NAME

       ipx_configure - query/configure IPX behavior

SYNOPSIS

       ipx_configure [ --help | -h ] [ --auto_interface=on|off | -i on|off ] [ --auto_primary=on|off | -p on|off ]

DESCRIPTION

       ipx_configure queries or configures IPX behavior with respect to automatic IPX interface detection.  IPX can be configured to automatically
       create interfaces as they are detected.	It can also be configured to automatically select a primary  interface	when  none  is	explicitly
       selected.   By  default,  it  is  configured to NOT have this behavior.	Without arguments, ipx_configure returns the current configuration
       state.  The behavior with arguments is described in the section OPTIONS.

OPTIONS

       --auto_interface=on|off
       -i on|off
	  This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically creating interfaces.

       --auto_primary=on|off
       -p on|off
	  This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically selecting a primary interface.

       --help
       -h
	  Print out information about utility.

BUGS

       This functionality really belongs in ifconfig(8).

NAME

       ipx_interface - add, delete, or display an IPX interface

SYNOPSIS

       ipx_interface add [-p] device frame_type [network number[:node number]]

       ipx_interface del device frame_type

       ipx_interface delall

       ipx_interface check device frame_type

       ipx_interface help

DESCRIPTION

       ipx_interface adds, deletes, or displays IPX interfaces depending on the option selected.

       An  IPX interface is the item to which IPX sockets are bound.  An IPX interface corresponds to an IPX Network Number which corresponds to a
       physical device and frame type.	A sample IPX Interface would be:

       Network Number: 0x00ABCDEF

       Device: Eth0

       Frame Type: 802.2.

       There is a special IPX interface per host known as the PRIMARY or default interface.

       You should specify node number only if you really know, what you are doing - on point-to-point devices, on loopback and on  tap	device	if
       you are running Compatibility mode driver.

   OPTIONS
       add    This  option  is used to create an IPX interface.  If the -p flag is used, the interface is made PRIMARY.  The network number can be
	      optionally assigned.  If it is not assigned, it is set to 0 which indicates it should be detected from the traffic on the network.

       del    This option is used to delete an IPX interface.

       delall This option is used to delete all IPX interfaces.

       check  This option is used to display the device, frame type, and network number of an IPX interface.

       help   This option displays information about the utility.
