IPX/Frame Type
Write security: 2; Read security: 5
The Express L768/L1.5 supports all four defined IPX frame types. The possi-
ble frame types are:
Ether Type II (def), Ether 802.3 (Raw) , Ether 802.2 , 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 L768/L1.5 is to do with the network
information on the selected frame type during startup. There are three possi-
ble seeding selections specified:
Seed - The Express L768/L1.5 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 L768/L1.5 will use the configured IPX
network number for the Ethernet segment.
Non-Seed (def) - The Express L768/L1.5 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 L768/L1.5 will wait
indefinitely until a number is sent by another router on the Ethernet
segment.
Auto-Seed - The Express L768/L1.5 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 L768/L1.5 will auto-generate a valid
number using its routing tables.
IPX/RIP Timer
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This value specifies how often the Express L768/L1.5 sends out IPX RIP pack-
ets on the network segment attached to the Ethernet port. The RIP packets sent
contain routing information about the networks for which this Express L768/
L1.5 is responsible. The default value is 60 seconds.
