1. Click on the home page.
2. Click the IPX Interfaces link in the Config Tool main menu.
3. Click the on radio button in the Active column of the interface you want to configure for IPX traffic.
Find the interface you want to configure in the list. In the Interface column you will find the name you have assigned to the interface (default: physical interface string). In the Physical Interface column you will find a concise description of the interface (interface type, slot number, port number, and logical interface).
In the case of an Ethernet interface you will find three logical interfaces (c0, c1, and c3) for each port on each network interface card. Click the on radio button for each type of encapsulation you want to enable.
The associations are:
Logical Interface |
Encapsulation |
---|---|
eth-sxpyc0 |
Ethernet II |
eth-sxpyc1 |
Ethernet 802.3 |
eth-sxpyc3 |
Ethernet 802.2 |
where x is the slot number and y the port number.
Make sure the encapsulations you don't want activated are marked off.
4. (Optional) If you want to make changes to the network number and/or interface name, click the interface link in the Physical Interface column.
Each logical interface that is checked as active in the Active column must have a network number entered in the Network Number column. Enter the network number for the interface represented in the IPX Network Number edit box. The network number must be entered as a hexadecimal number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFE.
Change it to any name that has meaning for you. No spaces may be entered in the name.
