Configuring IPX Interfaces

You can create new IPX interfaces and associate up to four interfaces of different encapsulation types to a VLAN. The concept of more than one IPX interface on a VLAN is referred to as multinetting.

To create a new IPX interface:

1.From the IPX Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Interfaces. The IPX Interfaces dialog box opens.

2.Click CREATE. The Add IPX Interface dialog box opens.

3.From the VLAN pull-down menu, select the VLAN to which you want to assign an IPX network address.

Note: If you need to create a new VLAN, refer to “Creating and Implementing VLANs” in Chapter 10.
