Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Protocol

You can leave the ppp_mru parameter set to its default.

Reboot the Model 5390 server (to recalculate the IPX buffer pool).
At this point, user smith should be able to dial into the port 4. If the port mode is cli, smith must
pass CLI security and then issue the ppp command at the CLI prompt. If the port mode is auto_detect
or auto_adapt, smith presses Return to enter cli mode and then issues the ppp command after
passing CLI security. The Model 5390 PPP asks the security server (132.254.5.10) for smith's
address. Then the Model 5390 server negotiates with smith's PC for this address and opens the link.
IPXCP Configuration for Specific Ports
To configure IPXCP on a strictly per-port basis, follow the previous instructions for configuring
IPXCP for specific users, but substitute the following for steps 15 and 17.
15
Instead of configuring the acp_dialup file, set the port parameters ppp_ipx_network and
ppp_ipx_node.
Set ppp_ipx_network to any valid Novell network number.
This network number is a string of eight hexadecimal digits representing the four-byte, Novell
network number of the remote PC. Valid values are 00000001 to FFFFFFFF, or 0. Include
leading zeros, if any. The network number must be unique on the network and on the
Model 5390 server itself. When the IPXCP connection is established, the Model 5390 server
and the client negotiate, each suggesting a value for the network number. The peer suggesting
the highest number wins the negotiation, and the network number is set to that value. If both
ends of the link set the network number to 0, a unique, randomly generated number is used.
Set ppp_ipx_node to a string of 12 hexadecimal digits representing the 6-byte, nonzero node
number of the remote PC. Valid values are 000000000000 to FFFFFFFFFFFE, except for
multicast addresses. A multicast address is any address that has a 1 in the last bit of the first
octet. For example, the Appletalk multicast address is 090007000000, of which the first octet
(09) is 0000 1001 in binary; the rightmost 1 is the multicast indicator. If the client suggests any
valid value for the node number, that number will be used instead of the ppp_ipx_node value.
17
Set the dialup_addresses parameter to N instead of Y, so that the Model 5390 server will
not look for end point addresses in the acp_dialup file.
A9-14
NOTE: If the client PC is running Windows '95, the user must change
Windows security from SPAP (the default) to PAP or CHAP. SPAP is a
proprietary Microsoft security mechanism not supported by the
Model 5390 server.
