Chapter 7 - Alternate Protocols and Security Parameters

This chapter briefly discusses the configuration of the IntraPort 2/2+ VPN Access Server for AppleTalk and IPX, and with RADIUS and SecurID authentication servers.

Detailed information on configuring the server to work with these protocols and servers is provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up more specific information in the other documents.

ϖNote: Refer to the VPN Client Reference Guide for information on the installation and operation of the VPN Client software

In this chapter:

CV = Parameters configured using CompatiView management software

TB = Parameters configured using Text-Based or Command Line Management

IPX Protocol

Required for IPX

Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will automatically adapt to conditions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for IPX

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to turn off unused frame types.

CV: Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet 0 dialog box.

TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 section.
