IPX Routing Network Protocol
System Names and Authentication Passwords
For the Target Router
This information is defined by the user.
You must
choose a name and authentication password for the target router. They are used by a remote
router to authenticate the target router.
For the Remote Site(s)
This information is obtained from the Network Service Provider.
For each remote site, you must
have the site name and its authentication password. They are used by this
target router to authenticate the remote end. The name and password are used in both PAP and CHAP
authentication. Please refer to the diagram on page 19
to see how this information is used.
Note 1:
A sample configuration containing Names and Passwords is provided in the section
Sample
Configurations,
Chapter 3
Note 2:
If the ISP does not support the authentication of the ISP system by the caller, use the command
remote disauthen
<
remoteName
> to disable the authentication.
VPI and VCI Numbers
Your router may have been preconfigured with VPI/VCI numbers. If not, you will have to obtain these
numbers from your Network Service Provider and then configure them.
If you are connecting to multiple remote sites, you will need to obtain additional VPI and VCI numbers
from your Network Service Provider and/or Network Access Provider. These numbers identify the
remote destination and must, therefore, be unique for each remote.
DLCI (for Frame Relay routers)
The DLCI number applies to Frame Relay routers only.
Your Network Service Provider or your Network Access Provider will provide you with a DLCI (Data
Link Connection Identifier). The DLCI is an address identifying your connection.
IPX Routing Entries
These numbers are defined by the Network Administrator.
You will need to obtain the following information (most likely from your network administrator) for IPX
Routing.
Note: IPX routes
define a path
to a specific destination. They are primarily needed by the routers to
allow the servers and clients to exchange packets. A path to a file server will be based on the Internal
Network Number of the server.
A path to a client will be based on the External Network Number
(Ethernet) of the client.
