Configuring IPX
causes the IPX interface to be enabled (
remain in that state until this parameter is changed.
Supported types are: Ethernet, 802.5 (Token Ring), X.25, and Frame Relay.
matches Novell's Ethernet_II frame type.
TYPE_II
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.3 frame type.
RAW
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.2 or Token-Ring frame type.
LLC
matches Novell's Ethernet_SNAP or Token-Ring_SNAP frame type.
SNAP
is the maximum frame size (in bytes) that can be transmitted or received over the IPX
interface.
identifies the local interface to the Novell network.
prioritizes this subscriber for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the
priority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port.
The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in
which it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.
assigns the IPX interface to one of sixteen groups whose parameters regulate band-
width usage. See "Configuring Bandwidth Allocation
denables or disables the IPX interface's ability to handle Novell Diagnostic packets. If
enabled, IPX will forward or respond to a diagnostic packet depending on to whom it
is addressed. If disabled, IPX will ignore the packet.
determines whether Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS frames received on the interface
will be processed. If disabled, NetBIOS frames will be discarded.

frame. (Each router in a packet's path to the destination network is one hop.) Frames
exceeding this value will be discarded.
