Configuring IPX

4.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

5.Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to list the command options.

6.Select the Reload link and select Yes when prompted to reload the software. You must reload after enabling IPX to place the change into effect.

Enable NetBIOS

The routing switch can support routing of NetBIOS broadcasts (type 20) over IPX. IPX must be enabled on the routing switch and the interface level for it to be operational. By default, this feature is disabled.

USING THE CLI

To enable NetBIOS on the routing switch (system level), enter the following command:

HP9300(config)# ipx netbios-allow

Syntax: ipx netbios-allow netbios-disallow

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

To enable NetBIOS (type 20) on the router and an interface:

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration dialog is displayed.

2.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

3.Click on the plus sign next to IPX in the tree view to expand the list of IPX option links.

4.Click on the Allow NetBIOS (Type 20) link to display the NetBIOS panel.

5.Select Enable.

6.Click the Apply button to apply the changes to the device’s running-config file.

7.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

NOTE: After enabling NetBIOS at the global level, you need to enable NetBIOS at the interface level.

Assign IPX Network Number, Frame Type, Enable NetBios on an Interface

Once you enable IPX on the routing switch, you can assign IPX network numbers on an interface-by-interface basis. You also can enable NetBIOS broadcasts on an interface.

USING THE CLI

EXAMPLE:

To configure interfaces 1, 2, and 3 with the IPX network number and frame type shown in Figure 14.1, enter the following commands:

HP9300(config)# int e1/1

HP9300(config-if-1/1)# ipx network 100 ethernet_802.2

HP9300(config-if-1/1)# int e1/2

HP9300(config-if-1/2)# ipx network 200 ethernet_802.2

HP9300(config-if-1/2)# int e1/3

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# ipx network 300 ethernet_802.2

Syntax: ipx network <network-number> <frame-type> [netbios-allow netbios-disallow]
