### LAN IPX Frame Format (more detail)

The LAN IPX frame format you assign the FrameNode must match the one configured on the Novell server and clients connected to the same LAN and the FrameNode you are configuring. The Novell network board accepts a link driver FRAME command that identifies the frame format. The following table identifies the frame format parameter used to configure the FrameNode, along with the corresponding Novell identifier used in the NET.CFG file.

LAN Type | Frame Node | Novell
Ethernet | IEEE 802.2 (LLC) | Ethernet_802.2
Ethernet | Version 2 (DIX) | Ethernet_II
Ethernet | 802.3 Raw format | Ethernet_802.3
Ethernet | SNAP Encapsulation | Ethernet_SNAP
Token Ring | IEEE 802.2 (LLC) | Token-Ring
Token Ring | SNAP Encapsulation | Token-Ring_SNAP

When you click the LAN IPX Frame Format... button on the IPX routing configuration window, the following configuration window opens.

### Format for Routing and RIP/SAP

  This parameter defines the frame format to be used for IPX RIP, SAP, and routing. This applies to Token Ring and Ethernet LANs only. This value must match the frame format already assigned to Novell servers and clients connected over the same LAN as the FrameNode you are configuring.
  Range: IEEE 802.2 (LLC), SNAP encapsulation, Version 2 (DIX), or 802.3 raw format

### Enable IPX Routing

  Enable (select) this feature if you want the unit to route IPX frames over the network.
  You must have IPX filtering and bridging turned off.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled

### Enable RIP Broadcasts

  Enable (select) this feature if you want the unit to send RIP packets over the network. RIP packets contain information regarding available routes that are learned by the unit. If IPX routing is disabled, this option is ignored.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled
  Note: If you enable IPX routing and disable RIP routing, you must define static routes for all destinations.

### Enable SAP Broadcasts

  Enable this feature if you want the unit to send SAP packets over the network. This option is ignored if RIP broadcasts are disabled.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled

### Enable NetBIOS Packets

  Enabled this feature if you want the unit to process Novell NetBIOS packets. This option is ignored if IPX routing is disabled.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled

### IPX Global Node ID

  By default, the unit implements IPX WAN over frame relay. The "timer request" packet is transmitted by the unit over frame relay. This packet includes a field called WAN Node (i.e., WNode Id). This value is defined in this field and must be unique within the network.
  Range: 8 hexadecimal numbers

### IPX Frame Priority

  This parameter sets the transmission priority of the routed IPX frames on the unit's frame relay ports. To change this setting, click the down arrow and select the desired priority from the list of options.
  Range: Low, Medium, High, or Urgent

### RIP/SAP Timers

  This feature enables you to define the appropriate RIP/SAP timers for your network.

### Network Numbers

  This feature enables you to define the network number for configured LAN and frame relay ports. These ports must include a network number, or they will be excluded from the unit's routing table.

### Static Routes

  This feature enables you to define static routes.

### Static SAPs

  This feature enables you to define static SAPs, even though the unit is configured to filter SAP broadcasts.

### Transmit / Receive RIP

  This feature enables you to specify RIP overrides for particular interfaces.

### Transmit / Receive SAPs

  This feature enables you to control SAP broadcasts on a per-interface basis.
