Configure IPX? (Yes, No): [Yes]
1. Enter y to configure IPX. Enter n to skip IPX configuration and continue with
quick configuration.
You will see messages similar to the following:
Type 'r' any time at this level to restart IPX Configuration
IPX Configuration is already present
Configure IPX anyway? (Yes, No): [No] yes
2. Enter y to replace the existing configuration. Enter n to keep the current
configuration and continue.
If you have configured for DIALs dial-in interfaces the following panel will be
displayed:
Enable IPX on DIALs interfaces? (Yes, No): [Yes]
3. Enter y to automatically enable IPX on each of the DIALs interfaces. A random
IPX network number will be generated for the interface and IPXWAN will be
disabled for the DIALs interface. It is required that IPXWAN be disabled for
DIALs interfaces.
Enter n to automatically disable IPX on each of the DIALs dial-in interfaces.
Configuring Per-Interface IPX Information
Configuring Interface 0 (Token Ring)
Configure IPX on this interface? (Yes, No): [Yes]
4. The next messages and your responses depend on whether you are configuring
Token-Ringor Ethernet.
Configuring IPX for Token-Ring:
a. The following prompt is displayed:
Token Ring encapsulation (frame) type? (TOKEN–RING MSB, TOKEN–RING LSB,
TOKEN–RING_SNAP MSB, TOKEN–RING_SNAP LSB): [TOKEN–RING MSB]
b. Enter the encapsulation type used by the IPX protocol on your Token-Ring
end stations.
Token–Ring MSB: Most common encapsulation type and the default. The IBM 2210
builds outgoing packets with a 3-byte 802.2 header, (0xE0, 0xE0,
0x03). It sends the source and destination addresses in MSB (most
significant bit), or noncanonical, format, which is the native address
format for Token-Ring.
Token–Ring LSB Same as Token-Ring MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the addresses
in LSB (least significant bit), or canonical, format.
Token-Ring SNAP MSB The IBM 2210 builds outgoing packets with an 8-byte 802.2/SNAP
header (0xAA, 0xAA, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0x37). It sends
the source and destination addresses in most significant bit (MSB), or
noncanonical, format.
Token-Ring SNAP LSB Same as Token-Ring SNAP MSB except the IBM 2210 sends the
addresses in LSB, or canonical, format.
