Configuring Novell IPX

14.

E. The Cisco default encapsulation on an Ethernet interface is Novell-
Ether (802.3).

15.

C. The IPX node number is typically the MAC address of the host or
router interface.

16.

D. The Cisco keyword sap is used to enable the 802.2 frame type on
Ethernet.

17.

A. The Cisco keyword arpa is used to enable the Ethernet_II frame
type on Ethernet.

18.

C. The show protocols command shows the routed protocols and
the configured interfaces and addresses of each routed protocol.

19.

C. The

show

ipx servers command shows you all the IPX servers

advertising SAPs on your network.

20.

C. The

debug

ipx routing activity command will show you the

IPX RIP packets being sent and received on your router.

21.

A, C. Novell's IPX implementation includes NetBIOS and the Net-
Ware Core Protocol (NCP). Traceroute is from the TCP/IP protocol
suite. RTMP is a routing protocol used by AppleTalk and is part of the
AppleTalk protocol suite.

22.

B. A Novell IPX address is 80 bits (10 bytes) in length. It is built with
a 32-bit (4-byte) network component and a 48-bit (6-byte) node com-
ponent, expressed in hexadecimal format. The node component is
generally the MAC address of the local interface.

23.

D. An IPX network number can be up to 8 hexadecimal digits in length.
An IPX node number (MAC address) is 12 hexadecimal digits in length.
The IPX address is written in the form nnnnnnnn.hhhh.hhhh.hhhh.

24.

A, C. The node portion of an IPX address uses the MAC address of
the host's interface. Since IPX includes the MAC address within the
IPX address, there's no need for an address resolution protocol's map-
ping of the Network layer address to the Data Link layer address.
When IPX is run over a WAN serial interface, the serial interface
borrows a MAC address from one of its LAN interfaces.

25.

A. The Get Nearest Server (GNS) protocol is used by an IPX client to
request the nearest server for end-user authentication purposes. A
router or NetWare server uses information contained in SAP packets
to provide the information requested in a GNS reply packet.
