Configuring IPX 15-13Parameter DescriptionsDescriptions of Parameters Common to All Interface TypesBlocked Port Flagcauses the IPX interface to be enabled (N) or disabled (Y) at node IPL. The port willremain in that state until this parameter is changed.Interface TypeSupported types are: Ethernet, 802.5 (Token Ring), X.25, and Frame Relay.Frame TypeTYPE_II matches Novell's Ethernet_II frame type.RAW matches Novell's Ethernet_802.3 frame type.LLC matches Novell's Ethernet_802.2 or Token-Ring frame type.SNAP matches Novell's Ethernet_SNAP or Token-Ring_SNAP frame type.Maximum Transmission Unitis the maximum frame size (in bytes) that can be transmitted or received over the IPXinterface. Any frames larger than the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) will be dis-carded. If the MTU is less than the size of a minimal datagram, the value will auto-matically change to the minimal datagram size.IPX Network Addressidentifies the local interface to the Novell network.Priorityprioritizes this subscriber for intra-nodal traffic; the higher the number, the higher thepriority. (This priority has no effect on traffic exiting a node.)Priorities are configured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame relay port.The device processor in the node uses these priorities to help determine the order inwhich it will process protocols.When configuring priorities, be careful to consider the types oftraffic being routed on other connections in the node.Bandwidth Allocation Groupassigns the IPX interface to one of sixteen groups whose parameters regulate band-width usage. See "Configuring Bandwidth Allocation Groups" on page 7-6.Port Diagnostics Enableddenables or disables the IPX interface's ability to handle Novell Diagnostic packets. Ifenabled, IPX will forward or respond to a diagnostic packet depending on to whom itis addressed. If disabled, IPX will ignore the packet.NetBIOS Enableddetermines whether Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS frames received on the interfacewill be processed. If disabled, NetBIOS frames will be discarded.
