IPX ROUTING NETWORK

Configure IPX Routing: Masternet (Detroit)

ADD REMOTE LAN DEVICES

From the On-node Device Entries Menu, select Add. Enter the device name for the Tampa site, which is tampabr. Select Authentication, and add the Tampa site’s PAP password, which is tbpswd. Accept defaults for ISDN and IPX information.

From the Device Table Menu, select Bridging. Enter the IPX Remote LAN Network Number of 0128, which is the external network number of the Remote LAN at the Tampa site. Be sure make calls field is disabled, since Remote LAN does not as yet support this feature.

Note: In our example, we could have also accepted the default option for the IPX Network Number, NONE, since the remote LAN has no servers locally attached to it. In this case, the Remote LAN’s network address would default to 0128, the external network number we will configure for the Remote LAN interface. For more details, refer to the Configuring IPX chapter, Network Interface Background Information.

The bridging options for tampabr should now look like the following:
