| 1.6.4 | Cisco encapsulation names

When you configure an IPX network, you may need to specify an encapsulation type on either the Novell servers and clients or on the Cisco router. To help you specify the appropriate encapsulation type, use the table in the graphic. The table matches the Novell term to the equivalent Cisco IOS term for the same framing types. When you configure Cisco IOS software for Novell IPX, use the Cisco name for the appropriate encapsulation. Make sure the encapsulations on the clients, servers, and routers all match. If you do not specify an encapsulation type when you configure the router for IPX, the router will use the default encapsulation type on its interfaces. Note: The default Ethernet encapsulation type on Cisco routers does not match the default Ethernet encapsulation type on Novell servers after NetWare 3.11. The default encapsulation types on Cisco router interfaces and their keywords are: Ethernet-novell-ether Token Ring-sap FDDI-snap
