2.1.3 - IPX Routing

The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are pre-configured to operate as an IPX router. When

installed in an IPX network, the IOLINK router will learn the IPX network numbers from

connected networks. It will then route the IPX frames to the appropriate destination IPX

network.

The IPX routing scenario may consist of one of the two following configurations. The first

configuration consists of Novell servers located on each of the LAN segments to be

connected. The second configuration consists of Novell servers located on only one of the

LAN segments to be connected. The IOLINK router IPX router will need to be

configured differently in the second configuration with Novell servers located on only one

of the LAN segments.

2.1.3.1 - Novell Servers in Both Locations

An Ethernet IPX router is used to intelligently route Novell IPX LAN traffic to another

network. The networks may be connected across a WAN link (illustrated below) or two

LANs connected to a dual LAN IOLINK-520.

Figure 2 -3 IPX Routed Local Area Networks (Servers on both sides)

IPX routers forward IPX frames based upon their IPX destination address and an internal

routing table. The router maintains the internal routing table with the network IPX

addresses and the remote partner IPX routers associated with those networks. When an

IPX frame is received, the destination IPX address is examined and looked up in the routing

tables. Once the destination IPX address is found in the routing tables, the IPX router

sends the IPX frame to the appropriate remote IPX network.

When both LAN segments contain Novell servers, the IPX network numbers are learned

automatically; simply ensure that IPX routing is enabled on the router for both networks.

When two IPX LAN segments with Novell servers on each segment are to be

connected via IPX routing, you must ensure that the IPX network numbers on each

of the Novell servers is unique. If the IPX network numbers are the same, IPX

routing will not operate.
