AppleTalk Routing Overview
AppleTalk Phase I was originally designed for local work groups.
AppleTalk Phase II extends the number of nodes in an
internetwork to over 16 million and the number of zones per port
to 254. The Cajun switch supports both AppleTalk Phase I and
Phase II. However, the translation from AppleTalk Phase I to Phase
II is not supported.
The Cajun P550/P880/P882 switch software, version 5.0, supports
AppleTalk routing for packets destined across VLANs (inter-VLAN)
using layer 3 but for intra-VLAN traffic, layer 2 switching is
supported.
* Note: The Cajun P550/P880/P882 switch supports AppleTalk
over Ethernet only.
Ethernet versions supported:
■ Ethernet SNAP
■ Ethernet II
