  RFC 1420 (rfc1420) - SNMP over IPX
This specification describes the mapping of SNMP onto the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol [2] used in Novell NetWare environments.
Mapping SNMP onto IPX Mapping SNMP onto IPX is straight-forward since IPX provides a datagram service very similar to that provided by IP/UDP.
Furthermore, this limit is the maximum packet length guaranteed to traverse IPX routers which do not provide fragmentation.

  Linux IPX-HOWTO
IPX is similar in functionality to the IP protocol used by the tcp/ip community.
IPX clients are given this number by the server when starting, they only require to know the correct frame type.
IPX does not use the concept of subnetworking and so the sort of associations that you have between network addresses and networks is different.

  IPX Routing
IPX RIP is similar to the routing information protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite, but it is a different protocol.
IPX SAP filters enable you to prevent the SAP table from becoming too large by explicitly including or excluding servers, services, or service types on any interface.
IPX SAP filters contain a set of rules that determine which remote NetWare services will be excluded from (or included in) the MAX TNT SAP table or SAP response packets.

 Novell IPX: Internetwork Packet Exchange protocol
Novell IPX network addresses are unique and are represented in hexadecimal format that consist of two parts: a network number and a node number.
IPX's use of a MAC address for the node number enables the system to send nodes to predict what MAC address to use on a data link.
The maximum length of the data section of an IPX packet varies from a minimum of 30 bytes (the header only) depending on the lower layer MAC protocol (Ethernet or token ring) that is being used.

 IPX-cellence overlooked?
In a recent column I challenged "high-end" IPX users to speak up about what they were doing with IPX that could not be done better with IP.
Another IPX advocate admitted that his company has weaned the protocol from its WANs, but uses it on LANs for a number of reasons, including to maintain support for legacy applications, such as payroll, that were customized to run over IPX networks that support NetWare-related Btrieve.
And while IPX as a routing protocol will remain an inherent part of a switch's capabilities for many vendors, judging by the number of respondents, and not their fervor, it seems that the user community has little interest in IPX numbers, let alone any IPX-pectations.

 NetWare Protocols
IPX is a connectionless datagram-based network protocol and, as such, is similar to the Internet Protocol found in TCP/IP networks.
IPX's use of a MAC address for the node number enables the system to send nodes to predict what MAC address to use on a data link.
The IPX packet is the basic unit of Novell NetWare internetworking.

 NetWare/IPX on UIUCnet
IPX packets that are transmitted on an Ethernet can be encoded, or framed, in several different ways.
All IPX network numbers should be assigned according to the campus standard, described in Appendix A. All servers on a LAN should support one common framing method, either "Ethernet II" (strongly preferred) or "802.3".
In NetWare's IPX protocol, a "network" is a logical channel shared by nodes that are capable of communicating directly with each other.

 SPARCstation IPX SUN4/50 Architecture
The SparcStation IPX was one of the most popular "lunchbox" machines made, so they are easy to find and find parts for.
The IPX has pretty decent performance for a machine of its age, mostly due to a large (1MB) cache for the CPU.
The IPX and the SparcStation 2 are very similar performance-wise.

 RFC 1298 (rfc1298) - SNMP over IPX
This memo addresses the use of SNMP over the IPX protocol, which has become quite widespread principally due to the popularity of Novell NetWare.
Considerations relevant to choosing a transport for use with SNMP are described in [5].
Since IPX can run over a variety of -- subnet architectures, the physical node address may not -- require all 6 octets.

 IPX Data Encapsulation
IPX was the dominant LAN protocol in the late 80's and early 90's.
With IPX, data encapsulation involves taking IPX datagrams from Layer 3 and building frames at Layer 2 in preparation for transmission over the physical medium (Layer 1).
However, when configuring any IPX device on the network, including a router, frame type assignments (as a general rule) should be consistent....

 White Paper: IP/IPX Router Communications on the AUX port
While the example uses EIGRP for IP routing and RIP for IPX routing, the actual choice of routing protocols should be arbitrary as the routing protocol is used only to control the activation of floating static routes.
In this sanitized version, the Ethernet on the 4700 is IP 192.168.1.0/24, IPX A00001; the Ethernet at the remote 2503 is 192.168.2.0/24, IPX A00002, and the Asynchronous link is IP 192.168.31.0/24, IPX B00002; and no other communications links or router features such as security are included.
The IPX address in the dialer map statements is derived from the remote's internal network number and must also be correct for IPX routing to function.

