Ipx_Node - Bay Networks 6300 Supplement Manual

Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters Book C

ipx_node

This PRI B channel parameter is a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
representing the 6-byte, non-zero node number the RA 6300 suggests for
the node number of the remote PC client on an IPXCP (IPX over PPP)
link. Valid values are 00-00-00-00-00-00 to FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FE,
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. The syntax for specifying
this parameter is:
set pri b[=channel_range | all] ipx_node node _number [increment]
Table C-23 describes the arguments used in the previous command.
If the client suggests any valid value for the node number, that number
will be used instead of the ipx_node value.
This parameter is overridden by the network number in the remote address
field of the acp_dialup file, if that field is configured correctly. If the node
number is not set in acp_dialup or through the ipx_node parameter, and
no value is suggested by the client, the RA 6300 uses its own Ethernet
address plus 1.
