Outline of Configuration Procedure
The steps below are intended as an outline of the sequence for
configuring a unit for routing IPX. They are for guidance only and
must be used in conjunction with the full description given in the
following pages.
There are seven basic steps required for manual configuration of a
unit as an IPX router. There is a different sequence for remote
configuration with additional steps. The additional steps are given in
“Configuring a Remote Unit from the Central Site” on page 5-9.
The seven basic steps are:
■
Assign a unique name to the unit.
■
Configure a unique, valid IP address for the unit.
It is very important to assign a unique name and IP address to each unit.
■
It is good practise to configure a valid subnet mask for the unit.
Although this step is not absolutely necessary, it is recommended.
■
Configure the ISDN network type, if required.
■
Set up the ISDN Numbers table to associate a remote unit name
with an ISDN number.
■
Enable IPX routing.
■
Enable NRIP/SAP learning.
■
Make a manual call to the central site router (remote site only).
Configuring a Central Site Unit for Routing IPX
If the central site unit is being configured for the first time, or if it is
an entirely new installation, then enter
CO
STD
to reset the unit to
the factory default settings.
CAUTION:
Do not reset the unit if has already been installed on the
network and configured to bridge or route IP, and is required to
continue bridging or routing IP.
CAUTION:
If the unit has already been configured, and it is
necessary to keep some of the settings, take a note of the current
