IPX Protocols
The hub supports the following IPX protocols:
IPX Protocol Function
SNMP
(Simple Network Management
Protocol)
Functions the same as SNMP over IP. All SNMP features available over IP
are available over IPX. Novells ManageWise uses SNMP over IPX to
manage HMI hubs, which the hub emulates.
IPX Diagnostics
Allows a node to report which IPX functions it supports. The hub supports
IPX Diagnostics to be compatible with Novells NetExplorer server, a part of
ManageWise.
SAP (Service Advertising Protocol)
Allows a node to advertise which IPX services it supports. The hub
advertises two services:
•
HMI services (SAP ID 0x0239) Causes ManageWise to recognize
the hub as a manageable repeater
•
Netelligent services (SAP ID 0xAF05) Can be used to select an
icon for display on the ManageWise segment map
NetWare servers store the available service in the Bindery from which
other servers and management applications, such as ManageWise, can
query it.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
Allows IPX nodes to exchange routing information. The hub uses RIPs to
determine the IPX number(s) and Ethernet frame type(s) of its local
segment; determines how to route SNMP/IPX traps; and supports IPX
autodiscovery.
