408 Chapter 8 � Configuring Novell IPX
Configuring Multiple Frame Types on the 2621A Router
To configure multiple frame types on the 2621A router, you’ll need to add
three new IPX network numbers, one for each frame type you want to add.
When configuring multiple frame types, I like to use the primary number
plus a letter. In this configuration, use 10a for 802.2, 10b for Ethernet_II,
and 10c for SNAP.
For the following configuration, you will create one secondary address on
each router and two subinterfaces. You can do this any way you want, but
this is the way I chose to have you do it.
Here is the configuration for 2621A. Notice that when you use the command
ipx network 10a encap and a question mark, you can see all the supported
encapsulation types and the Cisco keywords.
2621A(config)#int f0/0
2621A(config-if)#ipx network 10a encap ?
arpa Novell Ethernet_II
hdlc HDLC on serial links
novell-ether Novell Ethernet_802.3
novell-fddi Novell FDDI RAW
sap IEEE 802.2 on Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring
snap IEEE 802.2 SNAP on Ethernet, Token Ring, and
FDDI
RouterA(config-if)#ipx network 10a encap sap sec
After you configure the secondary address, you need to add two subinterfaces.
If you were configuring this network for a real production network
and needed to support multiple frame types, you would use only subinterfaces
and no secondary networks because Cisco will no longer support
secondary commands in the future. The secondary command is only
included here so you understand what it is if you see it in a configuration.
The subinterface numbers can be any number, as the help screen (int
f0/0.?) shows below. The subinterface numbers are only locally significant
and have no bearing on how IPX runs on the internetwork.
