Chapter 15Configuring IPX

Introduction

The S martSw itch 18 00 su pports conn ection s to No vell I PX ne tworks , for the pu rpose

of routing traffic among LAN-attached workstations and local/remote servers, over

frame relay or X.25, or between local LANs.

The SmartSwitch 1800 supports IPX versions of RIP (routing information protocol)

and SAP (service advertising protocol), providing end-to-end compa tibility ov er a

LAN or frame relay network (via RFC 1490) with other IPX routers.

Filtering of different types of IPX traffic allows a network manager to select which

IPX traffic will be allowed to enter and leave the wide-area network (WAN).

IPX is supported on Ethernet, Token Ring (802.5), and frame relay interfaces (Each

SmartSwitch 1800 has one Ethernet or one Token Ring interface, but not both in the

same device).

Required Configuration

To run IPX in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly configured:

●Node paramete r s (Chapter 4). This is g enera l conf igura tion th at must be done

no ma tter w hich protoc ols w ill b e ru n in t he n ode.

●Load ed protoc ol s (Chapter 5): IP , RIP, an d the tr an sport pr otocol : fram e relay

or X.25.

●LAN port (page 6-5) that will connect to the LAN(s).

●Frame relay (Chap t er 7) or X.25 (Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a

network or fram e rel a y PV C.

●IPX parameters described in this chapter.
