Need help routing IPX over IPsec

Feb 11, 2005 2 Replies

How can I route IPX traffic across an IPsec VPN connection?



My VPN is established via Netgear FVS318 to FVS318.



Do I need to use PPTP instead of IPsec? If so, does this mean I can't use the FVS318s?



Can anyone help me with this?



Thanks,

IPSEC is IP only. So you cannot route IPX over it. HOWEVER, I assume you want IPX for an old Novell install (I say old beacuse Novell has used native IP for over 5 years now). You can always use netwareIP to encapsulate the IPX into IP.

We are currently using Netware 5.0. However, since we migrated from 3.11 in

1999 we just kept using the IPX. Since Netware 5.0 has PureIP, how hard is it to convert the server to IP from IPX? Will CMD allow me to use both protocols simultaniously?

Obviously my goal is to implement IP and do away with the IPX so that I can use the FVS318's IPSec to connect remotely...
