WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual
- 238 -
To create a virtual link, you must specify an Area Border Router (ABR) and a common transit area at
both ends of the link (page 2-61 or 3-46). One ABR will border on the target area and the transit area,
while the other borders on the transit area and the backbone. The configuration on each router must
include the transit area identifier and the ABR at the other end of the link.
6.2.7 Non-IP Protocol Routing
The switch supports IP routing only. Non-IP protocols such as IPX and AppleTalk can not be routed by
this switch, and will be confined within their local VLAN group unless bridged by an external router.
To coexist with a network built on other multilayer switches, the subnetworks for non-IP protocols must
follow the same logical boundary as that of the IP subnetworks. A separate multi-protocol router can then
be used to link the subnetworks by connecting to one port from each available VLAN on the network.
