Configuring IPX

6.Enter the network number.

7.Select the frame type from the pull down menu.

8.Enable NetBIOS if desired.

9.Click the Add button to apply the changes to the device’s running-config file.

10.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.

Define and Assign a Forward Filter and Group

You can define a forward filter to allow a remote IPX client access to a restricted-access server. You can define up to 32 forward filters on a routing switch. Once you define the filter, you assign the filter to an interface by placing the filter in a forward filter group.

NOTE: A network number and frame type must be defined for the IPX interface before defining a forward filter.

EXAMPLE:

To allow IPX Client 1 on network 100 access to the finance server in Network 300 (Figure 14.1), define the following forward filter at the Global Level and then assign the filter to port 1/3 as a filter group.

NOTE: You can assign forward filters to either the input or output traffic on an interface.

USING THE CLI

HP9300(config)# ipx forward-filter 1 permit 100 008012345678 03030303 1 451 HP9300(config)# int e1/3

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# ipx forward-filter-group in 1

Syntax: ipx forward-filter <filter-id> permit deny <source-network-number> any <source-node-number> any <destination-network-number> any <destination-node-number> any <destination-socket-number> any

Syntax: ipx forward-filter-group in out <filter-id>

NOTE: When you define filters, the network number for a server is its internal network number. The node number for a client is the client’s MAC address. The value 1 represents a server.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

EXAMPLE:

To allow IPX Client 1 on network 100 access to the finance server in Network 300 (Figure 14.1), define the following forward filter at the Global Level and then assign it to port 1/3 as a filter group.
