C ONFIGURING IPX
IPX-Specific Information for Devices
This parameter is only necessary for IPX over Frame Relay when at least one of the
CyberSWITCHes in the Frame Relay connection is a CSX200 or CSX400. (CSX200 and CSX400
platforms do not support unnumbered connections). In this instance, you must specify the same
number on both CyberSWITCHes supporting the Frame Relay access.
IPX R EMOTE LAN N ETWORK N UMBER
Specifies the IPX external network number on the remote LAN. The default value is none.
If you choose to change this parameter, you must specify the IPX external network number used
on the remote LAN in question. This value must be the same as the value configured for the
corresponding IPX Remote LAN interface.
If this parameter remains none, the CyberSWITCH will assume the network number is that of the
first configured IPX Remote LAN interface. This is convenient in applications in which remote
LANs consist only of clients (thus no explicit external network address), all of which are on the
same external virtual LAN.
IPX S POOFING O PTIONS
For IPX routing, IPX spoofing options are configurable by device, and correspond to the system-
level spoofing options.
For IPX Remote LAN devices, IPX spoofing options are currently not available.
IPX B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION FOR D EVICES
To configure your CyberSWITCH for IPX routing, you must properly complete the system
parameters that are IPX-specific. These parameters are discussed in the first portion of this chapter.
But, for a remote device to be able to participate in IPX routing or bridging using the IPX Remote
LAN interface, you also need to configure that device with the necessary IPX information. This
information is configured in the on-node device database.
IPX T RIGGERED RIP/SAP D EVICE B ACKGROUND
On the on-node device database, choose Triggered RIP/SAP as the IPX protocol for those remote
devices that will use this protocol to exchange route/service information with the CyberSWITCH.
You can display these locally-configured remote devices from the
WAN peer list .
When using an off-node server, you need to configure a list of IPX Triggered RIP/SAP routers.
At initialization time, Triggered RIP/SAP starts for all on-node devices whose selected protocol is
Triggered RIP/SAP. The information about IPX Triggered RIP/SAP may be fetched from an off-
node server, if applicable, and then Triggered RIP/SAP will start for the configured routers.
