Ringdale ISDN user manual IPX Routing Options

CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER

IPX Network Address: Type an 8 digit IPX address of the form xxxxxxxx, where each x is a hexadecimal number from 0-9 or A-F. This is IPX network address of the router. The network address will be bound to the frame type selected below.

Frame Type: From the drop-down list select the frame type, whichever is the frame type used for the Ethernet network of the router. If there is a Novell server on the Ethernet network, the frame type is the same frame type that the Novell server uses. The network address entered above will be bound to the frame type selected. The OverLAN ISDN router supports Ethernet II, Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet SNAP, and Ethernet 802.2 frame types.

IPX Routing Options

Due to the varieties and complexities of networks and applications, it is the responsibility of the network administrator to determine the cost of all line charges, or any other charges which may be incurred, resulting from the use of the OverLAN Ethernet/ISDN router. Such charges are not the responsibility of Ringdale.

IPX Routing Options appears under the Setup Tab > IPX Tab for the properties for a router.

Novell Rip Spoofing: This form of spoofing helps prevent a phone line from being raised when RIP packets from Novell servers advertising networks are encountered. This feature can help save on long distance line charges.

Watchdog Spoofing: This form of spoofing helps prevent a phone line from being raised when Watchdog packets from Novell servers checking on client connections are encountered. This feature can help save on long distance line charges.
