NOVELL IPX ROUTING

This chapter shows how to configure units to route Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) Protocol data packets between two networks, using ISDN.

Note that the IPX protocol, although similarly named, is completely different from the Internet Protocol (IP), which was covered in Chapter 3, and must not be confused with it.

Configuration steps are given for:

■Manual configuration of the central site router.

■Manual configuration of the remote router.

■Remote configuration of the remote router from the central site.

Novell IPX Routing

IPX routing is necessary for transferring data between two Novell Netware® networks which have different IPX network numbers.

Configuration Options

When configuring a unit to route IPX packets using a dial-up ISDN link between a central site and one or more remote sites, the central site should be configured manually first.

The Quick Configuration facility is not recommended for configuring IPX routing.

The remote site unit should be configured manually, either by direct cable connection to the serial manager port, or by utilizing the remote configuration facility (REM) of the central site unit.
