Subject: IPX RIP [7:13696]
I had a some questions about IPX networking.
There are two routers A & B connectted over frame
relay on their serial interface. Novell servers
sitting on the ethernet interface of both A & B
routers. I want to enble IPX RIP so that Novell
clients on both sides can access Novell servers on
either side.
I used "ipx routing" global configuration command to
enable IPX RIP on both routers & used "ipx network
xxxx" on interfaces to configure the networks to be
advertised in RIP. Following are the IPX related
configs on the router.
router A
ipx routing 23e4.2453.2348
interface ehthernet0
ipx network 100
interface serial0
ipx network 200
router B
ipx routing 7304.f851.1540
interface ehthernet0
ipx network 110
interface serial0
ipx network 200
Now I have following doubts.
1) Are these all the IPX configs (minimum configs
without considering fine tuning) needed to get IPX
running so that clients on both sides can access
servers on both sides?
CL: yes
2) The IPX network address of both networks is 100 &
110. Do I have to configure these address on the
Novell server? Servers are already in place. Can I
get these network address from server & put in the
router? Are these address different from IPX internal
network number?
CL: generally one configures the ethernet interface with an IPX network
number that matches that of the server. or you can change the server network
address using whatever the current utility is. usually its easier to match
the router interface to the existing net.
CL: IPX internal network is irrelevant here. makes no difference to the
routers.
3) Is it necessary to configure network 200 on serial
interface of both routers?
CL: yes - the link is a network. same as with IP. the difference is that in
the IPX world the wire is the net number.
Thanks in advance.
