Displaying IPX Characteristics

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Internal Network

None or up to 8 hexadecimal numbers (no leading zeroes,

 

1 to FFFFFFFE). This entry configures the IPX internal

 

network number for the access server. It is used by the

 

serial ports for configuring a common network number

 

for all PC client dial-ins when PPP/IPXCP is negotiated.

 

This occurs when the PC client requests the access server

 

to configure the network through PPP. A higher network

 

number offered by the PC client takes precedence over

 

the internal network number. This number must also be

 

unique. It is recommended that the internal network

 

number be used to limit the number of unique networks

 

in the IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) database

 

of fileserver and routers.

LAN Frame

LAN frame types: ETHERNET, RAW802, SAP802, or

 

SNAP802.

LAN Network

Learn, Disable, or up to 8 hexadecimal numbers (no

 

leading zeroes, 1 to FFFFFFFE). “Learn” means that the

 

access server will monitor the LAN to determine the

 

network number of the corresponding frame.
