IPXBIND(8)

NAME
ipxbind - bind an IPX network number to an interface

SYNOPSIS
ipxbind [-v] <network> <driver> dix|802.3|802.2|snap

DESCRIPTION
Ipxbind assigns IPX network number to a logical network interface by adding direct route to the IPX kernel routing table. Logical network interface is identified by name of a network interface (e.g. eth0) and data link protocol (e.g. IEEE 802.3). Network number assigned to interface must agree with configuration of other IPX internetwork routers connected to the same network.
 Binding 0 to an interface causes kernel to try to discover IPX network number automatically (it is possible if at least one other running IPX router is connected to the interface network). Use of autobinding is not recommended and usually impossible for machines acting as IPX internetwork routers.

OPTIONS
-v
    Verbose mode.
network
    IPX network number (hexadecimal) to be assigned (valid range is 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF).
driver
    Name of the network interface.
dix|802.3|802.2|snap
    Data link protocol.

EXAMPLES
ipxbind AE34B78F eth0 dix
    Binds IPX network AE34B78F to the first ethernet card and data link protocol DIX (sometimes refered as frame Ethernet II).
ipxbind 0 eth1 802.3
    Initiates autobinding IPX network on the second ethernet card and data link protocol IEEE 802.3. IPX network number should be discovered within one minute.
ipxbind 67BF lo dix
    Creates internal IPX network 67BF. It is needed to achieve optimal routing on machines attached to more than one IPX network (note: machine can be attached to more IPX networks using one physical interface and multiple data link protocols).
