Cisco 1751 Router Software Configuration Guide
OL-1070-01
To route AppleTalk over IEEE 802.1Q between VLANs, you need to customize the subinterface to
create the environment in which it will be used. Perform these tasks in the order in which they appear:
• Enabling AppleTalk Routing
• Defining the VLAN Encapsulation Format
• Configuring AppleTalk on the Subinterface
Enabling AppleTalk Routing
To enable AppleTalk routing on IEEE 802.1Q interfaces, use the following command in global
configuration mode:
Note For more information on configuring AppleTalk, see the “Configuring AppleTalk” chapter
in the Cisco IOS AppleTalk and Novell IPX Configuration Guide.
Configuring AppleTalk on the Subinterface
After you enable AppleTalk globally and define the encapsulation format, you need to enable it on the
subinterface by specifying the cable range and naming the AppleTalk zone for each interface. To enable
the AppleTalk protocol on the subinterface, use the following commands in interface configuration
mode:
Defining the VLAN Encapsulation Format
To define the VLAN encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q, use the following commands in interface
configuration mode:
Command Purpose
appletalk routing [eigrp router-number]
Enables AppleTalk routing globally.
Command Purpose
Step1
appletalk cable-range cable-range [network.node]
Assigns the AppleTalk cable range and zone for the
subinterface.
Step2
appletalk zone zone-name
Assigns the AppleTalk zone for the subinterface.
Command Purpose
Step1
interface fastethernet
slot
/port.subinterface-number
Specifies the subinterface the VLAN will use.
Step2
encapsulation dot1q vlan-identifier
Defines the encapsulation format as IEEE 802.1Q
(dot1q), and specify the VLAN identifier.
