The seed status defines what the Express 6100/6120 is to do with the
network information on the selected frame type during startup. There
are three possible seeding selections specified:
Seed The Express 6100/6120 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
does not discover a number in use, the Express
6100/6120 will use the configured IPX network
number for the Ethernet segment.
Non-Seed
(def) The Express 6100/6120 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
does not discover a number in use, the Express
6100/6120 will wait indefinitely until a number
is sent by another router on the Ethernet seg-
ment.
