About the CyberSWITCH 100 Router
CyberSWITCH 100 Advanced User Information 17
Specify a Remote WAN IP Address if the remote router does not support IP address negotiation
under PPP (see Figure 5, below).

NetWare IPX Routing — An Ethernet LAN IPX network number is required for the
CyberSWITCH 100 local Ethernet LAN connection. The ISDN WAN link to each remote router
must have an assigned IPX network number. IPX Routes and IPX SAPs for each remote router are
also required for the configuration process. Figure 6 shows the network layout for IPX routing.
IPX Routes — If the CyberSWITCH 100 is to direct IPX traffic over the ISDN connection, the
routing table in the CyberSWITCH 100 can be “seeded” with static IPX routes. An IPX route
includes a network number, hop count, and ticks. The hop count is the number of routers through
which traffic must pass to reach the remote network segment or server. Ticks represent how much
time the packet takes to reach the destination in roughly 1/18th of a second increments.
The CyberSWITCH 100 routing information table must be seeded statically so that it dials out to
the appropriate remote router when IPX traffic is targeted to network segments or servers beyond
that remote router. After the link is established, RIP update packets dynamically add to the routing
information table in the CyberSWITCH 100. Seeding the routing table is not necessary when a
CyberSWITCH 100 never dials out; it will discover routes beyond the calling router as soon as
RIP updates arrive (provided the remote router supports RIP). However, for watchdog spoofing to
work, the remote IPX routes for network segments and servers should be defined.
IPX SAPs —
If the CyberSWITCH 100 is to obtain services beyond the remote router, the
CyberSWITCH 100 SAP services table must be seeded statically. A SAP service is identified by a
server name and corresponding server type, network number, node number and socket. The socket
number represents the service (application) within the server node.
