If you have to automatically discover encapsulation type & network
numbers on a link do this.

Create subinterfaces on the link & put different bogus IPX numbers on
each of them & specify a different encapsulation on each of them.

Do a debug ipx packet detail & do a no shut on the interface.

You will see a bad packet response coming from the subinterface with
the proper encapsulation on it & it will come from the correct network
number!

Guy,
   Not just specific to the lab, but I find that in 'the real world',
many customers still have problems with the whole concept of IPX
encapsulation types as they apply to routing. Be sure to have those
down.

Does anyone have a list of IPX gotcha's that they wouldn't mind
sharing?
I am ok with all the basic protocols and stuff, but I don't really
have
a list of "watch out for this". Thanks.
