Might as well keep it all one flat network then. Or use a login script
command to un-set the hard-coded client network numbers and frame types.

The client has hard coded the clients network number and frame type...
:(
Thanks

Larry,
Why not leave all the servers in the one VLAN/IPX network you've
always used, and then put all the clients in new VLANs/IPX networks? IPX
clients for the most part learn their network number when they boot up, and
don't need any configuration if the network number changes.

Hey all,
Just looking to see if anyone has done bridging of IPX across 802.1q trunk
links on a 6509.
I'm in process of ordering some new Sup-2's running Native mode, and I'm
having trouble determining if I can in fact bridge IPX across a trunk link.
Its not by choice that I'm doing this, but the current env. Is all one big
IPX network in bridging mode. I'm going to rip out the Sup-1 and replace it
with 2 of the Sup-2's. The 6509 is going to have Gig trunk ports to several
floors connecting up to 3550's. Currently the DC servers and the clients are
all hard-coded for frame type and network number. The Servers are running
some special applications that are going to prevent me from changing there
network number so I think that I'm only left with the option of bridging IPX
until I can complete the migration to IP only. There are 300+ clients and
changing the clients isn't an option...
I have found documentation stating that it can be done on routers, but I
can't find any confirmation that it can be done on the 6509 sup cards. I
don't see why not, but I'm trying to eliminate any potential cut-over
problems before they happen.
Any insight or pointers is greatly appreciated as always!
Larry
