IPX Menu From the ipx menu, you can view information about and conﬁgure Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) interfaces, routes, and servers. You can also administer the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced RIP mode, Service Advertising Protocol (SAP), and statistics. Figure 1-3 shows the IPX menu. For example, to deﬁne a new IPX interface, enter ipx at the top-level menu, interface at the ipx menu, and then deﬁne at the interface menu.
