Sample config to run Novell IPX over MPLS VPN that is running IP/EIGRP

[hks10]

Hello this is my first time setting up IPX and I cannot find any examples. Does anyone have a sample config to run Novell IPX over MPLS VPN that is set up for IP/EIGRP.

Non IP protocols aren't supported in MPLS L3VPNs (VRFs). VRFs are restricted to IP traffic only.

Here are few alternatives -

1. Use MPLS L2 VPNs to transport non IP traffic.

2. Pass non IP traffic through a GRE tunnel established over a MPLS backbone.

IPX - int T0(GRE) - MPLS - into T0(GRE) - IPX

Refer to the link below to choose the right VPN solution for your needs -
