Configuring IPX Routing
Adding the Pipeline to the local IPX network
4-14 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
IPX Enet #=C90AB997
Note:
If you specify an IPX network number other than zero, the Pipeline
becomes a “seeding” router and other routers can learn their number from
the Pipeline. In that case, make sure that the number you enter is the same
one used by other IPX routers on the same network. (For more information
about seeding routers, see your NetWare documentation.)

Close and save the Ethernet > Mod Config profile.
You can IPXPing the Pipeline from a NetWare server or client to verify that it has
acquired its IPX address and is up and running on the network.
IPX SAP proxy servers
Some networks are designed to prevent the propagation of RIP and SAP packets.
The IPX SAP proxy parameter lets you point to an IPX SAP proxy server. To
ensure that remote users can connect, there are three default IPX SAP proxy
servers in the Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether options menu.
Using IPXping to check the configuration
The IPXPing command enables you to verify the transmission path to NetWare
stations at the network layer. It works on the same LAN as the Pipeline or across
a WAN connection that has IPX routing enabled.
Enter the IPXping command in this format:
ipxping hostname
where hostname is either the IPX address of the NetWare workstation or the
advertised name of a server. The IPX address consists of the IPX network and
node numbers for a station, as in:
ipxping CFFF1234:000000000001
If you are using IPXping to verify connectivity with an advertised NetWare
server, you can simply enter the name of the server, as in:
ipxping server-1
You can terminate the IPXping at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
