IPX Encapsulation Types
Novell NetWare

supports four types of frame encapsulation. The
term for each type is described in Table 61.
To configure a VLAN to use a particular encapsulation type, use the
following command:
config vlan <name> xnetid <netid> [enet_ii |
enet_8023 | enet_8022 | enet_snap]
Populating the Routing Table
The switch builds and maintains an IPX routing table. As in the case
of IP, the table is populated using dynamic and static entries.
Dynamic Routes
Dynamic routes are typically learned by way of IPX/RIP. Routers
that use IPX/RIP exchange information in their routing tables in the
form of advertisements. Using dynamic routes, the routing table
contains only networks that are reachable.

Name Description
ENET_II The frame uses the standard Ethernet 2
header.
ENET_8023 The frame includes the IEEE 802.3 length
field, but does not include the IEEE 802.2
Logical Link Control (LLC) header. This
encapsulation is used by NetWare version
2.x and the original 3.x version.
ENET_8022 The frame uses the standard IEEE format
and includes the IEEE 802.2 LLC header.
This encapsulation is used by NetWare
version 3.12 and 4.x.
ENET_SNAP The frame adds a Subnetwork Access
Protocol (SNAP) header to the IEEE 802.2
LLC header.
