Perle Systems 1700 manual Novell Server with Dual LANs, IPX Forwarding, Select LAN1 or LAN2





Applications

IPX Forwarding Enabled

Location: Main

ªConfiguration

ªIPX Routing Set-up

ªIPX Forwarding

IPX forwarding must be re-enabled to allow the router to forward IPX frames onto the WAN to the partner router IPX routers.

The IPX Forwarding function enables or disables the forwarding of IPX traffic when IPX routing is enabled. When IPX forwarding is disabled, all IPX traffic across the WAN links will be blocked. While IPX forwarding is disabled, the router will still operate as an IPX router and maintain its routing and server tables.

If an P1730 is configured with two LAN interface modules, the setup will be similar to the above configuration; the difference being that rather than configuring the IPX numbers on different routers, they are configured on different LANs.
