Configuring IPX Routing
How the Pipeline performs IPX routing
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 4-11
IPX in the Answer profile
Before the Pipeline answers an incoming call, it checks the settings in its Answer
profile. If the call does not include the information required by the Answer
profile, the Pipeline hangs up.
Note:
Unlike an IP routing configuration, where the Pipeline uniquely identifies
the calling device by its IP address, an IPX routing configuration does not include
a built-in way to uniquely identify callers. For that reason, password
authentication is required unless IP routing is configured in the same Connection
profile.
To set the Answer profile parameters that enable incoming IPX routing calls:
1
Open the Ethernet > Answer > PPP Options menu.
2
Turn on IPX routing:
Route IPX=Yes
3
Turn on authentication.
For example:
Recv Auth=Either
For more information about setting up password authentication, see
Chapter 7, “Setting Up Pipeline Security.”
To apply an IPX SAP filter profile to the Answer profile:
4
Open the Ethernet > Answer > Session options submenu.
5
Specify the number of the IPX SAP filter profile you have defined.
You apply an IPX SAP filter profile by specifying the unique part of the
number it is assigned in the IPX SAP Filters menu (such as 1, 2, 3,...). For
example:
IPX SAP Filter=1
For details, see “Managing IPX SAP filters” on page 4-21.
