78 Novell IPX Configuration
There are two different scenarios in which you would connect your
Prestige to a LAN: one with a server (server side), and one without
a server (client side).
Figure 8-1 Prestige Operating in IPX Environment
Prestige on LAN with Server
When the Prestige is being connected to a LAN with an
existing NetWare server station, you will not need to configure
the Prestige as a seed router, and hence the network number
parameter in the Ethernet Setup Menu for the Prestige. Rather,
the Prestige will learn the network number of the network it is
attached to through the regular RIP broadcasts sent by the
server and add this route to its routing table.
Prestige on LAN without Server
If the Prestige is connected to a LAN without an existing
NetWare server station, then it needs to create a unique
external network number to apply to that frame on the LAN.
