4. To change the default path delay, select Ethernet Path Delay
and enter a value (in ticks). This value is used to determine the
port cost of using the Ethernet port in IPX RIP calculations.
5. To enable NetBIOS packet forwarding, select Ethernet NetBIOS
Forwarding and toggle it to Yes. This parameter will determine
whether “IPX Packet type 20” packets are forwarded on the
Ethernet interface. These packets are used by NetBIOS and
some other applications.
6. Select Ethernet Inbound SAP Filter Set to filter incoming IPX
SAP advertisements on the Ethernet. By attaching an incoming
SAP filter on the Ethernet, you can restrict the number of SAP
entries learned on a large IPX network to only those required by
remote users connecting to the Netopia Router. An Ethernet
SAP filter
must
be used with networks that have so many
servers advertised that the Netopia Router would otherwise
exhaust its internal memory storing server entries.
To attach a SAP filter set, first define the filter set using the
Filters and Filter Sets option (see step 8 below). Then select
the filter set from the Ethernet Incoming SAP Filter Set pop-up
menu. To detach the filter set, select Detach Filter Set.
7. Select Default Gateway Address, and enter the network
address of the IPX network to which all packets of unknown
destination address should be routed.
Note: The Default Gateway Address is usually set up to match
the IPX Address in your network Connection Profile.
8. To configure filters and filter sets, select Filters and Filter Sets
and go to the IPX filters and filter sets screens. For information
on how to configure IPX filters and filter sets, see “IPX filters”
on page 5-8.
9. Select IPX Wan Pool Base Address and enter the first IPX
network address to be allocated to requesting IPX WAN clients.
The base address you enter must not conflict with other IPX
networks assigned to your IPX internet.
