismatch” message, use the
clear apple interface
privileged exec
command on the interface in question. If
the interface becomes operational after clearing, a
configuration mismatch does not exist.

(continued)
1.
Use the
show appletalk interface exec
command. Check
the output for a “port configuration mismatch” message.If
the command output contains a“mismatch” message, the
router configuration disagrees with that of the listed
neighbor.If the command output does not include the
“mismatch” message, use the
clear apple interface
privileged exec
command on the interface in question. If
the interface becomes operational after clearing, a
configuration mismatch does not exist.
2.
Enter the
show appletalk interface exec
command again.
If its output still contains a “port configuration mismatch”
message, check whether all router configurations agree on
network number or cable range and the zone or zone list.
3.
If router configurations disagree on these parameters, alter
router configurations to bring all routers into alignment.
4.
If problems persist, put the problem router in discovery
mode by specifying the interface configuration command
appletalk address 0.0
on a nonextended network or the
appletalk cable-range 0-0
command on an extended
network. This causes the router to get its configuration
information from the network.
For more information about configuration mismatches, see the
section “AppleTalk Configuration Mismatches” earlier in this
chapter.
