one detected.
• 802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE
802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
• 802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All
others will be discarded.
• Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All
others will be discarded.
• SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3
frames. All others will be discarded.
• Off: The IPX/SPX protocol is disabled.
