NFORMATION

In our example, we have three interfaces:

the LAN interface, the CyberSWITCH connection to the LAN IPX Network 0100

the Remote LAN interface for connecting to the bridges at Tampa and Orlando

the traditional WAN interface for connecting to the router at Dallas

CyberSWITCH systems do not require you to configure traditional WAN interfaces for IPX
routing, so no additional interface configuration is needed for the Dallas network. However, you
must configure both the LAN interface and the Remote LAN interface (for access to Tampa and
Orlando). The configurations of both of these interfaces are described in the following sections.

Add a LAN Interface

First we will add the LAN interface. From the IPX Menu, select IPX Interfaces. Select Add. Select LAN
as the type of interface.

The interface name is a symbolic name given to the interface. For the LAN interface, you should
use a name that describes the LAN. Enter detroitlan for this example.
