OUTING
■
Places its own node address in the source address field of the
packet’s MAC header
■
Increments the transport control field in the IPX header and sends
the packet to the next router
Terminology
Review the following IPX routing terms that are used extensively
throughout this chapter:
■
Address
— Unique 4-byte network address of a segment that is
located in the routing table.
■
Age
— The time in seconds since the network’s last update.
■
Cost
— A number between
1
and
65534
that the system uses to
calculate route tiks. Assign a cost of 1 to each IPX interface unless
your network has special requirements like the need for redundant
paths.
■
Frame Formats
— Frame encapsulation format.
■
Hops
—
The number of routers that must be crossed to reach a
network segment.
■
Interface
— The system-assigned number for an IPX interface.
■
NetBIOS Protocol
— Network Basic Input Output System protocol.
An application programming interface (API) that adds special
functions for PC-based LANs.
■
Node
—
The node address of the router that can forward packets to
each network segment (when this is set to all
0
s, the router is directly
connected).
■
RIP
— Routing Information Protocol. Allows the exchange of routing
information on a NetWare network. IPX routers use RIP to create and
maintain their dynamic routing tables.
■
SAP
— Service Advertisement Protocol. Provides routers and servers
that contain SAP mode agents with a means of dynamically
exchanging network service information.
■
Tiks
—
An estimate of the time in seconds that is necessary to reach a
network segment.
■
VLAN Interfaces
— Your system’s point of attachment to a given
VLAN. A VLAN interface exists entirely within a given IPX interface.
