Chapter 3 - IPX Routing & Bridging

Logically, the IPX Bridge Group is treated by the device as an interface
(Bridge 0). The settings in the IPX Routing: Bridge 0 Configuration Dialog
Box (discussed below) determine the IPX parameters for all of the physical
network interfaces which make up the IPX Bridge Group. This is shown sche-
matically in the diagram above.

IPX Routing: Bridge 0 Configuration Dialog Box

v Note: If you need more information about the IPX protocol, see “IPX 101”
in the Appendices to this manual.

To access this dialog box, select Bridge 0/IPX Routing in the Device View.

IPX Frame Types

Compatible Systems devices support all four defined IPX frame types, and
will perform routing between frame types as necessary. Whether each or all
of these frame types are used on an individual Bridge interface is determined
by the settings for each type.

Ethernet Type II is commonly used by TCP/IP and DECnet. The default
seeding value is Non-Seed.
