</dd></dl><p><b>PrimaryNetNumber: </b>Every IPX WAN router has a
&#34;primary network number&#34;. This is an IPX network number unique to the
entire internet. This number will be a permanently assigned network number for
the router.</p><dl>
<dd>
<p>A 32-bit number assigned by a network administrator;
set to 0 on the local network.</p>
</dd></dl><p><b>Node: </b>A 48-bit number that identifies the LAN
hardware address. If the node number is FFFF FFFF FFFF, it means broadcast. If
the node number is 0000 0000 0001, that means it is the server.</p><p><b>SysName: </b>An administratively assigned name for
this managed node. By convention, this is the node&#39;s fully qualified domain
name.</p><p><b>MaxPathSplits: </b>The maximum number of path
splits implies the number of network interface boards in the server that are
connected to the network or the number of ports in the server that are
connected to a switch. The highest possible number is 8.</p><p><b>IfCount: </b>Indicates the number of available
interfaces.</p><p><b>DestCount: </b>This value indicates the maximum
destinations (networks) that the user expects the router to learn. This is used
to pre-allocate table sizes for network tables. Changing this value can greatly
affect the memory used by the IPX, but it can also speed learning times.</p><p><b>ServCount: </b>This value indicates the maximum
services that the user expects the router to learn. This is used to
pre-allocate table sizes for service tables. Changing this value can greatly
affect the memory used by the IPX, but it can also speed learning times.</p></div>
