Configuring IPX 15-13
Parameter Descriptions
Descriptions of Parameters Common to All Interface Types
Blocked Port Flag
causes the IPX interface to be enabled (
N
) or disabled (
Y
) at node IPL. The port will
remain in that state until this parameter is changed.
Interface Type
Supported types are: Ethernet, 802.5 (Token Ring), X.25, and Frame Relay.
Frame Type
TYPE_II
matches Novell's Ethernet_II frame type.
RAW
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.3 frame type.
LLC
matches Novell's Ethernet_802.2 or Token-Ring frame type.
SNAP
matches Novell's Ethernet_SNAP or Token-Ring_SNAP frame type.
Maximum Transmission Unit
is the maximum frame size (in bytes) that can be transmitted or received over the IPX
interface. Any frames larger than the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) will be dis-
carded. If the MTU is less than the size of a minimal datagram, the value will auto-
matically change to the minimal datagram size.
IPX Network Address
identifies the local interface to the Novell network.
Priority
prioritizes this subscriber for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher the
priority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)
Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port.
The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order in
which it will process protocols.
When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types of
traffic being routed on other connections in the node.
Bandwidth Allocation Group
assigns the IPX interface to one of sixteen groups whose parameters regulate band-
width usage. See "Configuring Bandwidth Allocation Groups" on page 7-6.
Port Diagnostics Enabled
denables or disables the IPX interface's ability to handle Novell Diagnostic packets. If
enabled, IPX will forward or respond to a diagnostic packet depending on to whom it
is addressed. If disabled, IPX will ignore the packet.
NetBIOS Enabled
determines whether Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS frames received on the interface
will be processed. If disabled, NetBIOS frames will be discarded.
