types. The possible frame types are: Ether Type II (def), Ether 802.3
(Raw)
, Ether 802.2, or Ether SNMP (802.2 SNMP). Only one frame

IPX/Seed Status
Write security: 2; Read security: 5
The seed status defines what the Router Option Module is to do
with the network information on the selected frame type during
startup. There are three possible seeding selections specified:
Seeding Selection Description
Seed The Router Option Module will listen for
an IPX network number being sent by
another router (including Novell software
routers residing on servers) on the Ethernet
segment connected to this port and use this
number if it exists. If it doesn’t discover a
number in use, the Router Option Module
will use the configured IPX network num-
ber for the Ethernet segment.
Non-Seed (def) The Router Option Module will listen for
an IPX network number being sent by
another router (including Novell software
routers residing on servers) on the Ether-
net segment connected to this port and use
this number if it exists. If it doesn’t dis-
cover a number in use, the Router Option
Module will wait indefinitely until a num-
ber is sent by another router on the Ether-
net segment.
