NetWare IPX addressing uses a network number and a node number. Which statement is not true?

(a) The network address is administratively assigned and can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits long

(b) The node address is always administratively assigned

(c) The node address is usually the MAC address

(d) If the MAC address is used as the node address, then IPX eliminates the use of ARP

This question was posed to me in quiz.

Best answer
Correct choice is (b) The node address is always administratively assigned

To elaborate: The network address can be up to 16 hexadecimal digits in length. The node number is 12 hexadecimal digits. The node address is usually the MAC address. An example IPX address is 4a1d.0000.0c56.de33. The network part is 4a1d. The node part is 0000.0c56.de33. The network number is assigned by the system administrator of the Novell network and the MAC address/node address is not assigned by the administrator.
