Chapter 1

Starting IPX Services

IPX is the network-layer routing protocol used in the NetWare environment. The primary tasks of IPX are addressing, routing, and switching information packets from one location to another on a network.

If you are already familiar with IPX and want to get the protocol up and running quickly, follow the steps below to start IPX using Bay Networks default settings. You supply only the necessary configuration settings and accept all other default settings.

For conceptual information on IPX, refer to Chapter 2. For information on customizing the way IPX runs on the router to meet your needs, refer to Chapters 3 through 5. For information on changing the default settings, refer to Appendix B.

Starting the Conf iguration Tools

Before configuring IPX services, refer to the following user guides for instructions on how to start and use the Bay Networks configuration tool of your choice.

Configuring IPX Services

Starting IPX

IPX can operate over LAN or WAN media. This section describes how to get IPX and, optionally, IPXWAN services up and running on a circuit. We assume that you have read Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager.

Using the BCC

Decide where you want IPX to operate.

IPX can run:

• Globally on the router

• On an individual interface

• Over a WAN protocol

Start IPX with supplied default values.

• Globally on the router: To start IPX globally on the router, navigate to the box level prompt and

enter:

1-2

box#

ipx

• On an interface:

Configure a physical interface on an available slot/connector.

To configure a physical interface on a slot and connector, navigate to the top-level box prompt and enter:

interface_type

interface_type is the name of a link module on the router. slot_number is the number of the slot on which the link module is

located. connector_number is the number of a connector on the link module. After you configure a physical interface, the BCC returns a prompt

that specifies your current working location. For example, the following command configures an Ethernet interface on slot 1, connector 2:

box#

ethernet slot 1 connector 2

ethernet/1/2#

slot_number

info command. For example, on a LAN

1-4

To determine what other services you can enable under IPX, enter the help

tree

command and the BCC will display available services. For example, if

you configure IPX on a LAN interface and enter the

help tree command, you

will get the fo llowing results:

ipx/19d7e712# help tree

The configuration tree below this context is: rip sap static-route adjacent-host static-service route-filter server-network-filter server-name-filter

117369-B Rev. 00

Each service under IPX has configurable attributes. To determine what these

arrtibutes are, enter the service name followed by a question mark. The BCC

supplies return s any infor mation required to configu re the service, as well as a

list of configurable attributes. For example, to determine what settings you

must supply to co nfigur e a s tatic r oute, enter the

you will get the following results:

ipx/19d7e712# static-route ?

Usage: "static-route target-network <value> next-hop-host <value>"

Or: "static-route <target-network>/<next-hop-host>"

Parameters of static-route: hops on target-network next-hop-host state ticks

You must use this command for each service available under IPX.

Using Site Manager

To start IPX using Site Manager, follow these steps:

Select Configuration Manager in local, remote, or dynamic mode from

the Tools menu.

Starting IPX Services

static-route ? command and

117369-B Rev. 00

The Configuration Manager window appears.

Open a configur ation file if local or remote mode is selected.

Select the circuit you want to configure.

If this is a local mode configuration, specify router hardware.

Select a protocol.

If you are running IPX over a WAN, select a WAN protocol (usually PPP or

frame relay ).

Note:

Selecting frame relay, PPP, or SMDS on a WAN circuit automatically

enables pr otocol prio ritization.

1-5

Configuring IPX Services

Select IPX or RIP/SAP (which automaticall y selects IPX as well) fr om the

Select Protocols window.

If you selected RIP/SAP from the Selec t Protocol s window, the router enables

both RIP and SAP services using their default values. To change any of these

default values, refer to Appendix B.

The IPX Configuration window appears.

Complete the IPX Configuration window.

If you are configuring a LAN or WAN circuit, you must sup ply the fol lo wing

information:

•A configured network number. A configured network number is any valid IPX network address in

hexadecimal notation. If you are configuring th is interf ace as Unnumbered RIP, supply the value

zero for the configured network number. If you are trying to establish a connection to a Series 5 Bay Networks

router, or a router that does not implement IPXWAN or PPP, then you must enter a nonzero network address (for example, the network address of the link).

1-6

If you are configuring an IPX interface that will enable IPXWAN services, do not supply a configured network number.

If you are using Site M anager, you can specify the configured network number by configuring the Conf igure d Network Number (hex) par ameter described on page A-2.

•The encapsulation method. By default, IPX supplies an encapsulation method that is media

dependent. The encapsulation method supports communication on a specific logical link. Check to make sure that the supplied encapsulation method matches the one the clients and servers on the same logical network use, and is appropriate for the physical circuit, as follows:

-- Ethernet circuits support Ethernet, LSAP, Novell, and SNAP frames.

-- Token ring circuits support LSAP and SNAP frames.

-- Synchronous circuits (V.35, RS-232/V.24, RS-422/423, X.21, T1/E1)

support SNAP, PPP, and X.25 Point-to-Point (Ethernet) frames.

117369-B Rev. 00

Starting IPX Services

-- FDDI circuits support LSAP and SNAP frames.

-- HSSI circuits support PPP and SNAP frames.

-- ISDN circuits support PPP frames. If you are using Site M anager, you can specify the encapsulation method

by configuring the Configured Encaps parameter described on page A-4.

If you are configuring an IPXWAN circuit, you must also supply the following in formation:

•A common network number. The common network number is a network numbe r t hat you assign to the

WAN circuit. If this router is the master during the IPXWAN negotiation and RIP is selected as the routing protocol, then the common network number is used as the IPX network number for the circuit.

There is no default fo r t he common network number. You must supply an IPX common network number in hexadecimal format. Valid common network numbers range from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFD. Do not use the value 0xFFFFFFFE or 0xFFFFFFFF as network numbers. These values are reserved for system use.

117369-B Rev. 00

If you are using Site M anager, you can specify the common network number by configuring the Common Network Number parameter described on page A-5.

•A negotiated protocol. The negotiated protocol specifies the protocol that the router supports for

the exchange of routing information over this WAN circuit. You can specify either RIP or Unnumbered RIP as the negotiated protocol. For a description of RIP, refe r to Chapter 5.

If you are using Site Man ager, you can specify the negotia ted protocol by configuring the Negotiated Protocol(s) parameter described on page A-6.

Click on OK.

If you did not enable IPXWAN services, IPX is now completely configured using the information you supplied and all other supplied default values. You can now use IPX. If you want to change any of the supplied defaults to fine-tune the way IPX works, refer to Appendix A.

1-7

Configuring IPX Services

If you enabled IPXWAN services in the IPX Configuration window, the IPXWAN Configuration window appears. You must supply the following information:

•A router name.

•A primary network number.

The router name is any symbol ic name that you choose fo r the rout er. Y ou must choose a name that is unique among those assigned to IPX file servers and routers anywhere in the IPX internetwork. Any IPXWAN (RFC1634-compliant) interface in the node uses this name to identify itself to the IPX router or server at the opposite end of the WAN data link.

If you are using Site M anager, you can specify the router name by configuring the Router Name parameter described on page A-7.

A primary network number is a unique string of up to 8 hexadecimal characters that specifies an IPX network number for IPXWAN link negotiation on all slots. You can enter any unused value between 0x00000001 and 0xFFFFFFFD.

The value you enter for the primary network number determines whether the local or remote router on the WAN circuit serves as the IPX Link Master. The node with the highest primary networ k number becomes the IPX Link Master.

1-8

Click on OK.

If you are using Si te Manager, specify the pr imar y network number using the Primary Net Num ber (hex) parameter described on page A-8.
