Defining a routing protocol
The Connection profile includes parameters for defining IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and OSPF
routing. You enable any of these routing protocols by setting a top-level Connection profile
parameter: RouteIP, RouteIPX, or Route AppleTalk. You specify the characteristics of routing
behavior in the following subprofiles: IP Options, IPX Options, AppleTalk Options, and OSPF
Options.
Table 5-1 summarizes the routing parameter options available in the Connection profile’s
routing subprofiles.

Routing subprofile
Function and related parameters
IP Options
When Route IP is set to Yes, this subprofile defines:
•
The IP address and subnet mask of the remote device (the LAN
Adrs parameter).
•
The remote address of the link’s remote interface to the WAN
(the WAN Alias parameter).
•
A numbered interface IP address (the IF Adrs parameter).
•
Whether the LAN address should be disclosed in RIP queries
(the Private parameter).
•
RIP characteristics (the RIP, Metric, and Preference
parameters).
•
Dynamic IP addressing (the Pool parameter).
•
Multicasting characteristics (the Multicast Client, Multicast
Rate Limit, and Multicast Grp Leave Delay parameters).
•
Address resolution service characteristics, including Domain
Name Service (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service
(WINS). The related parameters are Client Pri DNS, Client Sec
DNS, Client Assign DNS, Client Pri WINS, Client Sec WINS,
and Client Assign WINS.
IPX Options
When IPX Routing is set to Yes, this subprofile defines:
•
Whether the remote caller is a router or a dial-in client (the Peer
parameter).
•
How packets are handled across the connection (the IPX RIP
and IPX SAP parameters).
•
Whether the MAX places a call to the number indicated in the
Connection profile when a workstation on the local IPX
network looks for the nearest IPX server (the Dial Query
parameter).
•
The network number of the remote-end router (the IPX Net#
parameter) and the network number assigned to a point-to-point
link (the IPX Alias# parameter).
