Tech Discussion: Multi-Protocol Router v2.0 WAN Links Interoperability
Novell Technical DISCUSSION
TITLE: NetWare WAN Links 2.0 Interoperability
DOCUMENT ID#: TD.S.006
DATE: April 28, 1993
PRODUCT: WAN Links
PRODUCT VERSION: 2.0
SUPERSEDES: NA
This document describes:
- How to configure NetWare WAN Links 2.0 and various third party routers.
- AppleTalk, IP, and IPX routing using synchronous Point to Point (PPP)
connections only.
NOTE:
- LAN configurations are given for the purpose of routing from a WAN to a
LAN.
- If a protocol is not listed for a LAN configuration it does not mean
there is an interoperability problem in a LAN only environment.
- There are no known LAN only incompatibilities with any listed third party
router other than relative to feature sets (i.e. OSPF, IGRP etc.).
FUTURE TESTING
Additional protocol suites will be tested by Novell for routers that
support them, and other WAN technologies will also be tested (i.e. X.25).
This document will be updated periodically as such tests are completed.
VENDOR SUPPORT
Contact your router vendor for support of the IPXWAN specification. Many
vendors (such as Wellfleet) have made a strong commitment to implementing
this standard and new software might be available.
IPXWAN
IPXWAN (RFC 1362) describes the IPX WAN protocol Novell uses to exchange
necessary router to router information prior to exchanging standard IPX
routing information and traffic over WAN datalinks.
Routers which do not follow the IPXWAN specification are not shown below as
providing an IPX connection across a WAN.
IPXWAN is available in NOVLIB Library 9 as IPXWAN.TXT.
PTF 374
PTF 374 (PTF374.ZIP) is the current "Maintenance PTF" for WAN Links V2.0.
It can be downloaded from Compuserve NOVLIB Library 9. PTF 374 is
recommended for all WAN Links installations and, as described below, is
required for some.
PROTOCOLS
IPX
IP
AT (AppleTalk)
