Cabletron Systems 1800 Switch User Manual


 
Configuring IPX 15-15
Serialization Enabled
determines whether NetWare file server serialization security frames will be for-
warded on the interface. These broadcast frames are used by Novell to hold infor-
mation regarding the licensing of the file server executables.
Disabling serialization allows filtering of these broadcasts to reduce WAN traffic, and
is not intended to interfere with copyright-protection mechanisms.
Watchdog Spoofing Enabled
determines whether this interface will be used by the local node to respond to "keep-
alive" messages on behalf of the client workstations. Novell servers periodically issue
these messages to all clients, to determine whether each client is still available.
Descriptions of Parameters Specific to Frame Relay Interfaces
IPXWAN Enabled
determines whether Novell's IPXWAN protocol will be used on the interface.
IPXWAN specifies a method for IPX routers to communicate across WAN links. The
SmartSwitch 1800 implements IPXWAN running over RFC 1490-compliant frame
relay and RFC1356-compliant X.25.
Source Card/Port/DLCI
identifies the location of this end of the frame relay IPX interface. Note that there is
no
Source Card
, but the software code is shared with the Netlink FRX6000, which
does have a card.
Make sure the physical frame relay port is not reserved for
backup DLCIs (as determined by the
For Backup Use Only?
parameter in the port record).
Also make sure the DLCI is not part of a frame relay DLCI backup
group or frame relay PVC.
Descriptions of Parameters Specific to X.25 Interfaces
IPXWAN Enabled
determines whether Novell's IPXWAN protocol will be used on the interface.
IPXWAN specifies a method for IPX routers to communicate across WAN links. The
SmartSwitch 1800 implements IPXWAN running over RFC 1490-compliant frame
relay and RFC1356-compliant X.25.
Source Subscriber
is a subscriber ID that defines an IPX interface in the node, by associating itself with
port
66
(a number reserved for the IPX interface). (See the footnote following Table
15-8.)
Destination Subscriber
is a subscriber ID associated with the physical X.25 port that will be used for the IPX
interface. (See the footnote following Table 15-8.)
SVC Retry Timer
is the frequency with which calls will be placed to try to establish a connection.
