Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 4-33
IPX RIP and IPX SAP handle RIP packets across the WAN, and whether the MAX unit sends
out queries for the nearest IPX server:
IPX parameters
The following parameters in Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > IP Options define
the network number of the remote-end router, the network number assigned to a point-to-point
link, whether there is server or client bridging, and the amount of time the MAX unit enables
clients to remain logged on:
Parameter Specifies
Peer Whether or not the remote IPX caller is a router or a dialin client. The
Peer parameter specifies how the unit negotiates IPX with callers that
have no configured Connection profile, assuming them to be either
IPX routers or IPX clients.
IPX RIP How RIP packets are handled across this WAN connection. IPX RIP
is set to Both by default, indicating that RIP broadcasts will be
exchanged in both directions. You can disable the exchange of RIP
broadcasts across a WAN connection, or specify that the unit only
sends or only receives RIP broadcasts on that connection.
IPX SAP How SAP packets are handled across this WAN connection. IPX SAP
is also set to Both by default, indicating that SAP broadcasts will be
exchanged in both directions. If SAP is enabled to both send and
receive broadcasts on the WAN interface, the unit broadcasts its entire
SAP table to the remote network and listens for SAP table updates
from that network. Eventually, both networks have a full table of all
services on the WAN. To control which services are advertised and
where, you can disable the exchange of SAP broadcasts across a WAN
connection, or specify that the unit only sends or only receives SAP
broadcasts on that connection.
Dial Query Whether or not the unit places a call to the location indicated in the
Connection profile when a workstation on the local IPX network looks
for the nearest IPX server. More than one Connection profile can have
this parameter set to Yes. As a a result, several connections can occur
at the same time.
Parameter Specifies
IPX Net# IPX network number of the remote-end router. If a number is
specified, the MAX unit creates a static route to the remote device.
The value is needed only when the remote-end router requires that the
unit know its network number before connecting.
IPX Alias# IPX network number assigned to a point-to-point link. This parameter
is used only when the unit operates with a non-Lucent router that uses
a numbered interface. It does not apply if you are routing from one
unit to another, or to a router that does not use a numbered interface.
Handle IPX IPX server bridging or IPX client bridging.
