Write security: 2; Read security: 5
The seed status defines what the Express XL/XLT is to do with the network information on the selected frame type during startup. There are three possi- ble seeding selections specified:
Seed - The Express XL/XLT will listen for an IPX network number being sent by another router (including Novell software routers residing on servers) on the Ethernet segment connected to this port and use this number if it exists. If it doesn’t discover a number in use, the Express XL/XLT will use the configured IPX network number for the Ethernet segment.
