Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is the network protocol used by Novell NetWare networks. This chapter
shows you how to configure the Netopia R9100 for routing data using IPX. You also learn how to configure the
router to ser ve IPX network addresses.

Note: Most cable modems do not currently suppor t the IPX protocol over the WAN. The Netopia R9100
suppor ts IPX routing over the Auxiliar y por t with an attached asynchronous modem. This requires the optional
add-on dial-in kit (order TER/AD1).

This section covers the following topics:

“IPX definitions” on page 10-1

“IPX setup screen” on page 10-3

IPX features

The Netopia R9100 suppor ts the following IPX features:

IPX RIP and SAP

NetBIOS broadcast packet for warding (IPX type 20)

IPX packet filtering definable by source and destination IPX address and socket number for added security

IPX SAP filtering to aid in optimizing WAN bandwidth

Dial-on-demand features:

Spoofing of IPX keep-alive, SPX, and ser ver serialization packets

Configurable RIP/SAP timers on connection profiles

IPX definitions

This section defines IPX-related protocols such as RIP, SAP, and NetBIOS, in addition to other related terms.
See the next section for setup instructions.

Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)

IPX is a datagram, connectionless protocol that Novell adapted from Xerox Network System’s (XNS’s) Internet
Datagram Protocol (IDP). IPX is dynamically routed, and the routing architecture works by “learning” network
addressing automatically.