 Campus IPX Internetworking FAQ
IPX (Internetwork Packet eXchange) is the suite of network protocols natively used by NetWare servers and clients.
But the term 'routing IPX' has become a short-hand way of referring to the new service; and as a result servers, subnets, and routers are said to 'route IPX'.
In August 1994 the decision was made to route IPX on the campus backbone.

 IPX network protocol, ipx sap, novell netware network
A connectionless service is when a process uses IPX to communicate with a node when no link between the two is established.
Servers make themselves known to clients by name, type, IPX address, node address, socket number, and hops to the server, and this is stored in the servers bindery.
Bay Networks routers use a boxwide services table rather than a bindery and when the router receives a SAP packet, it compares the contents to that of the service table and resets the age timer to zero if there is a match, or adds the new entry.

 What are your IPX-pectations?
Even though they all claimed to offer IPX routing support, no one was interested in participating in such a benchmark.
Among the requirements is qualifying the packet throughput of IPX routing on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet workgroup and core switches.
The hidden message there is that so few people are asking for IPX scripts that the test-tool vendor has decided not to spend the time developing them.

 Novell Documentation: Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 - IPX Configuration Decisions
The IPX Address Mapping Gateway enables the summarization of routes in a manner transparent to the routing protocol by mapping many network numbers to a single number outside the local network.
IPX Route Aggregation allows your router to compactly report many IPX networks to a connecting backbone network.
IPX Route Aggregation is most useful when several RIP networks are attached to an NLSP backbone network.

 Cisco Sem3 Lesson 7 - Novell IPX
Novell IPX is similar to TCP/IP and will operate within the same network implementation and the same route - provided you have a multiprotocol route.
An IPX network client issues a GNS request to solicit either a direct response from a connected server or a response from a router that tells it where on the internetwork the service can be located.
Assign the same IPX network number(s) to the router that are in use by the IPX devices connected to that router, whether the interface is a LAN or WAN connection.

 Linux.com - Configuring an IPX Router
Again, just as with IP, it is actually the kernel that manages the forwarding of datagrams between IPX network interfaces, but it performs this according to a set of rules called the IPX routing table.
To avoid this problem, a device was developed that allows an IPX host to be known by a single route-independent network/node address for the purposes of SAP propagation.
An internal IPX network is of absolutely no use to you unless your host both provides a service and has more than one IPX interface active.

 IPX
The IPX address is 80 bits (10 bytes).  The first 32 bits is the Network number (assigned by the network administrator), and the last 48 bits is the node number, which usually is the Media Access Control (MAC) address for one of the system's network interface cards (NICs).
Assign IPX network number with a specific  encapsulation.  The privious commands did not specify, so the IOS assumed the default encapsulation protocol, Novell_Ether (Cisco’s term, it is called Ethernet_802.3 by Novell).  To dictate what encapsulation will be used :
NOTE:  above we created IPX network 11a on the primary interface int e0, and 11b on e0 but used a secondary interface.  Now we have created another secondary network address, but this time used a sub-interface.  Do not use the “IPX network networknumber secondary” command for sub-interfaces.

 IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange) (Linktionary term)
IPX and IP are connectionless datagram protocols, while SPX and TCP are connection-oriented protocols.
A complete IPX address is a 12-byte hexadecimal number that may look similar to the following, where the first part is the network address and the second part is the hardwired node address:

 Sangoma - TCP/IP
The following is a brief introduction to IPX routing in the context of a Novell environment.
Because IPX is always dynamically routed, and the routing architecture works by "learning" network addressing automatically, there is usually no need to do anything special in the setup of an IPX network in order to get routing to function.
C then receives this IPX packet and observes that the IPX packet header's destination address is not its own, so it transmits the packet on network DDEEAADD knowing that E is on that network, using an Ethernet header destination address of 22-5A-4D-8C-C3-DA.
