Encaps=PPP
Route IPX=No
Bridge=Yes
Dial Brdcast=Yes
Note: Enable Dial Brdcast to allow service queries to bring up the connection.
5 Configure password authentication. For example:
Encaps options...
Send Auth=CHAP
Recv PW=localpw
Send PW=remotepw
6 Specify IPX client bridging:
IPX options...
Handle IPX=Client
7 Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Example of an IPX server bridge (local servers)
In this example, the local network supports a combination of NetWare clients and servers, and
the remote network supports clients only, so the MAX unit requires IPX server bridging. When
Handle IPX=Server, the unit applies a data filter that discards RIP and SAP broadcasts at its
WAN interface, but forwards RIP and SAP queries. It also uses the value specified by the
Netware t/o parameter as the time limit for responding to NCP watchdog requests on behalf of
clients on the other side of the bridge.
Figure 14-5. An example of an IPX server bridged connection
To configure the Site A MAX unit in this example:
1 Make sure that the Name parameter in the System > Sys Config profile specifies a name
for the MAX unit. This example uses the name SITEAGW for the unit.
2 Specify the IPX frame type in the Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options profile. For
example:
Ethernet
Mod Config
Ether options...
IPX Frame=802.3
