Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2 or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

IP static routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF can only be configured using text-based configuration.

TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword for the IP Ethernet 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.

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 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 Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.

AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk

Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for Apple- Talk. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase 2, and will adapt to conditions on the Ethernet.

Suggested for AppleTalk

You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values. You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.

CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 (and/or any other port numbers you wish to configure) section.
