Discard Serialization Packets, when enabled (checked), causes the IPX router to discard Novell
Netware File Server serialization security frames received from the specified virtual IPX port. Novell
Netware File Servers implement broadcast frames, often referred to as security frames, that contain
serialization information regarding the license of the file server executable. This feature permits
filtering of these broadcasts to help reduce WAN traffic and is not intended to interfere with copyright
protection mechanisms. This feature is automatically turned on when Dial-On-Demand is enabled in
PPP port setup.
The Advanced tab controls the master routing of the protocol and auto learn of Ethernet network
numbers, defines the broadcast name of the RASFinder, and enables IPX filtering.
If bridging of IPX packets is desired, IPX routing must be disabled and frame type support for the
frame type must be enabled.
If there is a server on the local segment, then IPX network number auto learn should be enabled. If
there is no server, or if for some reason the RASFinder comes up before the server does, the
RASFinder will default to some random network numbers after a short period of time.
