Configure IPX? (Yes, No): [Yes]

1.Enter y to con®gure IPX. Entern to skip IPX con®guration and continue with quick con®guration.

You will see messages similar to the following:

Type ©r© any time at this level to restart IPX Configuration

IPX Configuration is already present

Configure IPX anyway? (Yes, No): [No] yes

2. Enter y to replace the existing con®guration. Entern to keep the current con®guration and continue.

If you have con®gured for DIALs dial-in interfaces the following panel will be displayed:

Enable IPX on DIALs interfaces? (Yes, No): [Yes]

3. Enter y to automatically enable IPX on each of the DIALs interfaces. A random

 

IPX network number will be generated for the interface and IPXWAN will be

 

disabled for the DIALs interface. It is required that IPXWAN be disabled for

 

DIALs interfaces.

 

 

Enter n to automatically disable IPX on each of the DIALs dial-in interfaces.

Configuring Interface 0 (Token Ring)

 

Configure IPX on this interface? (Yes, No): [Yes]

 

4. The next messages and your responses depend on whether you are con®guring

Token-Ringor Ethernet.

 

Con®guring IPX for Token-Ring:

 

a. The following prompt is displayed:

 

Token Ring encapsulation (frame) type? (TOKEN±RING MSB, TOKEN±RING LSB,

 

TOKEN±RING_SNAP MSB, TOKEN±RING_SNAP LSB): [TOKEN±RING MSB]

 

b. Enter the encapsulation type used by the IPX protocol on your Token-Ring

 

end stations.

 

 

Token±Ring MSB:

Most common encapsulation type and the default. The IBM 2210

 

 

builds outgoing packets with a 3-byte 802.2 header, (0xE0, 0xE0,

 

 

0x03). It sends the source and destination addresses in MSB (most

 

 

signi®cant bit), or noncanonical, format, which is the native address

 

 

format for Token-Ring.

 

Token±Ring LSB

Same as Token-Ring MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the addresses

 

 

in LSB (least signi®cant bit), or canonical, format.

 

Token-Ring SNAP MSB

The IBM 2210 builds outgoing packets with an 8-byte 802.2/SNAP

 

 

header (0xAA, 0xAA, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0x37). It sends

 

 

the source and destination addresses in most signi®cant bit (MSB), or

 

 

noncanonical, format.

 

Token-Ring SNAP LSB

Same as Token-Ring SNAP MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the

 

 

addresses in LSB, or canonical, format.
