Configuration Procedure; Figure 4-25: Enabling Appletalk Routing - ADTRAN BlueSecure Controller Setup And Administration Manual

Configuration Procedure

You must enable at least two BSC interfaces to support AppleTalk routing. If there is no
other seed router, a managed side interface should be configured as a seed router. A
protected side interface should be configured as a non-seed router. You can enable
AppleTalk routing globally for all roles on the BSC or only for selected roles.
To enable the BSC to route AppleTalk traffic:
Click the Network tab in the BSC administrator console, and then click the AppleTalk
1.
tab on the Network page.
The Edit AppleTalk settings page appears as shown in Figure 4-25.
2. Mark the Enable AppleTalk checkbox to enable AppleTalk routing on the BSC.
Optional. Mark the AARP proxy checkbox to enable an AppleTalk Address
3.
Resolution Protocol proxy on the BSC.
Enable this option only if your MAC clients have trouble communicating through the
BSC.
4. Configure AppleTalk routing for each of the BSC's physical and virtual interfaces as
follows:
Note: A seed router assigns AppleTalk addresses much like a DHCP server. If there is
no seed router on the protected network, the protected network must be seeded and
include a proper zone.The managed side will almost always be seeded (unless a
seed router exists there too) and include a proper zone. For an explanation of the
difference between a seed port and a non-seed port on an AppleTalk router, refer to
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=21034&coll=ap.
