Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
The IPX WAN network number has to be the same on both ends of the link and must be unique
throughout the internetwork. If the WAN port is configured in a point to point configuration, both WAN
network numbers have to be the same and unique. If the WAN port is configured in a frame relay
configuration, both virtual WAN numbers have to be the same and unique. In a frame relay
configuration, the logical WAN network number has to be the same and unique at both ends of the
Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC).
The Advanced IPX Setup dialog box controls the routing of the protocol and auto learn of Ethernet
network numbers, defines the broadcast name of the MultiFRAD, and IPX filtering.
If bridging of IPX packets is desired, IPX routing must be disabled and frame type support for the
frame type must be enabled.
If there is a server on the local segment, then IPX network number auto learn should be enabled. If
there is no server, or if for some reason the router comes up before the server, the router will default
to some random network numbers after a short period of time.
