OUTING
This chapter shows how to configure units to route 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), which was covered in
Chapter 3, and must not be confused with it.
Configuration steps are given for:
■ Manual configuration of the central site router.
■ Manual configuration of the remote router.
■ Remote configuration of the remote router from the central site.
Novell IPX Routing
IPX routing is necessary for transferring data between two Novell
Netware
®
networks which have different IPX network numbers.
Configuration Options
When configuring a unit to route IPX packets using a dial-up ISDN
link between a central site and one or more remote sites, the central
site should be configured manually first.
The Quick Configuration facility is not recommended for configuring
IPX routing.
The remote site unit should be configured manually, either by direct
cable connection to the serial manager port, or by utilizing the
remote configuration facility (REM) of the central site unit.
