Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
The IPX WAN network number has to be the same on both ends of the link and must be unique
throughout the internetwork. If the WAN port is configured in a point-to-point operation, both WAN
network numbers have to be the same and unique. If the WAN port is configured for frame relay,
both logical WAN network numbers have to be the same and unique. In a frame relay configuration,
the logical WAN network number has to be the same and unique at both ends of the Permanent
Virtual Circuit (PVC).
The Advanced tab on the IPX Setup dialog box controls the routing of the protocol, enables or
disables auto learn of Ethernet network numbers, specifies the broadcast name of the MultiFRAD,
and defines any IPX filtering by filter type, port number, and IPX address.
If bridging of IPX packets is desired, IPX routing must be disabled and frame type support for the
frame type must be enabled.
If there is a server on the local segment, IPX network number auto learn should be enabled. If there
is no server, or if for some reason the router comes up before the server, the router will default to
some random network numbers after a short interval of time.
