examined and looked up in the routing tables. Once the destination
IPX address is found in the routing tables, the IPX router sends the
IPX frame to the remote partner P850 router that is connected to the
appropriate remote IPX network.
To configure the P850 to be an IPX router when both LAN segments
contain Novell servers, the IPX network numbers are learned
automatically from the routing information and service announcements
sent by the servers. The P850 will automatically assign the IPX
network numbers and proceed to route the IPX frames to the
appropriate destination network.
When two IPX LAN segments with Novell servers on each segment are
to be connected together with IPX routers, you must ensure that the IPX
network numbers on each of the Novell servers is unique. If the IPX
network numbers are the same, the IPX routers will not operate.
Once the WAN connections have been established to the remote
partner P850 routers, the IPX router portion of the P850 routers will
begin to build their routing tables according to the IPX frames they
receive from the network. Manual entries may be made in the routing
tables by adding static IPX routes.
The configuration options described here are only for initial set up and
configuration purposes. For more information on all of the configuration
parameters available please refer to the P850 PPP Menus Reference
Manual file on the accompanying CD-ROM.
