Ppp_Ipx_Network; Ppp_Ipx_Node - Nortel 2000 Software Reference Manual

Book C Chapter 2 Configuration Parameters

ppp_ipx_network

This asynchronous port parameter is a
4-byte, Novell network number the
Annex suggests for the remote PC client on an IPXCP (IPX over PPP) link. Valid
0.
values are 00000001 to FFFFFFFF, or Leading zeroes, if any, should be
included. The network number must be unique on the network and on the Annex
itself.
When the IPXCP connection is established, the Annex and the client
negotiate the network number, each suggesting a value. The peer
suggesting the highest number wins the negotiation, and the network
number is set to that value. If both ends of the link set the network number
to 0, a unique, randomly-generated number is used as the default.
This parameter is overridden by the network number in the remote address
field of the acp_dialup file, if that field is configured correctly.

ppp_ipx_node

This asynchronous port parameter is a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
representing the 6-byte, non-zero node number the Annex suggests for
the node number of the remote PC client on an IPXCP (IPX over PPP)
link. Valid values are 000000000000 to FFFFFFFFFFFE, except for
multicast addresses. A multicast address is any address that has a 1 in the
last bit of the first octet. For example, the Appletalk multicast address is
090007000000, of which the first octet (09) is 0000 1001 in binary; the
rightmost 1 is the multicast indicator.
If the client suggests any valid value for the node number, that number
will be used instead of the ppp_ipx_node value.
