Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions
5
IPX Protocol
Required for IPX
There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX.
The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and
will adapt to conditions on the Ethernet.
Suggested for IPX
You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values.
You may also want to turn off unused frame types.
CV: Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 (and/or other port numbers you
wish to configure) section.
AppleTalk Protocol
Required for AppleTalk
There are generally no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for Apple-
Talk. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase 2, and will adapt to
conditions on the Ethernet.
Suggested for AppleTalk
You may want to set your own network numbers, rather than using the autoconfigured values.
You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.
CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: Ethernet Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 (and/or other port
numbers you wish to configure) section.
DECnet Protocol
Required for DECnet
The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used,
DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.
•
Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)
•
Set DECnet area
•
Set DECnet node
CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet:
Ethernet Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 (and/or other port
numbers you wish to configure) section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node
keywords in the DECnet Global section.
v
Note:
Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
Suggested for DECnet
Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
