There are two different scenarios in which your Prestige is deployed:

LAN with a server (server side)

LAN without a server (client side)

Figure 6-1 illustrates a typical IPX LAN-to-LAN application.

6.2.1 Prestige on LAN with Server

If your Prestige is on a LAN with a seed router, you do not need to configure the LAN network numbers. Your Prestige will learn the network number from the seed router and add the routes to its routing table.

6.2.2 Prestige on LAN without Server

Each IPX network must have a seed router. If you only have NetWare clients on your network, then you must configure the Prestige as a seed router and set up unique network numbers for each frame type enabled using the Ethernet Setup Menu.
