Configuring a Novell IPX Network
The router’s implementation of the Novell IPX protocol uses the term circuit to
refer to a logical connection over an interface, similar to an X.25 permanent
virtual circuit (PVC) or a Frame Relay Data Link Connection (DLC). The term
interface refers to the underlying physical interface, such as VLAN, Ethernet,
Point-to-Point (PPP) and Frame Relay.
Before You Start
1. Collect the information that you will need to configure IPX. Pay particular
attention to the following points:
Each network in a Novell internet, including all LANs and WAN links,
must be assigned a network number. Novell file servers also have an
internal network number. These network numbers must be unique
across the Novell internet—no two networks or file servers may use the
same network number. All devices attached to a network must use the
same network number to refer to the network. Check to see what
numbers your file servers are using. Many schemes exist to ensure that
numbers are kept unique, for example, using the hexadecimal
representation of the IP address or the telephone number of each
location.
All routers, file servers and workstations attached to an Ethernet LAN
must use the same Ethernet encapsulation or frame type. Table 12 on
page 111 lists the Novell frame type and the equivalent AR400 router
encapsulation. You can determine the file server name, internal
network number, Ethernet frame type and Ethernet network number
used by a Novell file server, by interrogating the file server itself. From
the management console attached to the Novell file server, at the system
console prompt type the command “config” and record the values of
the fields “File server name”, “IPX internal network number”, “Frame
type” and “LAN protocol”. You can also access the system console by
running the console utility from any workstation logged in as
supervisor. For more details, contact your local Novell network
administrator or refer to the Novell documentation.
2. Ensure that the routers you want to configure are connected as described in
the Quick Install Guide.
3. Connect a terminal to the console port (port 0) on each router as described
in the in the Quick Install Guide. Alternatively, you can connect a PC to the
console port and use a terminal emulation program like Windows™
Terminal.
4. Login to the MANAGER account on each router. (see “Logging In” on
page 15)
