6-2 IPX Configuration
6.1.2 Frame Types
IPX can run on top of four different frame types on the Ethernet. These frame types are 802.2, 802.3,
Ethernet II (DIX), and SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol). Each frame type is a separate logical
network, even though they exist on one physical network (see the following diagram).
Even though there are four frame types available on the Ethernet, you should configure as few frame types
as possible on your NetWare server and use automatic frame detection on the clients to simplify
management and to reduce network overhead.
