.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B ipx_interface
|
|
adds, deletes, or displays IPX interfaces depending on the option selected.
|
|
.P
|
|
An IPX interface is the item to which IPX sockets are bound.
|
|
An IPX interface corresponds to an IPX Network Number which corresponds
|
|
to a physical device and frame type. A sample IPX Interface would be:
|
|
.LP
|
|
Network Number: 0x00ABCDEF
|
|
.LP
|
|
Device: Eth0
|
|
.LP
|
|
Frame Type: 802.2.
|
|
.P
|
|
There is a special IPX interface per host known as the
|
|
.B PRIMARY
|
|
or default interface.
|
|
.P
|
|
You should specify \fBnode number\fP only if you really know, what you
|
|
are doing - on \fIpoint-to-point\fP devices, on \fIloopback\fP and on
|
|
\fItap\fP device if you are running \fBCompatibility mode driver\fP.
