Configuring IPX Dial-on-Demand

This example (

Figure 16

) illustrates how to set up the router to provide a wide

area internet based on Novell’s IPX routing protocol with dial-on-demand
access. In this scenario, a PC at a remote site periodically accesses the Novell
file server at a central site to read Email, transfer files or print documents on a
laser printer. The two sites are connected by a PPP link over a wide area link—
either a dedicated leased line or an ISDN call.

Figure 16: Example configuration for an IPX dial-on-demand network.

To configure IPX dial-on-demand follow these steps

If the PPP link uses an ISDN call configured as a dial-on-demand link (see

“Configuring ISDN Dial on Demand” on page 81

), then you can configure IPX

for IPX dial-on-demand services.

The following steps are required:

1.

Clear the previous IPX configuration.

2.

Enable IPX.

3.

Define the IPX circuits.

4.

Save the configuration.
