Configuring IPX
This example (Figure 10 on page 96) illustrates the steps required to configure a
pair of AR410 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.
