The seed status defines what the Express L128/L128T is to do with the net- work information on the selected frame type during startup. There are three possible seeding selections specified:
Seed - The Express L128/L128T 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 L128/L128T will use the configured IPX network number for the Ethernet segment.
