7-4 LAN-to-LAN Routin

Note: Some routing devices have an IP address assigned to

each interface rather than just one IP address for the entire

device. If this is the case with the remote device, use the

address of the interface you want to connect to.

• The remote access protocol (PPP or SLIP) the NETServer

will use

• The remote system’s netmask

• The MTU for PPP is 1500, and is negotiated between the

client and the NETServer. If the client uses SLIP, the

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is 1006, and should

match on both sides of the connection

• Whether or not the remote device is configured TCP/IP

(Van Jacobson) compression

IPX Routing

You can configure the user profile to specify a unique IPX

network number that will represent the link between NETServer

and the remote device for the duration of the connection, or you

can configure the NETServer to assign an IPX network number

from a pool.

You should know:

• IPX remote access sessions must use the PPP protocol.

• The MTU for IPX is 1500 and is negotiated between the

remote device and the NETServer

AppleTalk Routing

AppleTalk routing is performed over PPP. You must assign an

AppleTalk network range to each end of the connection.
