To configure IPX follow these steps
The following steps are required:
1. Configure the PPP link.
2. Configure the routers for IPX.
3. Test the configuration.
4. Save the configuration.
1. Configure the PPP Link
Refer to other sections of this guide on how to configure PPP interface 0 on
each router to use the wide area link.
•See “Point to Point Protocol (PPP)” on page 49 for information about
configuring PPP to use a synchronous link.
•See “Configuring ISDN” on page 55 for information about configuring
PPP to use an ISDN call.
• If the PPP interface is configured for dial-on-demand operation (see
“Configuring ISDN Dial on Demand” on page 60) or bandwidth on
demand operation (see “Configuring ISDN Bandwidth on Demand” on
page 61), these services are automatically used by the IPX routing
software.
2. Configure IPX Routing
To purge the IPX static database to clear any pre-existing IPX configuration
and enable the IPX routing software on each router, enter the commands:
PURGE IPX
ENABLE IPX
On the Head Office router define two IPX circuits, one for the Ethernet
interface and one for the wide area link, by entering the commands:
ADD IPX CIRC=1 INT=ETH0 NETW=401 ENCAP=802.3
ADD IPX CIRC=2 INT=PPP0 NETW=129
To repeat this procedure on the Remote Office router, defining one IPX
circuit for the Ethernet interface and one for the wide area link, enter the
commands:
ADD IPX CIRC=1 INT=ETH0 NETW=12 ENCAP=802.3
ADD IPX CIRC=2 INT=PPP0 NETW=129
The routers are now configured for IPX and can exchange routes and service
information.
