Configuring IPX Routing
Adding the Pipeline to the local IPX network
4-12 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
Adding the Pipeline to the local IPX network
To connect the Pipeline to your local IPX network, you must perform the
following tasks:
• Turn on IPX routing.
• Specify the IPX frame type the Pipeline will route and watchdog spoof.
• Specify the Pipeline IPX network number (or allow it to learn the number
from other routers).
In addition, you might want to define an IPX network number for dial-in clients.
Checking local NetWare configurations
IPX packets are supported in more than one Ethernet frame type on an Ethernet
segment. However, the Pipeline can only route and perform watchdog spoofing
for the IPX frame type you specify. (It will bridge other IPX packet types if
bridging is enabled.)
To check the IPX configuration of a NetWare server on the local Ethernet:
1
Go to the NetWare server’s console.
2
Type LOAD INSTALL to view the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
3
Look for lines similar to these:
internal network 1234
Bind ipx ipx-card net=CF0123FF
Load 3c509 name=ipx-card frame=ETHERNET_8023
The first line specifies the internal network number of the server. If you are not
familiar with internal network numbers, see your NetWare documentation. The
Pipeline does not require internal network numbers.
The “Bind” line specifies the IPX network number in use on the Ethernet. The
Pipeline must use the same IPX network number for its Ethernet interface. You
can specify the number explicitly in the Pipeline Ethernet profile, or leave the
Pipeline number set to zero to enable it to “learn” the number from other routers.
