tables. For example, Table 5-31 shows the contents of the IPX routing table of R3:
four routes were learned via a routing protocol, which can be RIP, EIGRP, or NLSP. (NLSP is
not covered on the CCNA exam.) Server 1 and Server 2 send RIP updates advertising networks
1000 and 1001, respectively. That is one reason why NetWare servers send RIP updates even if
they have only one interface, as is the case with Server 1.
internal addresses are used as the destination address of packets.
routing algorithm illustrated in Figure 5-33. Encapsulation is also a source of confusion for
many people when considering IPX, particularly when Ethernet is in use. Consider the IPX
packet sent by Client 1 to Server 1 in Figure 5-34. Each successive router discards the data link
header of the incoming frame and builds a new data link header according to the type of
interface. However, Novell supports four different styles of Ethernet header that can be built at
R3. The types of encapsulating Ethernet headers are shown in Figure 5-35 and are listed in
Table 5-32. First, here's a brief summary of encapsulation:
router and placed around a packet, before completing the routing process by forwarding
the frame out an interface.
