Can our department continue to use IPX and/or AppleTalk locally?
If your departmental server(s) and client machines are all on a single subnet, then AppleTalk/IPX routing is not necessary for the services on your machines. AppleTalk/IPX functionality will continue to work within any given subnet even after CNS disables the forwarding of these protocols across the campus network. However, even in this case, configuring your clients and server to use IP may increase your local performance somewhat as your subnet will no longer be subjected to as much broadcast traffic. • Our AppleTalk printers and servers are local, but they’ve disappeared since the abatement. Your servers and printers were formally members of an AppleTalk zone. These zones are defined and propogated by campus routers. With the abatement, these zones no longer exist, and thus, your former printer and server connections, which were made with reference to AppleTalk zones, are no longer valid. While the AppleTalk zones will no longer appear in the Chooser, your local printers and servers
