Note: If you set RIP to “on” for a dial-on-demand link, you must
also set the update method to triggered to prevent the link from being
brought up by transmission of RIP information. You should only use
triggered operation when you are connecting to another Compatible
Systems router at the other end of the link.
IPX Protocol
Required for IPX
WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an
IPX address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this
mode of operation, there are no required settings.
Suggested for IPX
If you plan to use dial-on-demand for this link, you should set the
update method to “triggered” to avoid the link being brought up by
transmission of IPX RIP information. You should only use triggered
operation when you are connecting to another Compatible Systems
router at the other end.
When you set up an on-demand link with IPX, you should carefully
monitor link usage to determine whether the link is being activated only
when it is needed. Additional router configuration will be required for
many networks in order to achieve optimal link usage.
• Set update method
CV: Use the IPX Routing: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Updates keyword in the IPX WAN 0
(and/or WAN 1) section.
