Configuring the Cajun Switch as an IPX Router
IPX Overview
The Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol is a connectionless protocol that
performs datagram delivery and routing in Novell NetWare networks. Each IPX address
consists of three parts:
❒
Network Number
— A 32-bit (8 characters) number that is normally assigned by
the network administrator.
❒
Node Number
— A 48-bit (12 characters) number that is normally the MAC layer
address of the physical interface.
❒
Socket Number
— A number used to route packets to different processes within
the same node.
The syntax of the IPX address is:
network node socket
For example:
000000AAh 00e03b124213h 4003h
where
000000AAh
is the network number,
00e03b124213h
is the node number, and
4003h
is the socket number associated with a running process on the end node (for example,
RIP, NetWare Link State Protocol (NLSP)).
