On the Head Office router define two IPX circuits, one for
the Ethernet interface and one for the wide area link. Configure
the wide area link as a demand link and enable RIP and SAP
change broadcasts, using:
ADD IPX CIRC=1 INT=ETH0 NETW=401
ENCAP=802.3
ADD IPX CIRC=2 INT=PPP0 NETW=129
DEMAND=ON
SET IPX CIRC=2 RIPCHANGE=YES
SAPCHANGE=YES
3
Repeat this procedure on the Remote Office router,
defining one IPX circuit for the Ethernet interface and one for
the wide area link. Configure the wide area link as a demand
link and enable RIP and SAP change broadcasts, using:
ADD IPX CIRC=1 INT=ETH0 NETW=12
ENCAP=802.3
Check for the presence of networks on the remote side of the
wide area network. If the remote network is missing from the
route table on either router, use the command:
RESET IPX
which resets the IPX routing software and forces the routers
to broadcast their routing and service tables.
CONFIGURING IPX DIAL ON DEMAND
If the PPP link uses an ISDN call and has been configured as a
dial on demand link (see
Configuring ISDN Dial on Demand
earlier in this guide), then IPX can be configured for IPX dial on
demand services.
To configure IPX dial on demand, follow these steps:
1
Purge the IPX static database to clear an preexisting IPX
configuration and enable the IPX routing software on each
router, using the commands:
Example output from the SHOW IPX
ROUTES command for a basic Novell
IPX network.
Example output from the SHOW IPX
SERVICES command for a basic
Novell IPX network.
Example output from the SHOW PPP
command for a basic Novell IPX
network.
