Transport Protocols and CompatiView

CompatiView will be able to use the transport protocol (IP or IPX) you have selected to access Compatible Systems products anywhere on your internetwork. Depending on your security setup, you may also be able to use the IP transport option to manage devices across the Internet.

The IP protocol does not provide a method for CompatiView to automatically discover the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server. To initially contact the server over IP using CompatiView, you must first enter a valid IP address into the server. You can do this either on a console directly connected to the server or by setting a workstation’s IP address to

198.41.12.2with a Class C subnet mask (255.255.255.0) so that it can communicate over Ethernet with 198.41.12.1 (the shipping default of Ethernet 0:0). After setting the server’s IP address, be sure to change the workstation’s configuration back to its original settings.

The IPX protocol does allow CompatiView to automatically discover the server. Compatible Systems devices are configured to autoseed the two most common IPX frame types upon startup (802.2 and 802.3 (raw)). If CompatiView has the IPX/SPX protocol selected as its transport, it will be necessary to either powerup the server before powering up the workstation, or reboot the workstation after the server has completed its boot sequence. This process will ensure that the workstation and the server have the proper IPX network bindings for communi- cation.
