Remote Access Protocols
Compressed IPX Header (CIPX)
Negotiation of the IPX header compression option is defined in RFC1553. If your
client package supports Compressed IPX Headers (CIPX), then configure this
feature on your PC. The size of each packet can shrink up to 34 bytes, thereby
giving your PPP session a significant performance boost.
AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol (ARAP)
ARAP is used to obtain direct access to AppleTalk resources at remote locations.
The LCS60 uses ARAP to provide connection between the CommKit Host Inter-
face and Ethernet-connected AppleTalk devices.
A remote user can dial into the LCS60 through the data switch, request ARAP
service, and receive the AppleTalk network and node number automatically.
The remote user can access AppleShare and remote printer spooling services in
various zones in the network.
Refer to Chapter 6 for configuration of the LCS60 for ARAP service.
Multiple IP Subnetworks
IP Routing
The LCS60 acts as an IP router with multiple IP network interfaces. Figure 1-4
shows an example of how an LCS60 might be configured, defining four virtual IP
subnetworks. Each interface has a unique IP subnetwork number that represents
a LAN segment. These numbers are allocated by the Network Administrator
during configuration of the LCS60.
