Write security: 2; Read security: 5
The Express 4100/4110 supports all four defined IPX frame types. The
possible frame types are: Ether Type II (def), Ether 802.3 (Raw), or Ether
SNAP
(802.2 SNAP). Only one frame type can be used at one time.
IPX/Seed Status
Write security: 2; Read security: 5
The seed status defines what the Express 4100/4110 is to do with the net-
work information on the selected frame type during startup. There are
three possible seeding selections specified:
Seed The Express 4100/4110 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 Express 4100/4110 will use the config-
ured IPX network number for the Ethernet segment.
Non-Seed
(def)
The Express 4100/4110 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 Express 4100/4110 will wait indefinitely
until a number is sent by another router on the Ethernet seg-
ment.
Auto-
Seed The Express 4100/4110 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 Express 4100/4110 will auto-generate a
valid number using its routing tables.
