counters for the current network.
Protocol
This field will display the protocol for the indicated internal or direct connect IPX network.
The displayed protocol will be one of the following:
• NULL (IPX Internal Network)
• SNAP
• Ethernet 802.3
• Ethernet V2
Network
This field will display the IPX Network Number of the internal or direct connect network for
the indicated protocol.
Node
This is the Node address for the LAN board connected to the internal or direct connect network.
If the RIP State is Link Down, this field will have a value of 000000000000. After the link
becomes active for the first time, the Node address assigned to the LAN board will be displayed
(configured or burned in address). If this panel is displaying the Internal IPX Network, the
Node address will be 000000000001.
Line
This is the LAN board line type and occurrence for the LAN board (or Internal IPX Network).
Line types will be Internal for the Internal IPX Network, TRCx for a Token Ring LAN board,
