IPX routing over Frame-Relay

[Speaker]

Tried this in the Novell forum, with no luck.

I need to route the traffic between our HQ and an out-of-state office. A frame-relay network connects the offices. We have a Cisco 3620 router at the HQ, and a Cisco 1604 at the branch office.

I've enabled IPX routing on the routers, but next I have to configure it on the interfaces. Can anyone give me pointers on how to do this?

I've found a few docs on Cisco's site about routing LAN IPX traffic, but I'm fuzzy on how to route it over FR. Do I need three IPX networks (two lan, and one between the routers)?

An article with/or step-by-step instructions would be great.

TIA

You will end using either RIP or EIGRP for the routing protocol..

You need to enable IPX routing on both routers..
router1(config)#ipx routing

;config lan interface
router1(config-if)#ipx network <ipxnetwork> encapsulation <frametype>
;IPX network must be different on the two LANs
;
;config serial interface
router1(config-if)#ipx network <ipxnetwork>
; encapsulation is set for the serial connection.. in this case Frame Relay
;IPX network must be SAME on both ends of the serial frame connection


router1#show protocol ; this will verify IPX on the interfaces

This should get you going

PS- I'll let you figure out the SAP filters and access-lists for that ;-)
