Novell IPX Routing Service
NetBIOS Protocol Support
NetBIOS Broadcast Static Routes
HP routers provide a non-Novell-standard static-routing mechanism that
converts IPX "all nets" NetBIOS broadcast packets to directed broadcast
packets. A directed broadcast is an IPX network-level broadcast to a single
network. NetBIOS broadcast static routing is typically used to enable a
NetBIOS client of one network to establish a session with a remote NetBIOS
server. The ability to control session establishment facilitates internetwork
security and management. Additionally, use of static routes can significantly
reduce the amount of NetBIOS broadcast packets in the IPX internet.
To configure a NetBIOS static route, you must specify a NetBIOS resource
name and the destination network where it resides. If the NetBIOS resource
name in a broadcast packet matches a static-route-table entry, then the
NetBIOS packet is routed to the destination network. If no match is found,
then the packet is treated as specified by the Accept NetBIOS Bcasts from
Net and Deliver NetBIOS Bcasts to Net parameters. Up to 50 NetBIOS
broadcast static routes can be configured.

Since the NetBIOS static route is not a standard Novell feature, it may
not work when non-HP or non-Wellfleet routers are used in the IPX
internet.
Refer to the IPX configuration parameters in the reference manual.
