Enabling AppleTalk Routing on an Interface
To enable AppleTalk routing on interface 3, enter the following command:
BigIron(config-if-3)# appletalk routing
Saving Configuration Changes to the Interface
Once you have configured the cable range, network address, zone(s), and AppleTalk routing for an interface, you
can preserve the configuration changes by saving them to flash.
If the system is operating with release 3.0 or earlier software, you also need to reset the system using the reload
CLI command, if AppleTalk is not yet enabled. If AppleTalk is active on the router, then no reset of the system is
needed.
BigIron(config-if-3)# write memory
BigIron(config-if-3)# end
BigIron# reload
NOTE: When there is more than one seed router on the network, make sure the AppleTalk configuration of each
of those seed routers is consistent with other routers on the same segment.
