To configure IPX routing, IPX must be defined on both the LAN interface and one
or more remote sites. On the LAN, an IPX network must exist with a specified IPX
network number. On the remote sites, IPX forwarding needs to be enabled, and
the WAN interface address need to be configured. The WAN interface can be
Unnumbered (set to 0), Numbered, or dynamically learned if PPP is used.
Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before
rebooting your OfficeConnect Remote 812 so that your changes will be written to
permanent FLASH memory.
Enabling IPX Routing Unlike IP, there is no setting on the OfficeConnect Remote 812 that enables or
disables IPX routing functionality on a global basis.
Configuring IPX for the
LAN
To configure IPX over the LAN you need to assign an IPX network to the LAN port
with the
add ipx network command. Each network has a name . You will use the
name when entering commands related to the network.
add ipx network <network name>
address <ipx network address>
frame [DSAP | ETHERNET_II | NOVELL | SNAP]
You can obtain a list of all configured networks using the command list
networks . To only list IPX networks, use list ipx networks .
■
By default, the network is enabled when it is created. You can disable the
network using the following command:
disable ipx network <network name>
■
You can delete a disabled network using the command:
delete ipx network <network name>
Configuring IPX for
Remote Site
Connections
In order to enable IPX to be routed to a remote site, you must configure the
following items in the VC profile associated with the remote site connection.
■
You must enable IPX routing in the profile
■
You must enter the WAN IPX network information
■
To enable or disable IPX routing in a VC profile use the command:
set vc <vc name>
ipx [DISABLE | ENABLE]
The WAN IPX network information consists of the IPX network address for the
wide area connection. The IPX network address associated with the WAN
connection can be specified by you, learned from the remote site (if you are using
PPP as the Network Service for the connection), or the interface can be
Unnumbered.
■
To specify the WAN IPX address using up to 8 hexadecimal characters, use the
command:
