1.6 IPX Routing Overview
1.6.8 Novell IPX configuration tasks
Configuration of the router for IPX routing involves both global and interface parameters.
  • Global tasks: 
  • Start the IPX routing process. 
  • Enable load sharing if appropriate for your network. Load sharing is the use of 2 or more paths to route packets to the same destination evenly among multiple routers to balance the work and improve network performance. 
  • Interface tasks: 
  • Assign unique network numbers to each interface. Multiple network numbers can be assigned to an interface, allowing support of different encapsulation types. 
  • Set the optional encapsulation type if it is different from the default.
