78 Novell IPX Configuration
Novell IPX Configuration
This chapter shows you how to configure the Prestige for IPX.
Depending on your particular applications, you will need to
configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration
for some applications in the following sections.
IPX Network Environment
Frame Type
The stations on an IPX network (both clients and servers) can run
on four different frame types existing on one physical Ethernet
cable. These frame types include 802.2, 802.3, Ethernet II (DIX),
and SNAP.
Network Numbers
Whenever you are setting up an IPX routing environment, it is
important to correctly configure the network numbers on the LAN.
On any IPX network, there is an external network number that is,
the number associated with the frame type on the Ethernet cable to
which the stations on the network are joined. In addition to this
external network number, each NetWare server has its own
internal network number. It is important to remember that every
network number has to be unique for that entire internetwork. So if
a server station had an internal network number of 00000011, there
is no other network number (internal or external) of 00000011
anywhere on the entire network.
