The IPX PARAMETERS MENU allows the setting of the type of IPX link connection to the remote site PPP router. The
parameters defined here are used by the IPX (Internet Packet Exchange) functions of the router for negotiating IPX routing
during call establishment. The menu options are shown in the above screen for both the numbered and unnumbered link IP
type settings. Some of the above menu options will not be displayed when unnumbered link IPX type is enabled.
1 - IPX Enabled
The IPX Enabled option enables or disables the Internet Packet Exchange negotiations for this remote site. When a
connection to this remote site does not require IPX routing, this option may be disabled.
Default: [enabled]
2 - Link IPX Type
The Link IPX Type option defines the type of link connection that will be established with the remote site PPP router.
The link may be:
1. Numbered - This is where both sides of the WAN connection have IPX node addresses assigned and the WAN
connection has it's own IPX network number.
2. Unnumbered - This is where the local and peer (remote partner PPP router) routers use their internal LAN side
IPX node numbers.
When operating in unnumbered mode, each of the two IPX routers operates as half of a complete router. The WAN
connection is considered a common internal data path with the IPX routing actually taking place between the two
remote LANs.
When the link IPX type is set to unnumbered, the IPX Net, Local IPX Node, and Peer IPX Node options are not
available.
When the link IPX type is set to numbered, the IPX network and local and peer IPX node numbers should be defined
to ensure proper IPXCP negotiations between the local and peer IPX PPP routers.
Default: [unnumbered]
Choices: numbered, unnumbered
