Configuring IPX Routing
How the Pipeline performs IPX routing
4-8 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
IPX Type 20 packet propagation support
Some applications, such as NetBIOS, use IPX Type 20 packets to broadcast
names over a network. By default, these broadcasts are not propagated over
routed links (as Novell recommends), and are not forwarded over links that have
less than 1 Mbps throughput.
Since the Pipeline cannot support these types of applications, you can change the
setting of IPX Type 20 packet propagation to Yes if required.
To support IPX Type 20 propagation:
1
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options
2
Set Handle IPX Type20 to Yes.
Dial Query
Dial Query is a Connection profile parameter that instructs the Pipeline to bring
up that connection when it receives a SAP query for service type 0004 (a file
server) when that service type is not present in the Pipeline SAP table. If the
Pipeline has no SAP table entry for service type 0004, it brings up every
connection that has Dial Query set to Yes. For example, if five Connection
profiles have Dial Query set to Yes, the Pipeline brings up all five connections in
response to the query.
Note:
If the Pipeline has a static IPX route to a remote server, it will bring up
that connection instead of the more costly solution of bringing up every
connection that has Dial Query set.
To configure Dial Query, open Ethernet

Options:
Peer=Dialin
(used for dynamic addressing)
IPX RIP=None
IPX SAP=Send
Dial Query=No
Handle IPX=Client
(used for IPX client bridging)
Netware t/o=30
(watchdog spoofing)
