Configuring AppleTalk Routing

Need for AppleTalk Routing

If you configure your Avaya P580 or P882 Multiservice switch into a
network running AppleTalk routing, you should be aware of the following:
■Appletalk is built into all Apple devices, thus making them
automatically network capable. This makes Apple an extremely
easy network system to install and maintain.
■Due to the naming mechanism that AppleTalk uses, users do not
have to understand how AppleTalk works.
■AppleTalk supports a peer-to-peer network, thus dedicated servers
or centralized network are not required.
■AppleTalk is plug-and-play (auto-c onfiguring). Therefore, u sers can
plug an Appletalk device into an AppleTalk network and use it
immediately. No network configuration or assignments of network
addresses are needed when you add a device to an AppleTalk
network.
■AppleTalk support zones, which makes it easier for network
administrators to define work groups that consist of users and
services that can span multiple networks segments.
