Chapter 12 Configuring Ipx; Required Configuration - Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 User Manual

Required Configuration

The Netlink FRX4000, FRX6000, and Frame Relay Module support connections to
Novell IPX networks, for the purpose of routing traffic among LAN-attached work-
stations and local/remote servers, over frame relay or X.25, or between local LANs.
FRX and FRM support IPX versions of RIP (routing information protocol) and SAP
(service advertising protocol), providing end-to-end compatibility over a LAN or
frame relay network (via RFC 1490) with other IPX routers.
Filtering of different types of IPX traffic allows a network manager to select which
IPX traffic will be allowed to enter and leave the wide-area network (WAN).
IPX is supported on Ethernet, Token Ring (802.5), and frame relay interfaces.
To run IPX in an FRX or FRM, you must first configure the following in the database:
Node parameters, described in Chapter 3.
Line Processor(s) that will contain the interface(s) to the user device(s), plus
Line Interface Card(s) supporting the ports that will be the interfaces. See
Chapter 4.
Protocols: IPX, frame relay or X.25, and any others that will be transmitted over
the frame relay or X.25 link. See Chapter 4.
LAN interface(s) that will connect to any attached LAN(s). See Chapter 4.
Frame relay or X.25 port(s) that will connect to the network. See Chapter 6
(frame relay) or Chapter 7 (X.25).
IPX parameters described in this chapter.
