9-10 CHAPTER 9: ADMINISTERING APPLETALK ROUTING
Configuring
Forwarding
You can control whether the router forwards or discards AppleTalk packets
addressed to other hosts. When you enable forwarding, the router processes
packets as usual, forwarding AppleTalk packets from one subnet to another
when required. When you disable IP forwarding, the router discards any
AppleTalk packets not addressed directly to one of its defined interfaces.
1At the Administration Console’s top-level menu, enter:
appletalk forwarding
2Enter the slot(s) of the EFSM(s) for which you want to enable AppleTalk
forwarding.
3Enter enable or disable at the prompt.
Configuring Checksum
Checksum is a simple method used for detecting errors in the transmission
of data. Checksum generation totals the bytes comprising the data and
adds this sum to the end of the data packet. Checksum verification allows
you to verify the integrity of the data that is routed. You can enable or
disable checksum generation and verification states.
To enable or disable checksum generation/verification:
1At the Administration Console’s top-level menu, enter:
appletalk checksum
2Enter enable or disable at the checksum generation prompt.
3Enter enable or disable at the checksum verification prompt.
