MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide

Configuring IPX Routing
Configuring IPX routing connections

You configure IPX routing connections by setting parameters in the Answer profile and in 
Connection profiles or RADIUS profiles. 

Following are the relevant parameters in the Answer profile (shown with sample settings):

Ethernet

Answer

PPP options...

Route IPX=Yes

Recv Auth=Either

Session options...

IPX SAP Filter=1

Following are the relevant parameters in a Connection profile (shown with sample settings):

Ethernet

Connections

Station=device-name

Route IPX=Yes

Encaps options...

Recv PW=localpw

IPX Header Compression=Yes

IPX options...

Peer=Router

IPX RIP=None

IPX SAP=Send

Route IPX

Enable/disable IPX routing in the Answer > PPP Options profile. With 
the Yes setting, the MAX passes IPX packets to the bridge/router 
software.

Recv Auth 

Protocol to use for authenticating the password sent by the far end 
during PPP negotiation. IPX connections require this parameter, 
because the MAX cannot verify Connection profiles by address as it 
does for IP connections.

IPX SAP Filter

How SAP packets are handled across this WAN connection. You can 
apply an IPX SAP filter (in the Answer > Session Options profile) to 
exclude or explicitly include certain remote services from the MAX 
unit’s SAP table. If you apply a SAP filter in a Connection > Session 
Options profile, you can exclude or explicitly include services in both 
directions (as described in “Creating and applying IPX SAP filters” on 
page 12-22).
