33 Configuring IPX
The Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol, developed by Novell for NetWare, is a Layer 3 protocol
used to route packets through IPX networks. (NetWare is Novell’s network server operating system.)
In This Chapter
This chapter describes IPX and how to configure it through the Command Line Interface (CLI). It includes
instructions for configuring IPX routing and fine-tuning IPX by using optional IPX configuration parame-
ters (e.g., IPX packet extension and type-20 propagation). It also details IPX filtering, which is used to
control the operation of the IPX RIP/SAP protocols. CLI commands are used in the configuration exam-
ples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
