Configuring IPX Routing
Adding the Pipeline to the local IPX network
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 4-13
The “Load” line specifies the packet frame being used by this server’s Ethernet
controller (in this example, 802.3 frames). If you are not familiar with the
concept of packet frames, see your NetWare documentation.
Note:
IPX network numbers on each network segment, and internal network
within any server, on the entire WAN must each have a unique network number.
So you should know the external and internal network numbers in use at all sites.
Configuring IPX on the Pipeline Ethernet interface
By default, when you turn on IPX routing in the Pipeline and close the Ethernet
profile, the Pipeline comes up in IPX routing mode, uses the default frame type
802.2 (which is the suggested frame type for NetWare 3.12 or later), and listens
on the Ethernet to acquire its IPX network number from other IPX routers on that
segment.
To turn on IPX routing in the Pipeline:
1
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config profile.
2
Turn on IPX routing:
IPX Routing=Yes
To specify the IPX frame type:
1
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options.
2
Select the IPX frame type.
For example:
IPX Frame=802.2
Note:
Make sure that the type you choose is consistent with the frame type
in use by most servers on the local network.
To allow the Pipeline to learn its IPX network number:
1
Set the IPX Enet number to zero.
IPX Enet #=00000000
This causes the Pipeline to listen for its network number and acquire it from
another router. Or you can enter an IPX network number other than zero, for
example:
