Remote Access Protocols

Compressed IPX Header (CIPX)

Negotiation of the IPX header compression option is defined in RFC1553. If your client package supports Compressed IPX Headers (CIPX), then configure this feature on your PC. The size of each packet can shrink up to 34 bytes, thereby giving your PPP session a significant performance boost.

AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol (ARAP)

ARAP is used to obtain direct access to AppleTalk resources at remote locations. The LCS60 uses ARAP to provide connection between the CommKit Host Inter- face and Ethernet-connected AppleTalk devices.

A remote user can dial into the LCS60 through the data switch, request ARAP service, and receive the AppleTalk network and node number automatically. The remote user can access AppleShare and remote printer spooling services in various zones in the network.

Refer to Chapter 6 for configuration of the LCS60 for ARAP service.

Features

Multiple IP Subnetworks

IP Routing

The LCS60 acts as an IP router with multiple IP network interfaces. Figure 1-4 shows an example of how an LCS60 might be configured, defining four virtual IP subnetworks. Each interface has a unique IP subnetwork number that represents a LAN segment. These numbers are allocated by the Network Administrator during configuration of the LCS60.
