3Com 812 IPX Routing

IPX Routing 6-15

add dns server <domain name> primary_address <ip address>

secondary_address <ip address>

To create an entry that will learn addresses using PPP, use the command:

add dns server <domain name> vc <vc name>

To display the contents of the DNS Server table, use the command:

list dns servers

To delete a domain entry, use the command:

delete dns server <domain name>

IPX Routing The OfficeConnect Remote 812 can be configured as an IPX router to forw ard IPX

packets between the local LAN interface and one or more remote sites. A

forwarding table is maintained which specifies which interface to route an IPX

packet based on the destination IPX network num ber. Entries into the forwarding

table are both static and dynamic. Static entries are based on the LAN's network

number, the remote site WAN interface number, and user configured static

routes. Dynamic entries are added when RIP is enabled and routes are learned

from neighboring routers.

To configure IPX routing, IPX must be defined on both the LAN interface a nd one

or more remote sites. On the LAN, an IPX network must exist with a specified IPX

network number. On the remote sites, IPX forwarding needs to be enable d, and

the WAN interface address need to be configured. The WAN interface can be

Unnumbered (set to 0), Numbered, or dynamically learned if PPP is used.

Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before

rebooting your OfficeConnect Remot e 812 so that your changes will be written to

permanent FLASH memory.

Enabling IPX Routing Unlike IP, there is no setting on the OfficeConnect Remote 812 that enables or

disables IPX routing functionality on a global basis.

Configuring IPX for the

LAN To configure IPX over the LAN you need to assign an IPX network to the LAN port

with the add ipx network command. E ach network has a name. You will use the

name when entering c ommands related to the network.

add ipx network <network name>

address <ipx network address>

frame [DSAP | ETHERNET_II | NOVELL | SNAP]

You can obtain a list of all configured networks using the comm and list

networks. To only list IPX networks, use list ipx networks.

By default, the network is enabled when it is created. You can disable the

network using the following command:

disable ipx network <network name>
