| 1.6.8 | Novell IPX configuration tasks

Configuration of the router for IPX routing involves both global and interface parameters. Global tasks: Start the IPX routing process. Enable load sharing if appropriate for your network. Load sharing is the use of 2 or more paths to route packets to the same destination evenly among multiple routers to balance the work and improve network performance. Interface tasks: Assign unique network numbers to each interface. Multiple network numbers can be assigned to an interface, allowing support of different encapsulation types. Set the optional encapsulation type if it is different from the default.
