Configuring Novell IPX
2.
Notice the different options available. To use the Ethernet_II frame
type, you need to use the arpa keyword. You can use sec instead
of the full command secondary. Notice that you are adding the
Ethernet_II frame type to your Ethernet LAN off of interface E0 on
Router 2501A.
2501A(config-if)#ipx network 10a encapsulation arpa ?
secondary Make this network a secondary network
<cr>
2501A(config-if)#ipx network 10a encapsulation arpa
secondary
3.
You can also add a secondary network number and frame type by
using subinterfaces. There is not a functional difference between using
the secondary command and subinterfaces. However, using subinter-
faces will possibly allow you more configuration control over using the
secondary
command. Use a subinterface command on an Ethernet
network:
2501A#config t
2501A(config)#int e0.?
<0-4294967295> Ethernet interface number
2501A(config)#int e0.1500
2501A(config-subif)#ipx network 10b encap ?

sap IEEE 802.2 on Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring
snap IEEE 802.2 SNAP on Ethernet, Token
Ring, and FDDI
2501A(config-subif)#ipx network 10b encap sap
4.
Notice that you can create over four billion subinterfaces. In the
commands above, I used a number (1500), with no particular sig-
nificance. I also configured the frame type of 802.2 to run on the
LAN. You do not have to use the secondary command when using
subinterfaces.
