Enterasys Networks CSX7000, CSX5500 manual Appletalk Static Routes, Configuration, Considerations

USER’S GUIDE

number/range configured for the Remote LAN port differs from the network number/range that is being broadcasted in RTMP packets by other remote routers, the port becomes unusable.

Configuration

In order to properly set up an AppleTalk Remote LAN, you must:

•enable AppleTalk Routing from Options

•configure the WAN (Remote LAN) port from Options, AppleTalk Routing, AppleTalk Ports

•enable bridging and optionally specify an AppleTalk network number for the pertinent device level entries from Security, Device-Level Databases, On-node Device Entries

Considerations

Note the following in regard to the AppleTalk Remote LAN feature:

•The CyberSWITCH does not initiate connections to AppleTalk Remote LAN devices. The re- mote bridge is responsible for connecting to the CyberSWITCH. The CyberSWITCH can for- ward packets to the remote device once a connection is established.

•AppleTalk spoofing is not currently supported for this feature.

•Off-node route lookup is not currently supported for this feature.
