Configuring IPX for Remote Site Connections
You can delete a disabled network using the command:
delete ipx network <network name>
In order to enable IPX to be routed to a remote site, you must configure the following items in the VC profile associated with the remote site connection.
To enable or disable IPX routing in a VC profile use the command:
set vc <vc name>
ipx [DISABLE ENABLE]
The WAN IPX network information consists of the IPX network address for the wide area connection. The IPX network address associated with the WAN connection can be specified by you, learned from the remote site (if you are using PPP as the Network Service for the connection), or the interface can be Unnumbered.
To specify the WAN IPX address using up to 8 hexadecimal characters, use the command:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address <ipx network address>
To specify that the WAN IPX network address should be learned via PPP you can enter FFFFFFFF for the <ipx network address> parameter:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address FFFFFFFF
To specify that the interface is Unnumbered you must enter 00000000 for the <ipx network address> parameter.
set vc <vc name> ipx_address 00000000
Configuring IPX Static A Static route is a configured route that will remain in the routing table until and Framed Routes deleted. Static routes differ from Dynamic routes in that Dynamic routes are
learned
A Framed route is much like a Static route in that you manually configure the route. The difference is that a Static route is defined for the LAN while a Framed route is associated with a remote site connection. Also, while a Static route is active when the LAN is connected, a Framed route is active only when the connection to the associated remote site is active.
If you wish to set up a route to a network on the other side of a remote site, use a
Framed route. If you wish to set up a route to a network through the LAN, use a
Static route. Only use Static and Framed routes for networks not learned using
RIP.
