Implementation
This section introduces AppleTalk routing, explains how it operates, and
explains why you would want to configure it on the Avaya P580 or P882
Multiservice switch.
What is AppleTalk Routing?
AppleTalk Phase I was originally designed for local work groups.
AppleTalk Phase II extends the number of nodes in an internetwork to over
16 million and the number of zones per port to 254. The Avaya switch
supports both AppleTalk Phase I and Phase II. However, the translation
from AppleTalk Phase I to Phase II is not supported.
* Note: The Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice switches support
AppleTalk over Ethernet only.
The supported Ethernet versions are:
■
Ethernet SNAP
■
Ethernet II
