Figure 4 Migration Agents Interconnecting IPX Segments
The MA is supported only at the NetWare server. The MA is enabled by
loading the IPX Compatibility driver (scmd.nlm) with the Migration Agent
option. The Migration Agents are then used by the IP systems on the
network.If more than one MA is needed, all Migration Agents must be able to
access the same IPX networks or be able to exchange IPX network
information. Migration Agents exchange IPX network information by
invoking the IP Backbone Support feature, which is accomplished by loading
the scmd.nlm with the backbone support options.
