How do I connect my local and remote IPX networks over ISDN?
IPX (Internet Packet Exchange protocol) was developed by Novell and is
a network layer protocol similar to IP in the TCP/IP world. An IPX net-
work allows DOS/Windows PCs (or stations) to share networked servic-
es and devices. Stations on IPX networks are classified as a server or cli-
ent.
Before you begin
Before you start you’ll need the following information.
• A unique IPX System Name for the V!CAS.
• IPX Network Numbers for the local LAN, and if required by the
remote router, a network number for the WAN link.
• Your remote IPX router’s telephone number.
• The remote router’s PPP ID and Password if authentication is
used.
• An Internal IPX Network Number for the V!CAS if the default
value is already in use.
Configure it
Verify License
Verify the IPX subsystem is vaild.
Configure LAN interface
Enter the IPX Network Number of the LAN attached to this interface.
Create new WAN Partner
Create a new WAN partner for the remote IPX router the V!CAS
should call.
Make sure the IPX protocol is enabled and select an appropriate
encapsulation method; in most cases “PPP” will be fine.
