Configuring IPX Frame Types
On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of network communication frames must be specified on the card. In most cases, you can keep the default Frame Type setting, which is AUTO (“Automatic”). However, you can manually set the frame type format if required.
Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled (IPX/SPX=ON*) before you can configure frame types.

Frame Type | Description |
|
|
AUTO (default) | Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first |
| one detected. |
|
|
EN_8023 | Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All |
| others will be counted and discarded. |
|
|
EN_II | Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All |
| others will be counted and discarded. |
|
|
EN_8022 | Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE |
| 802.3 frames. All others will be counted and discarded. |
|
|
EN_ SNAP | Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 |
| frames. All others will be counted and discarded. |
