Specify IPX Encapsulation Method
The SmartSwitch Router supports two encapsulation types for IPX. You can configure
encapsulation type on a per-interface basis.
• Ethernet II The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a 16-bit
protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)
• 802.3 SNAP: SNAP IEEE 802.3 encapsulation, in which the type code becomes the
frame length for the IEEE 802.2 LLC encapsulation (destination and source Service
Access Points, and a control byte)
• 802.3: 802.3 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
