3Com 3C840 Configuring IPX for the LAN

9-2 CHAPTER 9: CONFIGURING IPX ROUTING
Configuring IPX for
the LAN
To configure IPX over the LAN, assign an IPX network to the LAN port by
providing a name and a network address. After adding a network you
can modify advanced parameters.
In order for the OfficeConnect Remote 840 to route traffic, you also have
to set up a corresponding network over the WAN port. (See “Configuring
IPX for Remote Sites Connection”.)
Use the Configuration > Local Site (LAN) > IPX screen to define or
modify all IPX networks over the LAN. Note that each IPX network
defined over the LAN must support a different frame type.
Adding a Local IPX
Network
To add a Local IPX network:
1From the OfficeConnect Remote 840 home page, select Configuration
> Local Site (LAN) > IPX. Click Add. This brings up a screen with the
following fields:
2Enter a name for the network, the IPX address of the network, and the
frame type of the network running on the LAN. Check the Enable IPX
box.
3Click Add to add this defined IPX network.
For information of configuring the IPX RIP and SAP, see “Configuring IPX
RIP and SAP”.
