■ IPX Networks:
• Only four IPX networks (with four different encapsulation types) are
allowed per VLAN.
• The IPX server chosen in the proxy response is always the first nearest
server in the SAP table.
■ Server Selection: The switch does not support encapsulation transla-
tions (such as from 802.2 to SNAP in IPX). For this reason, the switch
always responds to a client request by providing a proxy reply to a server
supporting the same encapsulation type.
■ AppleTalk and DECnet: Packets from these protocols are forwarded
(bridged) without any broadcast controls. To limit distribution of packets
carrying these protocols, use the protocol filter capability described under
“Traffic/Security Filters” on page 6-46.
