IPX
IPX protocol accepts data from remote devices and formats the data for transmission onto the
network, and conversely, accepts data from the LAN and formats it so remote devices can
understand it. In short, IPX allows remote devices and their servers to communicate.
The SFVRA-CONN supports the standard method of routing datagrams over a network. The
system provides bandwidth management features to make the interconnection of IPX networks
cost effective over demand type connections like ISDN. Additional security features provide data
privacy for networks using IPX that are connected by the system.
IPX O
PTION BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol is a datagram, connectionless protocol in the
NetWare environment analogous to the Internet Protocol (IP) in the TCP/IP environment. With the
help of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Service Advertising Protocol (SAP), the IPX router
performs the network layer tasks of addressing, routing and switching information packets, to
move packets from one location to another in a complex network.
The SFVRA-CONN supports the standard method of routing Novell

IPX datagrams over an
internetwork. The system provides bandwidth management features to make the interconnection
of IPX networks cost effective over demand type connections like ISDN. Additional security
features provide data privacy for Novell networks connected by the system.
