7-14 LAN-to-LAN Routin

IPX Routing

Sets the level of IPX RIP messaging that the two devices will

exchange during the connection. The default is none.

Listen Listen for IPX RIP packets destined for this

NETServer's networks

Send Send IPX RIP packets destined for the remote

network

Both Listen for IPX RIP packets destined for this

NETServer's networks and send IPX RIP packets

destined for the remote network

None Ignore all IPX RIP packets

Note: If IPX routing is set to none, you will need to enter static

routes to networks that aren't directly connected.

IPX WAN

This protocol is used when two IPX networks wish to negotiate

the IPX network number for the WAN connection. Both ends of

the WAN connection must enable this protocol for it to work.

The default is disable.

Spoofing

Some network protocols send frequent packets for management

purposes. These can be routing updates or keep-alive messages.

In a WAN this can introduce significant overhead, due to the

typically smaller bandwidth of WAN connections.

Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices,

such as bridges or routers, answer for the remote devices. This

fools (spoofs) the LAN device into thinking the remote LAN is

still connected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves the

WAN bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the

WAN.

Spoofing is proprietary. This means that both ends of the

routing connection must be U.S. Robotics routers for spoofing to

work. The default is disable.
