The AppleTalk routing feature allows the CyberSWITCH to efficiently route AppleTalk data as
opposed to bridging all data relating to the protocol. With the addition of the AppleTalk Remote
LAN feature, the CyberSWITCH can be configured to be a router, bridge or a mix of both when
handling AppleTalk traffic.
By default, AppleTalk routing is disabled when you first install your system software. To configure
the AppleTalk routing feature:
• enable AppleTalk routing
• configure AppleTalk port information
• configure AppleTalk static routes (optional)
• configure AppleTalk capacities
• enable/disable the AppleTalk isolated mode (optional)
