Configuring a Novell IPX Network
2 Connect a terminal to the console port (port 0) on each
router, as described in the AR300 Series Router Quick Install
Guide. Alternatively, you can connect a PC to the console port
and use a terminal emulation program like Windows™ Terminal,
or Telnet to the routers using a Telnet client. To use Telnet both
routers must be configured for IP. See Configuring an IP Network
for details.
3 Login to the MANAGER account on each router, as
described in the AR300 Series Router Quick Install Guide.
4 Collect the information that you will need to configure IPX.
We recommend you photocopy the table on page 20 and fill in
the details. Pay particular attention to the following points:
Head Office Router
Network = 401
Remote Office Router
Network = 12
Netware
File Server
Remote PC Remote PC
PPP Data Link
Network = 129
Head Office Router Configuration Parameter Remote Office Router
eth0 Ethernet interface eth0
802.3 Ethernet encapsulation 802.3
401 Novell network number for Ethernet 12
1 IPX circuit over Ethernet 1
ppp0 PPP interface ppp0
129 Novell network number for PPP 129
2 IPX circuit over PPP 2
This example illustrates the steps required to configure a pair
of AR300 routers to create a Novell
® IPX internetwork, using
the router’s command line interface. In this scenario, PCs at a
remote office need access to a Novell file server at the Head
Office site. The two sites are connected by a PPP link over a
wide area link—either a dedicated leased line or an ISDN call.
BEFORE YOU START
1 Ensure that the routers to be configured are connected to
the wide area link, and that the wide area link is operational.
See Getting Connected for information about connecting the
router to different physical networks.
