Configuring IPX Routing
How the Pipeline performs IPX routing
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 4-5
The IPX Options submenu in the Answer profile contains the Peer parameter
which enables the Pipeline to route to dial-in NetWare clients when the client has
no configured profile. The Peer parameter is set to Router by default, which tells
the Pipeline to negotiate inbound IPX calls as if the far end is a router. The Dialin
setting tells the Pipeline to negotiate inbound IPX calls as if the far end is a dial-
in NetWare client.
The following list shows the Peer parameter as well as other required parameters:
Answer
Profile Reqd=No
IPX options...
Peer=Dialin
PPP options...
Route IPX=Yes
Mod Config
Ether options...
IPX Enet#=cffff123
IPX Pool#=cf000888
Required settings
When enabling this feature, consider the following:
• Calls for which no Connection profile is found must be answered.
The call might require authentication, or use SecureID passwords.
The dial-in client must be running PPP software.
• IPX routing must be enabled in the PPP Options submenu of the Answer
profile, and the IPX network number of the router’s Ethernet interface must
be configured in the Ethernet profile.
• Specify an IPX Pool number in the Ethernet profile, so that the Pipeline can
route to dial-in clients.
The network number must be unique within the entire IPX routing domain of
the Pipeline (the local routing domain as well as all WAN links). This is a
“virtual” IPX network reserved for dial-in clients. If the client does not
provide its own unique node number, the Pipeline assigns a unique node
number to the client as well.
Note:
The Pipeline does not send RIP and SAP advertisements across the
connection and ignores RIP and SAP advertisements received from the far
