The MAX links a Local Area Network (LAN) to a Wide Area Network (WAN). The LAN
might comprise a few workstations, a large number of workstations and servers, or any number
of interconnected networks. WAN connections provide links between the LAN and virtually
any site or network.
The MAX provides multiple interfaces for your use in implementing your configuration.
Considerations for development of your WAN configuration include the number of remote
users who need access to your LAN, the types of telecommunications lines and services your
carrier can provide, and the specific MAX model you have purchased. WAN connections have
traditionally been either physically dedicated (nailed) from end to end or dial-up (switched).
Frame Relay, which provides the benefits of nailed connections but with greater flexibility, is
becoming increasingly popular. X.25 networks are predominant in Europe.
Although the MAX has a large number of features, you might only have to configure a few of
them, depending on what you want the MAX to do. Almost all applications require
configuration of IP routing. You can use Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or the newer
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, which addresses many of RIP's limitations. If you
have Novell Netware clients and servers, you can configure the MAX for Internetwork Packet
