Chapter 10 - WAN Link Protocols

 

 

IPX Address

This is the IPX address of the interface of the router WAN interface at the other end of the PVC. It should be entered in hexadecimal as a “network:node” pair (e.g. 12F0A:00A510123456).

The IPX network number must be between 1 and FFFFFFFE. The IPX node address must be 12 hexadecimal digits.

ϖNote: The IPX node address at the other end is generally a “borrowed” Ethernet address from one of the other router’s Ethernet interfaces. There is no addressing conflict because the actual Ethernet interface is on a network with a different IPX network number.

DECnet Address

This is the DECnet address of the router at the other end of the PVC. The address consists of a decimal “area.node” pair (e.g. 14.1001).

The area value must be within the range of 1 to 63. The node value must be within the range of 1 to 1023.

ϖNote: A period is traditionally used as the separator for DECnet area:node pairs. Other protocols use a colon.
