Possible and Recommended Configurations for IPX
interfaces dynamically, but not the same way it can be done with
static routes/services. When choosing classic WAN links and classic
ISDN interface usage with a routing protocol, you never set a Dis-
connect Timeout. Besides that, you have different possibilities for
configuring your Call Destinations. When choosing dynamic ISDN
interface usage with a routing protocol, the methods for call set-up
and clear-down are different when compared with the two methods
that come with static routes/services, i.e. logical ISDN connection
set-up by network protocol request and logical ISDN connection
clear-down by Disconnect Timeout. With routing protocols, you use
manual methods (CALLMGR on the router or via RCONSOLE) or,
for IPX also batch routines (CICC from any IPX client or batch
routines) for initial ISDN connection set-up. The remote site is only
known to your local site after initial logical ISDN connection set-up,
since at that time, routing protocol information is exchanged and
tables maintaining routes and services are build the very first time.
To clear down a logical ISDN connection and to release the ISDN
interface, you can use CALLMGR, CICC or Disconnect Timeout.
When the logical ISDN connection is cleared, the remote networks
"disappear" as well, i.e. entries about routes and services of the
remote network are cleared.
Figure 4-1 shows the IPX protocol configuration and connection
handling and should help you to get an overview of the configura-
tion possibilities for IPX.
