304 Chapter 5: Network Protocols
The first sample is a basic configuration for the network in Figure 5-37. Example 5-18, Example
5-19, and Example 5-20 provide the configuration.
NOTE
The IPX samples also contain IP configuration. This is not required for correct operation of
IPX. However, to Telnet to the routers to issue commands, IP must be configured. In fact, in
almost every network with Cisco routers, IP is indeed configured. Therefore, the IPX examples
generally include IP configuration.
