IPX Network Environment
Frame Type
The stations on an IPX network (both clients and servers) can run on
four different frame types existing on one physical Ethernet cable. These
frame types include 802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II (DIX), and SNAP.
Network Numbers
Whenever you are setting up an IPX routing environment, it is important
to correctly configure the network numbers on the LAN. On any IPX
network, there is an external network number that is, the number
associated with the frame type on the Ethernet cable to which the
stations on the network are joined. In addition to this external network
number, each NetWare server has its own internal network number. It
is important to remember that every network number has to be unique
for that entire internetwork. So if a server station had an internal
network number of 00000011, there is no other network number
(internal or external) of 00000011 anywhere on the network.
There are two different scenarios in which you would connect your
Prestige to a LAN: one with a server (server side), and one without a
server (client side).
This chapter shows you how to configure your Prestige for IPX.
Depending on your particular applications, you will need to
configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for
some applications in the following sections.
