Chapter 3 - IPX Routing & Bridging

 

 

Logically, the IPX Bridge Group is treated by the device as an interface (Bridge 0). The settings in the IPX Routing: Bridge 0 Configuration Dialog Box (discussed below) determine the IPX parameters for all of the physical network interfaces which make up the IPX Bridge Group. This is shown sche- matically in the diagram above.

ϖNote: If you need more information about the IPX protocol, see “IPX 101” in the Appendices to this manual.

To access this dialog box, select Bridge 0/IPX Routing in the Device View.

IPX Frame Types

Compatible Systems devices support all four defined IPX frame types, and will perform routing between frame types as necessary. Whether each or all of these frame types are used on an individual Bridge interface is determined by the settings for each type.

Ethernet Type II is commonly used by TCP/IP and DECnet. The default seeding value is Non-Seed.
