According to the following Cisco link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/33.html#networknumber
As with other network addresses, Novell IPX network addresses must be
unique. These addresses are represented in hexadecimal format and consist of
two parts: a network number and a node number. The IPX network number, which
is assigned by the network administrator, is 32 bits long. The node
number,which usually is the Media Access Control (MAC) address for one of
the system's network interface cards (NICs), is 48 bits long.
a.. Network:
a.. 32bit number represented in Hex
b.. Administratively assigned
c.. Range : 0x00000001 - 0xFFFFFFFE
d.. 0xFFFFFFFF = Broadcast
e.. 0xFFFFFFFE = Default route
a.. Node:
a.. 48 bit number represented in Hex
b.. MAC address of NIC card (can be administratively assigned )
