Configuring IPX Dial-on-Demand
This example (Figure 18 on page 111) illustrates how to set up the router to
provide a wide area internet based on Novell’s IPX routing protocol with dial-
on-demand access. In this scenario, a PC at a remote site periodically accesses
the Novell file server at a central site to read Email, transfer files or print
documents on a laser printer. The two sites are connected by a PPP link over a
wide area link—either a dedicated leased line or an ISDN call.
Figure 18: Example configuration for an IPX dial-on-demand network.
To configure IPX dial-on-demand follow these steps
If the PPP link uses an ISDN call configured as a dial-on-demand link (see
“Configuring ISDN Dial on Demand” on page 91), then you can configure IPX for
IPX dial-on-demand services.
The following steps are required:
1. Clear the previous IPX configuration.
2. Enable IPX.
3. Define the IPX circuits.
4. Save the configuration.
