Managing the Hub

In addition to the performance and conﬁguration information described in the preceding sections, the Chassis View also provides you with the tools you need to conﬁgure your ATX Chassis and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions include IPX and IP Routing conﬁguration, port conﬁguration, bridge conﬁguration, locating source addresses, and enabling and disabling ports.

IPX Routing

IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is the Novell proprietary protocol that speciﬁes how information is to be broken into separate packets, and how those packets are addressed in order to be routed from one Novell Netware node to another, and from one Novell Netware network to another.

You may enable any port in your ATX Chassis for IPX routing. To access the IPX Routing window:

1.Click on the appropriate Port button. A menu will appear.

2.Drag down to IPX Routing and release. The IPX Routing window, Figure 2-8, will be displayed.
