Layer 3 Switching 63

Novell IPX

The advanced feature licence AT-RPFL3Upgrade is required for this feature.

The switch’s implementation of the Novell IPX protocol uses the term circuit to refer to a logical connection over an interface, similar to an X.25 permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or a Frame Relay Data Link Connection (DLC). The term interface is used to refer to the underlying physical interface, such as VLAN, Ethernet, Point-to-Point (PPP) and Frame Relay.

To create IPX circuit 1 with the Novell network number 129 over the admin

VLAN, use the command:

ADD IPX CIRC=1 INTERFACE=vlan11 NETWORK=129 ENCAP=802.3

The command:

SHOW IPX CIRCUIT

displays information about the circuits configured for IPX (Figure 20).
