Step one: Determine what kind of PVC topology you want...
Mesh: a-b a-c a-d b-c b-d c-d
Ring: a-b b-c c-d d-a
Star: a-b a-c a-d
Step two: Order it from the telco
Step three: Install it.
Step four: configure IRX's Let's assume we do a mesh and assign networks
as follows:
a = A
b = B
c = C
d = D
a-b = AB aDLCI 16 bDLCI 16
a-c = AC aDLCI 17 cDLCI 16
a-d = AD aDLCI 18 dDLCI 16
b-c = BC bDLCI 17 cDLCI 17
b-d = BD bDLCI 18 dDLCI 17
c-d = CD cDLCI 18 dDLCI 18
Set the DLCI lists appropriately:
A
ether0 ipx network A
s1 ipx DLCI 16:AB 17:AC 18:AD
B
ether0 ipx network B
s1 ipx DLCI 16:AB 17:BC 18:BD
C
ether0 ipx network C
s1 ipx DLCI 16:AC 17:BC 18:CD
D
ether0 ipx network D
s1 ipx DLCI 16:AD 17:BD 18:CD
Note: This is general configuration information only. I have not actually
done exactly this, but it should be at least close to what works for Novell.
This explains your previous message. Premeire internet service provider using
Novell... <sound of head shaking>
