You will then be asked for the IPX external network number for the LAN interface. Enter 0100.

For the rest of the prompts, press <RET> to accept the default values (including the default values for the LAN RIP information).

After completing the LAN interface configuration, select Add to add the next interface for the Remote LAN. Configure the information for the WAN (Remote LAN) interface as follows:

Note that the IPX Network Number in the above screen refers to the external network number of the Remote LAN (i.e., the bridged sites).

The following menus will be presented if the IPX RIP/SAP protocols are enabled for the system. For Remote LANs, the remote peer (bridge) is not expected to understand RIP/SAP protocols. In the event that the remote peer does understand these protocols, we suggest the following configuration: do not send, receive, and respond. This will allow the remote peer to see NetWare services when the remote bridge is connected. When not connected, the services will age-out and eventually go away.

The RIP/SAP menus will appear similar to the following:

RIP Send Control:

1)Do Not Send.

2)Send.

Enter a RIP Send Control from the above menu [default = 2]? 1

RIP Receive Control:

1)Do Not Receive.

2)Send.

Enter a RIP Receive Control from the above menu [default = 2]? 2

RIP Respond Control:

1)Do Not Respond.

2)Send.

Enter a RIP Respond Control from the above menu [default = 2]? 2
