Novell IPX Routing Service
Novell Data-Link Layer Encapsulation
Figure 2. IPX Internetwork
Novell Data-Link Layer Encapsulation
In addition to Ethernet and IEEE 802.2 encapsulation for data-link-layer
frames, IPX routing service supports the proprietary Novell encapsulation.
Novell encapsulation, as shown below, prefixes an eight-octet preamble, six
octets of destination-address information, six octets of source-address
information, and two octets of packet-length information to the IPX packet.
It appends a four-octet frame check sequence to the packet. Choose Novell
encapsulation when using HP routers in Novell NetWare internetworks.
N o t e
This encapsulation choice will be valid only for IPX routing services and
will have no effect on the encapsulation used by other enabled bridging
or routing services.
