RIDGING
This chapter shows how to configure units to bridge Internet Packet
Exchange (IPX) Protocol data packets between two networks, using
ISDN.
Note that the IPX protocol, although similarly named, is completely
different from the Internet Protocol (IP) and must not be confused
with it.
Configuration steps are given for:
■ Manual configuration of the central site unit.
■ Quick Configuration of the remote unit.
■ Remote configuration of the remote unit from the central site.
Novell IPX Bridging
Novell Netware
®
has a software router built into the Novell server
that leads to an internal network which links the file server and other
services. The presence of this internal software router means that a
Novell Netware network can never be an entirely bridged network,
“bridging” actually takes place only between networks that have the
same Novell network number.
Configuration Options
When configuring a unit to bridge IPX packets using a dial-up ISDN
link between a central site and one or more remote sites, it is
recommended that the central site should be configured manually
first.
