The seed status defines what the Express 4100/4110 is to do with the net-
work information on the selected frame type during startup. There are
three possible seeding selections specified:
Seed The Express 4100/4110 will listen for an IPX network number
being sent by another router (including Novell software routers
residing on servers) on the Ethernet segment connected to this
port and use this number if it exists. If it doesn't discover a
number in use, the Express 4100/4110 will use the config-
ured IPX network number for the Ethernet segment.
Non-Seed The Express 4100/4110 will listen for an IPX network number
(def) being sent by another router (including Novell software routers
residing on servers) on the Ethernet segment connected to this
port and use this number if it exists. If it doesn't discover a
number in use, the Express 4100/4110 will wait indefinitely
until a number is sent by another router on the Ethernet seg-
ment.
Auto- The Express 4100/4110 will listen for an IPX network number
being sent by another router (including Novell software routers
Seed
residing on servers) on the Ethernet segment connected to this
port and use this number if it exists. If it doesn't discover a
number in use, the Express 4100/4110 will auto-generate a
valid number using its routing tables.
