Configuring AppleTalk Routing

Document No. 10-300077, Issue 2
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-configuring). Therefore, users 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.
