ipx_cmd - bridge between Novell's SCMD driver and local
IPX network
SYNOPSIS
ipx_cmd -A server name [ -l local interface name ]
DESCRIPTION
ipx_cmd moves packets from tapN to server and vice versa.
It is something like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Net
ware 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
-A server name
This is IP name of compatibility mode server. You
can use DNS name or dotted quad to specify server
address.
-l local 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.
EXAMPLE
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 &
BUGS
This program was written to satisfy my own needs and
should be really improved. At least it should configure
tap interface itself.
