Important Considerations

To see entries for any secondary server, you must:

Establish alternate paths to the same IPX server.

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

A secondary server entry can replace a primary server entry when the primary server is removed from the server table for any reason (for example, if the associated interface goes down, or the primary entry 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.
