AppleTalk Setup

6-7

If you want the Netopia Router and all other routers on your network to use only their own configurations, set the Netopia Router and all other routers to hard seeding. In this case, any router (including the Netopia Router) that is rebooted will not begin routing if it detects a routing conflict between itself and any other router. This last scenario could be useful for detecting and locating routing errors on your network.
