ipx_cmd8
Bridge between novell's scmd driver and local ipx network
Usage
ipx_cmd -A
server
name
[-l
local
interface
name]
Overview
ipx_cmd moves packets from tapN to server and vice versa. It is something like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Netware 5 server Compatibility Mode Driver (AKA Migration Agent) on the other end of wire. You must first configure your kernel tapN device with IPX EthernetII frame and with network number set up on server (you can use kernel autodetection).
Options
-Aserver name-
This is IP name of compatibility mode server. You can use DNS name or dotted quad to specify server address.
-llocal interface name-
This allows you to specify, which of your IP addresses should be used as IP address of client side of CMD driver. You must configure your tapN device with hardware address
7E:01:AA:BB:CC:DD, where AA:BB:CC:DD is your IP address in hexa.
Examples
If you are on server platan.vc.cvut.cz (147.32.240.81) and your migration agent runs on server boris.vc.cvut.cz, you can configure your system with:
insmod ethertap
ifconfig tap0 hw ether 7E:01:93:20:F0:51 up
ipx_interface add -p tap0 EtherII
ipx_cmd -A boris.vc.cvut.cz -l 147.32.240.81 &
