LAN Protocols
Note: It is not necessary to configure the LCS60’s Ethernet interface for
AppleTalk. The LCS60 is not a seed router on the Ethernet. It will
discover the network range and the zones assigned to the Ethernet by
another router and will dynamically acquire a unique AppleTalk node
address within the assigned network number range.
IPX Protocol
The IPX protocol is used to connect hosts in a Novell network.
The LCS60 can be used as an IPX router connecting the Ethernet LAN to a virtual
IPX network via PPP. The virtual IPX network created by the LCS60 permits as
many as 120 remote end hosts to dial in over the data switch and connect to the
Novell network. The virtual network on the LCS60 supports a single network
number.
IPX Virtual Network Assignment
The LCS60 supports dynamic address assignment within a virtual network of IPX
over PPP clients. (Refer to Figure 1-3.) Upon dialing into the LCS60, the PPP
client is assigned an available IPX address automatically. The client then
becomes part of the virtual IPX network configured on the LCS60; no special
dialstring options are used.
