ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for enabling an IPX router to enter a network. The router does so by (a) transmitting on the network an RIP general request with null source and destination network designations; (b) receiving replies from other routers and determining therefrom the correct source and destination network designations; and thereafter (c) activating an interface to the network including transmitting a RIP response broadcast with the correct source and destination network designations; and (d) in the event that a reply is not received to the RIP general request within a predetermined time, otherwise activating the interface to the network.
