First, hi to the group. I am new here. Been lurking, waiting for the
email letting me know I am ready to participate. Test date is Feb 17-18 in
RTP.
Sandy, I finished this same lab about an hour ago. My thoughts are:
1. I wouldn't be surprised if Cisco expects us to know defaults for
various Novell versions. With Appletalk, and others, off the test, I don't
mind jamming some IPX details in my head. I noticed he didn't seem to
specify encapsulation in any of the examples. My thought was that we
needed to specify 'ipx network 404040 encap sap' on r4 e0 and r2 e0,
although my IPX experience is now the sum of having done this lab.
2. My nlsp worked fine on hdlc also. I don't have an answer. Perhaps
someone else will provide the reason on this one.
3. I did the same thing. Got it working without IPXWAN, then add it
later. Seemed to work both ways. Just re-affirming what you said, but like
you, waiting for someone to post the reason here.
