Rapier Switch Software Release 2.2.1
C613-02013-00 Rev A

The switch’s implementation of the Novell IPX protocol uses the term circuit to 
refer to a logical connection over an interface, similar to an X.25 permanent 
virtual circuit (PVC) or a Frame Relay Data Link Connection (DLC). The term 
interface is used to refer to the underlying physical interface, such as VLAN, 
Ethernet, Point-to-Point (PPP) and Frame Relay.

To create IPX circuit 1 with the Novell network number 129 over the admin 
VLAN, use the command:

ADD IPX CIRC=1 INTERFACE=vlan11 NETWORK=129 ENCAP=802.3

The command:

SHOW IPX CIRCUIT

displays information about the circuits configured for IPX (Figure 20).
