IPX Frame Type

This sets the IPX frame type for the NETServer’s LAN interface. The default is 802.2 Ethernet.

If the network attached to the NETServer’s LAN interface has more than one frame type, choose the frame type that best suits your network. Keep in mind that this frame type has a specific network number associated with it. When you enter the IPX Network Number for the Net0 interface, you must use the number associated with this frame type. Use the following command:

set net0 ipxframe <frame type>

Valid <frame type> entries are

Ethernet_802.2

Ethernet_802.2_II

Ethernet_802.3

Ethernet_II
