Managing the Hub
In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the
preceding sections, the Chassis View also provides you with the tools you need to
configure your ATX Chassis and keep it operating properly. Hub management
functions include IPX and IP Routing configuration, port configuration, bridge
configuration, locating source addresses, and enabling and disabling ports.
IPX Routing
IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is the Novell proprietary protocol that
specifies how information is to be broken into separate packets, and how those
packets are addressed in order to be routed from one Novell Netware node to
another, and from one Novell Netware network to another.
You may enable any port in your ATX Chassis for IPX routing. To access the IPX
Routing window:
1. Click on the appropriate Port button. A menu will appear.
2. Drag down to IPX Routing and release. The IPX Routing window, Figure 2-8 ,
will be displayed.
