Enable IPXWAN2
IPXWAN represents the way that IPX works for various WAN media. Specifically,
it is a protocol that Novell uses to exchange necessary router-to-router information
before exchanging standard IPX routing information and traffic over WAN
datalinks. The default value is No.
IPX Maximum Hop Count
This is the maximum number of routers an IPX packet can go through. When
passing a router, this value decrements by one. When the Hop Count reaches 0, the
packet is discarded. This parameters ranges from 1 to 16. The default value is 16.
Normally, this value does need modification.
Circuit Configuration menu
This brings the program to the IPX Circuit Configuration Menu. It is explained on
page 321. To access the Circuit Configuration menu, select Y and press F10.
Other parameters menu
This section is reserved for other parameters. Basically, if parameters Enable IPX
Router through Circuit Configuration have been configured, the router should work
with a basic default configuration. To access the Other Parameters menu, select Y
and press F10.
NLSP Parameters NLSP parameters are only necessary if NLSP is enabled.
Router ID
This is the NLSP System ID. If the Router ID is not configured, the Router ID is
set to the MAC Address of this unit. It must be six bytes long, MAC style, that is,
it must be unique for the entire internetwork. This number must be in hexadecimal
format. The default value is the 000000000000.
Internal Network Number
This is the Internal Network Number of up to four bytes that the router uses. It has
the same meaning as the Internal Network Number of a Novell server. If the

FFFFFFFF. The default value is 1.
Router Name
A unique name of up to 47 bytes that represents this NLSP router. It is
recommended to type TXPORT Router and a number representing the TXPORT
unit so the router can be easily recognized when browsing through a router list.
The Router Name should be TXPORT router, followed by the unit number.
NLSP Area Network Number
This is a 32-bit IPX network number, paired with a 32-bit mask of leading one
bits. The mask indicates how many bits of the network number identify the area.
All networks in the reachable internetwork are in one area. The actual router
supports only one area. This number ranges from hexadecimal 0
