Configuring IPX Interfaces and Parameters

This section provides an overview of configuring various IPX parameters and setting up IPX interfaces.

Configuring IPX Addresses to Ports

You can configure one IPX interface directly to a physical port.

To configure an IPX interface to a port, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode:

Configure an IPX interface to a physical port.

interface create ipx <InterfaceName> address- mask <ipxAddr-mask>port <port>

Configuring IPX Interfaces for a VLAN

You can configure one IPX interface per VLAN.

To configure a VLAN with an IPX interface, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Create an IPX interface for a VLAN.

interface create ipx <InterfaceName> address-mask <ipxAddr-mask>vlan <name>

Specifying IPX Encapsulation Method

The SmartSwitch Router supports two encapsulation types for IPX. You can configure encapsulation type on a per-interface basis.

Ethernet II: The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a 16- bit protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)

802.3 SNAP: SNAP IEEE 802.3 encapsulation, in which the type code becomes the frame length for the IEEE 802.2 LLC encapsulation (destination and source Service Access Points, and a control byte)

802.3: 802.3 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
