374CHAPTER 24: CONFIGURING IPX

Perform the following task in interface view.

Table 407 Enable IPX interface

Operation	Command
Enable IPX interface	ipx network network
Delete IPX interface	undo ipx	network

By default, IPX is disabled on all interfaces after being started.

Delete interface IPX, then IPX configuration is removed from the interface, static service information and static routing information will be deleted.

3Configure Relative Parameters of IPX RIP

aConfigure IPX static route

RIP is used by IPX to decide the best path. Though a routing protocol can refresh a routing table dynamically, you may want to add a static route to routing table manually, and clearly specify how to arrive at a destination. Thus, the priority of IPX routes is adopted in the 3Com Router series, there is, the default priority of static routes is 10 and that of dynamic routes is 60. Smaller value indicates higher priority of the route. When selecting routes, among all routes to the same destination, a router selects the one of highest priority.

Note that once you have created a static route, if one section of the route is faulty, communication will be interrupted and the message will be sent to a destination that does not exist.

Perform the following task in system view.

Table 408 Configure IPX RIP static route

Operation	Command
Configure IPX static route	ipx route network.node tick ticks
	hop hops [ preference value]
Remove IPX static route	undo ipx route { network [
	network.node float static
	preference value ] all }

By default, there is no static route.

The default priority of IPX static route is 10 and that of IPX dynamic route is 60. Smaller value indicates higher priority of the route. For default route, the value of network.node should be FFFFFFFE.

After configuring a default route, enable/disable it according to actual conditions.

Table 409 Enable/Disable a Default Route

Operation	Command
Enable a default route	ipx default-route
Disable a default route	undo ipx	default-route

By default, enable a default route, i.e. all packets which cannot find their routing can be forwarded via this route.

bConfigure updating interval of IPX RIP

You can set the interval for RIP to update IPX module. The router will send RIP updated broadcast message at intervals.
