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

NITIAL NSTALLATION
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.
