What information is necessary?
their IP address to the remote LAN, rather they will be hidden behind
the VPN gateway's IP address instead.
Therefore, the stations within the remote LAN cannot access IP
stations in the other LAN directly. For example, if a headquarters.
LAN in 'Extranet VPN' mode is hidden behind its gateway's address
'10.10.2.100', and on of its IP stations (e.g. '10.10.2.13') accesses the
IP station '10.10.1.2' of the branch office, then the branch office.s IP
stations deems to be a accessed by '10.10.2.100'. The true IP address
of the accessor ('10.10.2.13') is hidden.
If two LANs shall be coupled in Extranet mode, please ensure to
enter the 'outbound' Extranet IP address of the remote site, not its
Intranet address. According to the example, this was '10.10.2.100'.
The appropriate netmask for the Extranet IP address would be
'255.255.255.255' then.

Settings for the IPX router
The coupling of IPX networks via VPN cannot be configured using
the wizard. It can only be set up in the expert configuration. For
details, please see the reference manual.
Coupling two typical IPX networks to form a WAN requires three
IPX network numbers:
• for the LAN of the head office
• for the LAN of the branch office
• for the higher-level WAN
The IPX network numbers in the head and branch offices are
specified to the respective remote sides.
The three required network numbers are designated as “External
Network Numbers” by the IPX conventions. Like IP network
addresses, the apply to an entire LAN segment. On the other hand,
internal IPX numbers are used to address specific Novell servers in
the LAN. All three specified network numbers must be distinct from
one another and from all used internal IPX network numbers.
In addition, it may be necessary to enter the frame type (“binding”).
Specifying the IPX network number and binding used is not
necessary if the remote network also contains a Novell server. It is
only necessary to enter the network number for the WAN manually in
this case.
