NAME

6       ipx_cmd - bridge between Novell's SCMD driver and local IPX network
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ipx_cmd -A server name [ -l local interface name ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ipx_cmd  moves packets from tapN to server and vice versa.  It is some‐
13       thing like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Netware 5 server  Compatibil‐
14       ity  Mode  Driver  (AKA  Migration Agent) on the other end of wire. You
15       must first configure your kernel tapN device with IPX EthernetII  frame
16       and with network number set up on server (you can use kernel autodetec‐
17       tion).
18

OPTIONS

20       -A server name
21              This is IP name of compatibility mode server. You  can  use  DNS
22              name or dotted quad to specify server address.
23
24       -l local interface name
25              This allows you to specify, which of your IP addresses should be
26              used as IP address of client side of CMD driver. You  must  con‐
27              figure your tapN device with hardware address 7E:01:AA:BB:CC:DD,
28              where AA:BB:CC:DD is your IP address in hexa.

EXAMPLE

31       If you are on server platan.vc.cvut.cz (147.32.240.81) and your  migra‐
32       tion agent runs on server boris.vc.cvut.cz, you can configure your sys‐
33       tem with:
34
35          insmod ethertap
36          ifconfig tap0 hw ether 7E:01:93:20:F0:51 up
37          ipx_interface add -p tap0 EtherII
38          ipx_cmd -A boris.vc.cvut.cz -l 147.32.240.81 &
39

BUGS

41       This program was written to satisfy my own needs and should  be  really
42       improved.  At least it should configure tap interface itself.
