Important Considerations
■Before you define static routes on the system, define at least one IPX
interface. See “ipx interface define” earlier in this chapter for more
details.
■Static routes remain in the routing table until you remove them or
until you remove the corresponding interface.
■If an interface goes down, routes are temporarily removed from the
routing table until the interface comes back up.
■Static routes take precedence over dynamically learned routes to the
same destination. You can have a maximum of 32 static routes.
