AppleTalk Glean Packets
When you enable the glean packet parameter on an AppleTalk router, the router tries to learn the MAC address
from the packet instead of sending out an ARP request. The glean packets parameter is disabled by default.
EXAMPLE:
To enable glean packets on an AppleTalk router, use one of the following methods.
USING THE CLI
BigIron(config)# appletalk glean-packets
Syntax: appletalk glean-packets

AppleTalk QoS Socket
You can use the QoS socket parameter to assign a higher priority to specific AppleTalk sockets. Possible values
are 0 (normal priority) to 7 (highest priority) for Chassis devices (including the TurboIron/8). For Stackable
devices, the options are normal or high. The default value for all sockets is normal (Stackable devices) or 0
(Chassis devices).
For more information and procedures, see “Assigning AppleTalk Sockets to Priority Queues” on page 11-26.
AppleTalk RTMP Update Interval
You can change the RTMP update interval to modify how often the router sends RTMP updates on AppleTalk
interfaces. Possible values are from 1 – 3600 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
