APPLETALK ROUTING NETWORK

APPLETALK ROUTING NETWORK

OVERVIEW

This chapter provides an example configuration of an AppleTalk Routing network. Our AppleTalk network is made up of two LANs, separated by the WAN. The MACs on each side of the WAN need to exchange packets with the MACs on the other side of the WAN. Both LANs also have a CyberSWITCH (SITE1 and SITE2). When configured for AppleTalk routing, SITE1 and SITE2 will provide the access the MACs need.

This chapter describes the AppleTalk configuration process for a CyberSWITCH. We will walk you through the configuration for SITE1. Because the instructions would be similar, we do not describe SITE2’s configuration.

For further network layout clarification, refer to the AppleTalk Routing Topology Worksheet.

INITIAL INSTALLATION STEPS

The initial steps in the CyberSWITCH installation process are basically the same no matter how complicated the network. These steps are:

completing the requirement worksheets

ordering ISDN service

powering on the system

accessing Release Notes

connecting an administration console

setting up Telnet access

upgrading system software

changing defaults to secure system

returning configuration to factory defaults

The chapters Accessing the CyberSWITCH and Upgrading System Software (in the User’s Guide) describe these steps in detail.

Worksheets for this network are included on the next few pages.
