802.2
Enables IEEE 802.2 logical link control encapsulation. The 802.2 encapsulation
method prefixes one octet of destination service access point identification, one
octet of source service access point identification, and one octet of control
information to the IPX packet. The 802.2 packet, in turn, will be encapsulated
within a packet specific to the cable type. For media other than 802.3 (ThinLAN,
ThickLAN, and EtherTwist), an encapsulation method is implicitly chosen.
Ethernet
Enables Ethernet 2.0 encapsulation. Ethernet encapsulation prefixes an eight-octet
preamble, six octets of destination-address information, and two octets of protocol
type information (hexadecimal 8137) to the IPX packet. It appends a four-octet
frame check sequence to the packet.
Novell
Enables Novell proprietary encapsulation. Novell encapsulation prefixes and eight-
octet preamble, six octets of destination-address information, six octets of source-
address information, and two octets of packet-length information to the
unchecksummed IPX packet. It appends a four-octet frame check sequence to the
packet.
Host lists
Displays a screen with parameters for creating a Host list. For information about
creating a Host list, refer to “Host Number (low)” and “Host Number (high)” later
in this chapter. For information about assigning the Host list to a filter, refer to
“Dest Host (low)” and “Source Host (low).”
Host Number (high)
Sets the upper boundary of the range for filtering IPX source or destination hosts
when creating a Host list.
Options
Leave this field blank and enter the IPX host number in the Host Number (low)
field if you are filtering a single IPX source or destination host.
Enter the highest IPX host number in the range if you are filtering a range of IPX
source or destination hosts.
For additional information, refer to “Host Number (low)” later in this chapter. To
learn how to assign a Host list to a filter, refer to “Dest Host (low)” and “Source
Host (low).”
Host Number (low)
Sets the lower boundary of the range for filtering IPX source or destination hosts
when creating a Host list.
Options
Enter the IPX host number in this field and leave the Host Number (high) field
blank if you are filtering a single IPX source or destination host.
Enter the lowest IPX host number in this field and enter the highest host number
in the Host Number (high) field if you are filtering a range of IPX source or
destination hosts.
