Defining and Configuring AutoTracker Policies
Page 20-12
Set Up an IPX Address
a. To specify an IPX address, enter a 2 at the Select the Network Protocol: prompt.
b. The following prompt displays:
Enter the IPX Network Number:
Enter an IPX network number to define the network devices you want included in the
mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN . IPX addresses consist of eight hex digits and you
can enter a minimum of one hex digit in this field. If you enter less than eight hex
digits, the system prefixes your entry with zeros to create eight digits. All devices with
the specified network number will be included in the mobile group or AutoTracker
VLAN .
c. The following prompt displays:
Select the IPX Network Encapsulation
1. Ethernet-II
2. IEEE 802.2 LLC
3. IEEE SNAP
4. IPX Proprietary
Enter the IPX Network Encapsulation (1):
Select the encapsulation type from the list. IPX devices do not know their network
number at bootup. Typically, IPX servers assign different network numbers to devices
using different encapsulation types within the same physical network. When an
encapsulation type is specified here, an
IPX device that does not know its network
number at bootup will be assigned to the mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN as long
as the device uses the encapsulation type you specify here.
d. Go on to Step 4 below.
4. The following prompt displays:
Configure more rules for this vlan (y/n):
You can set up multiple rules for the same mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN . Enter a Y
here if you want to set up more rules in addition to the Network Address rule specified
here. If you enter
Y , you will be prompted for the next rule that you want to set up on
this mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN . Follow the directions in the appropriate section
to configure that rule.
If you enter N , you will receive a message, similar to the one below, indicating that the
VLAN was set up.
VLAN 1:2 created successfully
You are done setting up rules for this mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN.
