Novell IPX
The advanced feature licence AT-RPFL3Upgrade is required for this feature.
The switch’s implementation of the Novell IPX protocol uses the term circuit to
refer to a logical connection over an interface, similar to an X.25 permanent
virtual circuit (PVC) or a Frame Relay Data Link Connection (DLC). The term
interface is used to refer to the underlying physical interface, such as VLAN,
Ethernet, Point-to-Point (PPP) and Frame Relay.
To create IPX circuit 1 with the Novell network number 129 over the admin
VLAN, use the command:
ADD IPX CIRC=1 INTERFACE=vlan11 NETWORK=129 ENCAP=802.3
The command:
SHOW IPX CIRCUIT
displays information about the circuits configured for IPX (Figure 20).
Figure 20: Example output from the SHOW IPX CIRCUIT command.
