Cyclades-PR2000

Enabling IPX

The first step is to activate the IPX feature in the router. This is accomplished using the menu option ADMIN =>ENABLE FEATURES => IPX. The IPX protocol must also be activated in the menu CONFIG =>IPX => GENERAL. In this menu, the Internal Network Number (the unique number assigned to the router) and the Maximum Number of Hops must be defined. The maximum number of hops defines how many routers can be on the path from this router to the destination of any packet sent through this interface.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

The example in Figure 13.1 will be used to explain the remaining parameters that must be configured. The Ethernet interface for the PR2000 is examined first. In the menu CONFIG =>INTERFACE => ETHERNET => ENCAPSULATION, the Ethernet interface must be activated. The MAC address should be correct, as it is preset at the factory. For IPX, the Encapsulation parameter should be set according to the value used by the servers on the network..

In the menu CONFIG =>INTERFACE => ETHERNET => NETWORK PROTOCOL => IPX, the protocol should be activated and the LAN Network Number (00A0B000 in the example) set. All other parameters are explained in chapter 5.

Configuring Other Interfaces

This stage depends on which board is occupying slot 1 and which encapsulation will be used. Each encapsulation option will be discussed separately. Read the chapter describing the configuration for the appropriate interface, consulting this section for details on IPX-specific parameters.

PPP

The parameters for the PPP data-link protocol are discussed in chapter 8. Only the parameters particular to the IPX protocol will be described here. The are located in the CONFIG =>INTERFACE =><INTERFACE> =>ENCAPSULATION =>PPP. The first parameter is the IPXWAN Network Number, shown in Figure 13.1 as 00B0C000. IPX Compression can be enabled, and if so the Number of Compression Slots determined. If enabled, it must be used on both sides of the link (both routers in Figure 13.1) in order for the link to work.
