■ 802.3
■ Ethernet II
■ SNAP (Subnetwork Access Protocol)
■ 802.2
For Token Ring, IPX can be transported over these frame types:
■ SNAP
■ 802.2
It is not necessary to run more than one frame type. However, it may not be possible
to standardize on one frame type on a LAN subnetwork because some LAN
interfaces are restricted in the choice of frame type. If there are multiple frame types
on a subnetwork, they behave as if they are on separate subnetworks and a network
address is required for each.
IPX Protocol The IPX Protocol - IPX Protocol screen has the following settings:
IPX Frame
Type
For each available frame type, you can select:
Auto Detected
The 833IS will monitor the LAN to see if there are any frames of that type. If it does,
it determines the network number from the frame number.
If you do not have any Novell servers on the subnetwork or the servers are removed
from service on a regular basis, you should configure the network number.
