Requiredfor IPX
WANinterfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an
IPXaddress. Theyare set to actas an “unnumberedinterface.” Inthis
mode of operation, there are no required settings.
Suggestedfor IPX
Ifyou plan to use dial-on-demand for this link, you should set the
updatemethod to “triggered” to avoid the link being brought up by
transmissionof IPX RIP information. Youshould only use triggered
operation when you are connecting to another Compatible Systems
routerat the o ther end.
When you set up an on-demand link with IPX, you should carefully
monitorlink usage to determine whether the link is being activated only
when it is needed. Additionalrouter configuration will be required for
many networks in order to achieve optimal link usage.
