Novell Servers in One Location Only
Some Novell LAN installations require that a remote LAN that consists
of only Novell IPX clients be connected to a central LAN that contains
the Novell servers and some more clients. In this configuration, the
P850 located at the remote site must be configured with the appropriate
IPX network numbers. The IPX network number must be configured
manually because there is no Novell server at the remote site. The P850
router must act as a Novell server to supply the proper IPX network
number to the clients on the remote site LAN.
In the following diagram, the P850 connected to LAN #2 must be
configured with IPX network number 1500 using the appropriate
frame type. The clients connected to LAN #2 must also be running
with the same frame type as defined on the P850. After the P850s
have established the WAN connection, the IPX routing procedures will
cause the names of the services located on LAN #1 to be stored in the
services table on the P850 on LAN #2. When one of the clients on
LAN #2 starts up, it will look for a server on the local LAN and the
P850 will respond with the list of servers that are located on the central
LAN.
