Simon, You do not need to configured 'area (interna net #)' under ipx router
nlsp for nlsp to speak to other nlsp neighbors. However, don't forget to
enable nlsp on the interfaces that you want it to talk on, 'ipx nlsp
enable'. As long as you have an area-address configured under nlsp that
corresponds to an nlsp enabled interface where an nlsp neighbor can be
found, nlsp will work (and automatically redistribute rip). Below is my
config and the corresponding route table. IPXWAN is useful on wan
interfaces to dynamically calculate an accurate cost.

Can someone please help me understand NLSP...

T/F

1) The ipx internal network number does not need to be in an area configured
in the NLSP process?

2) NLSP will run over HDLC, Frame Relay, ATM

3) IPXWAN is only needed for connection to another box running IPXWAN - it
is not needed to establish link parameters between NLSP speaking devices.

I should understand this stuff. NOW I'm scared!!
