protocol for IPX. It is responsible for configuring, enabling, and disabling the IPX
protocol modules on both ends of the point-to-point link.
Network Number
This field shows the IPX network number of the port. There is a unique number for
each port that does not correlate with the existing network number. You can edit this
field only if IPXCP is enabled.
Node Number
This field shows the IPX remote node number of the port. Each port must have a
unique node number. You can edit this field only if IPXCP is enabled.
CIPX Compression
Select Enable to enable CIPX (Compressed Internetwork Packet Exchange) com-
pression of IPX headers for the port. Select Disable if you do not want CIPX com-
pression. If you select Enable, CIPX compression must also be enabled on the server
for your choice to have an effect. You can edit this field only if IPXCP is enabled.
NetBIOS over IPX
This field allows you to enable or disable routing of NetBIOS over IPX packets
through the port. Enable it if you are using applications that require NetBIOS over
IPX support. You can edit this field only if IPXCP is enabled.
BCP
This field shows the status of the Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) for the port. Enable
BCP if the other end of the PPP link supports BCP.
IPCP
This field enables IP for the port. Select Disabled if TCP/IP or PPP is not to be used.
Local Address
This field shows the IP local network address of the port. This field can be edited only
for LAN-to-LAN ports, and only if IPCP is enabled. For all client-to-LAN
connections, the local address is the same as the IP address of the LAN port. For
LAN-to-LAN ports, make sure the IP address is on a different network or a subnet of
any of the existing networks.
Remote Address
This field shows the IP network address of the port. It is the address assigned to the
remote PPP client. It must be on the same network as the IP local address. This field
can be edited only if IPCP is enabled. It cannot be edited for client-to-LAN ports if
DHCP is enabled.
Subnet Mask
This field contains the mask used to specify the subnetwork part of the IP address.
For all client-to-LAN connections it is the same as the LAN network. See “IP
Addressing” on page 7.
VJ Compression
Select Enabled to enable Van Jacobson compression of TCP/IP headers on the PPP
link. VJ compression is used by many PPP clients. Select Disabled to disable Van
Jacobson compression. If IPCP and VJ Compression are enabled, a dial-in PPP client
that uses this compression method may experience greater speed than with VJ
Compression disabled.
