MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Set the IPX Frame parameter to 802.3, and set the IPX Enet parameter to the IPX network
number for the Ethernet interface. For example:
Ether options...
IPX Frame=802.3
IPX Enet #=00000000
Set the IPX Pool # parameter to specify a network number for assignment to dial-in
clients. For example:
IPX Pool #=CF0123FF
Note: The most common configuration mistake on NetWare internetworks is in
assigning duplicate network numbers. Make sure that the network number you specify for
IPX Pool # is unique within the entire IPX routing domain of the MAX unit.
If more than one frame type needs to cross the WAN, make sure that you enable Bridging
(as described in Chapter 13, "Configuring Packet Bridging.")
Bridging=Yes
Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Invoke the terminal-server command-line interface.
Enter the IPXping command with the advertised name of a NetWare server. For example:
ascend% ipxping server-1
The command's output indicates whether or not the IPXping packets are reaching the
server and being returned.
Terminate IPXping at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
PPP options...
Route IPX=Yes
Recv Auth=Either
Session options...
IPX SAP Filter=1
