Chapter 14Configuring IPXIntroductionThe FRM supports connections to Novell IPX networks, for the purpose of routingtraffic among LAN-attached workstations and local/remote servers, over frame relayor X.25, or between local LANs.IPX support includes:l Connection of LAN-attached workstation to remote router or server via X.25,frame relay, Ethernet, or Token Ringl Filtering of certain types of traffic, for traffic control and access securitybetween the LAN and WANl Support of IPX versions of RIP (routing information protocol), SAP (serviceadvertising protocol), periodic RIP, periodic SAPl Dynamic and static routingl NetBIOS™ supportl RFC 1490 encapsulationRequired ConfigurationTo run IPX in an FRM, make sure the following are properly configured in thedatabase:l Node parameters, which is general configuration that must be done no matterwhich protocols will be run in the node. See Chapter 4.l RLPs that will contain the interface(s) to the user device(s), plus Line InterfaceCard(s) supporting the ports that will be the interfaces. See Chapter 5.l Loaded Protocol(s): IPX, and the transport protocol: frame relay or X.25. SeeChapter 5.l LAN interface(s) that will connect to any attached LAN(s). See Chapter 5.l Frame relay port(s) and/or X.25 port(s) that will connect to a network or framerelay PVC. See Chapter 7 (frame relay) or Chapter 8 (X.25).l IPX parameters described in this chapter.
