Configure as an Ethernet IPX router
The router is preconfigured to operate as an IPX router when installed
in an IPX network. The router will learn the IPX network numbers
from the local LAN and when the WAN connections are established,
the router will route the IPX frames to the appropriate destination
IPX network.
The IPX routing scenario may consist of one of the two following
configurations. The first configuration consists of Novell servers
located on each of the LAN segments to be connected. The second
configuration consists of Novell servers located on only one of the
LAN segments to be connected. The router IPX router will need to
be configured differently in the second configuration with Novell
servers located on only one of the LAN segments.
Novell Servers in Both Locations
An Ethernet IPX router is used to intelligently route Novell IPX LAN
traffic to remotely connected LANs across the WAN.

(Servers on both sides)
IPX routers forward IPX frames based upon their IPX destination
address and an internal routing table. The router maintains the internal
routing table with the remote network IPX addresses and the remote
partner IPX routers associated with those networks. When an IPX
frame is received from the local LAN, the destination IPX address is
