3Com Switch 7750 Series
Command Reference Guide — IP / IPX Chapter 3 IPX Configuration Commands
3-15
Description
Use the ipx route load-balance-path command to configure the maximum number of
equivalent routes to the same destination.
Use the undo ipx route load-balance-path command to restore the default value.
By default, the maximum number of equivalent routes to the same destination is 1.
The maximum number of equivalent routes is the maximum number of active
equivalent routes to the same destination in the current system. If the new number is
less than the number of the current active routes, the system deactivates those
excessive routes.
Example
# Set the maximum number of equivalent routes to the same destination to 30.

Syntax
ipx route max-reserve-path paths

View

Parameter
paths: The maximum number of dynamic routes saved in the device to the same
destination. It is in the range of 1 to 255.
Description
Use the ipx route max-reserve-path command to configure the maximum number of
dynamic routes saved in the device to the same destination.
Use the undo ipx route max-reserve-path command to restore the default value.
By default, the maximum number of dynamic routes to the same destination is 4.
When the number of dynamic routes saved in the device to the same destination
exceeds the specified maximum value, the new dynamic routes are dropped directly
without being added into the routing table. When the configured new value is less than
the old one, the switch, however, does not delete the excessive route entries. These
route entries either time out or are manually deleted.
