1.
Configure the PPP Link
Refer to other sections of this guide on how to configure PPP interface 0 on
each router to use the wide area link.
•
See
“Point to Point Protocol (PPP)” on page 70
configuring PPP to use a synchronous link.
•
See
for information about configuring
PPP to use an ISDN call.
•
If the PPP interface is configured for dial-on-demand operation (see
“Configuring ISDN Dial on Demand” on page 81
) or bandwidth on
demand operation (see
“Configuring ISDN Bandwidth on Demand” on
), these services are automatically used by the IPX routing
software.
2.
Configure IPX Routing
To purge the IPX static database to clear any pre-existing IPX configuration
and enable the IPX routing software on each router, enter the commands:
purge ipx
enable ipx
On the Head Office router define two IPX circuits, one for the Ethernet
interface and one for the wide area link, by entering the commands:
add ipx circ=1 int=eth0 netw=401 encap=802.3
add ipx circ=2 int=ppp0 netw=129
To repeat this procedure on the Remote Office router, defining one IPX
circuit for the Ethernet interface and one for the wide area link, enter the
commands:
add ipx circ=1 int=eth0 netw=12 encap=802.3
add ipx circ=2 int=ppp0 netw=129
The routers are now configured for IPX and can exchange routes and service
information.
3.
Test the Configuration
To examine the route table and service table on each router, enter the
commands:
show ipx route
show ipx service
The route table will contain paths from each Novell device which advertises
routes, for example file servers and routers. The service table lists all the
services, such as file services and print services, that devices are advertising.
The actual contents of the route table varies with the number and type of file
servers present on the network. A route from each router to the other, and all
services shown as local (i.e. via eth0) on one router, should also be visible on the
other router, via the PPP link.
Test that a workstation on the Remote Office LAN can login to the file server
on the Head Office LAN.
4.
Save the Configuration
Save the new dynamic configuration as a script, by entering the command:
create config=ipxconf.scp
