ipxXlateFormat OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {ipx8023(1), default(2)}
ACCESS read-write
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"IPX raw translation format. The default setting for
a switching module is default(2). This format performs
acceptable translations for ethernet II and 802.2
encapsulated packets on Ethernet to FDDI.
If the network is running Novell configured as raw 802.3 IPX
between Ethernet and FDDI, ipx802.3(1) option should be
selected. This format will translate 802.3 IPX raw on
Ethernet to the supported format of FDDI SNAP. With
ipx8023(1) selected, a Novell Ethernet II connection cannot
be made. This connection will fail because any SNAP
encapsulated packet on FDDI will be translated to 802.3 on
Ethernet, instead of Ethernet II.
If Format is default(2), IPX packets will be translated as:
Ethernet FDDI Ethernet
--------------------------------------------------------
ethernet 802.3 | FDDI 802.2 | ethernet 802.3/802.2
ethernet II | FDDI SNAP | ethernet II
ethernet 802.3/802.2 | FDDI 802.2 | ethernet 802.3/802.2
ethernet SNAP | FDDI SNAP | ethernet II
If Format is ipx8023(1), IPX packets will be translated as:
Ethernet FDDI Ethernet
--------------------------------------------------------
ethernet 802.3 | FDDI SNAP | ethernet 802.3
ethernet II | FDDI SNAP | ethernet 802.3
ethernet 802.3/802.2 | FDDI 802.2 | ethernet 802.3/802.2
ethernet SNAP | FDDI SNAP | ethernet 802.3"
