Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Protocol
Figure A9-3. Connecting a Single Host Using IPXCP

For port 4 on 5390_01 , set the mode parameter to ppp, cli, auto_detect, or auto_adapt.
• Use ppp mode if the remote client (the PC) expects to dial into a port that is already
running IPX over PPP.
• Use cli mode if you are using third-party security software, such as SecurID. After meeting
the configured security requirements, the user issues the ppp command to set the mode
to ppp.
• Use auto_detect or auto_adapt mode if you want the port to detect any of the following
protocols—IP over PPP, IPX over PPP, AppleTalk over PPP, or IPX. This mode also allows
the port to detect PPP, ARAP, proprietary IPX and the CLI. (SLIP is not detected.)

CAUTION: If you set a port to auto_detect or auto_adapt and you
want the Model 5390 server to be secure, configure the port to use
native protocol security for every protocol type the port could detect.
This means configuring the port for PPP, IPX, CLI, and AppleTalk
security.
