Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is the network protocol used by Novell NetWare networks. This chapter
shows you how to configure the Netopia R7200 for routing data using IPX. You also learn how to configure the
router to serve IPX network addresses.
This section covers the following topics:
■ “IPX features” on page 11-1
■ “IPX definitions” on page 11-1
■ “IPX setup screen” on page 11-3
■ “IPX routing tables” on page 11-5
IPX features
The Netopia R7200 supports the following IPX features:
■ IPX RIP and SAP
■ NetBIOS broadcast packet forwarding (IPX type 20)
■ IPX packet filtering definable by source and destination IPX address and socket number for added security
■ IPX SAP filtering to aid in optimizing WAN bandwidth
■ Dial-on-demand features:
■ Spoofing of IPX keep-alive, SPX, and server serialization packets
■ Configurable RIP/SAP timers on connection profiles
IPX definitions
This section defines IPX-related protocols such as RIP, SAP, and NetBIOS, in addition to other related terms.
See the next section for setup instructions.
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)
IPX is a datagram, connectionless protocol that Novell adapted from Xerox Network System’s (XNS’s) Internet
Datagram Protocol (IDP). IPX is dynamically routed, and the routing architecture works by “learning” network
addressing automatically.
