Important Considerations

To see entries for any secondary routes, you must:

Establish alternate paths to the same IPX network.

Enable the IPX secondary route/server option. See “ipx secondary” at the end of this chapter.

A secondary route entry can replace a primary route entry when the primary route is removed from the routing table for any reason (for example, if the route reaches its age limit).

For a CoreBuilder 3500 system, the route table display shows the range for the routing table primary entries in the format n – m, where n is the current number of entries and m is the maximum number of primary entries.

Fields in the IPX Secondary Route Display

Field

Description

 

 

Address

Unique 4-byte network address of a segment in

 

the system’s routing table.

Age

Number of seconds that have elapsed since the last

 

time the router sent a packet.

Hops

Number of hops, or the number of routers that

 

must be crossed to reach the network segment.

Interface

System-assigned number for the interface.

Node

6-byte MAC address of the router that can forward

 

packets to the segment. A node address of all

 

zeroes (00-00-00-00-00-00) means that the

 

route is connected directly to the router.

Ticks

Number of ticks, which is an estimate of time in

 

seconds, that the packet takes to reach the

 

network segment. There are 18.21 ticks in a

 

second.
