Here's a quick addressing question.
By default, if you just enter 'ipx routing' and 'vines routing' the router
will generate addresses for you. The ipx address will be the first MAC
address found (AFAIK), and I've no idea where the fines network address is
taken from.
In the Lab, do you think it would be better to assign addresses so that you
know what they are and to make it easier in testing / troubleshooting ?
An example I tested was for router R1 was:
ipx network 0001.0001.0001
vines network 20000001.1
for R3, it's 0003.0003.0003 and 20000003.1 respectively.
I just wondered if anybody had a feel for this ?
Derek...
PS - I initially tried 1111.1111.1111 and 3333.3333.3333 for the IPX
addresses, and all works fine until I needed to setup a default floating
route across a DDR link. Unfortunately the router thinks these addresses are
multicast addresses - that's why I then tried 0001.0001.0001
