Nortel Networks NN46110-602 IPX group configuration, Sample IPX VPN Router topology, Windows NT

224 Appendix D Configuring for interoperability

Windows 95 and Windows 98

When running Windows 95 or Windows 98, load the intraNetWare* client, which is available from the Novell Web site:

http://www.novell.com

Note: The NetWare client for Windows 95 and Windows 98 does not function properly; therefore, you must use the Novell intraNetWare client when using IPX with PPTP.

Windows NT

You can use either the NetWare client that is already on Windows NT systems or the Novell intraNetWare client, which you access from the Novell Web site at www.novell.com.

IPX group configuration

IPX is disabled on a per-group basis by default. Therefore, you must enable IPX for group users to access IPX. Enable IPX for group users from the Profiles > Groups > Edit > Connectivity window.

Sample IPX VPN Router topology

All IPX public interfaces configured on the VPN Router use the same IPX network address. You must enable the private interfaces that you want to use for IPX traffic, and for each private interface you must configure the IPX network address and IPX frame type. The IPX network address that you configure must match the IPX network address for that LAN, and the IPX frame type must match the IPX frame type for that LAN. In the following figure, the public interface IPX network address that the VPN Router provides is 0000A100.

In Figure 14, the private interface network address to the NetWare server is 00000B16 and the Frame Type is 802.3; similarly, the private interface network address to the Nortel Router is 00000C22 and the Frame Type is SNAP.
