Example of an IPX server bridge (local servers)

In this example, the local network supports a combination of NetWare clients and servers, and
the remote network supports clients only, so the MAX unit requires IPX server bridging. When
Handle IPX=Server, the unit applies a data filter that discards RIP and SAP broadcasts at its
WAN interface, but forwards RIP and SAP queries. It also uses the value specified by the
Netware t/o parameter as the time limit for responding to NCP watchdog requests on behalf of
clients on the other side of the bridge.

To configure the Site A MAX unit in this example:

1

Make sure that the Name parameter in the System > Sys Config profile specifies a name
for the MAX unit. This example uses the name SITEAGW for the unit.

2

Specify the IPX frame type in the Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options profile. For
example:

Ethernet

Mod Config

Ether options...

IPX Frame=802.3
