Configuring IPX Routing 109

Configuring IPX	This section includes procedures to enable IPX routing and to optimize IPX
Routing	for dial-up lines. For information about fine-tuning your IPX
	configuration, including running IPXWAN on a PPP link between the
	bridge/router and a NetWare Multi-Protocol Router, and configuring
	NLSP, see Using Enterprise OS Software.

Assigning Addresses To enable IPX routing, follow these steps: and Enabling IPX

Routing

1Configure the network number for each port routing IPX using:

SETDefault !<port> -IPX NETnumber = &<number>(0-FFFFFFFD)

2Enable IPX routing for each port using:

SETDefault !<port> -IPX CONTrol = ROute

3Enable the NLSP dynamic routing protocol using:

SETDefault !<port> -NLSP CONTrol = Enable

Optimizing IPX for	Disable WAN broadcasts to reduce traffic on your dial-on-demand dial-up
Dial-On-Demand	lines using:
Dial-Up Lines	SETDefault !<port> -IPX CONTrol = NoWanBcast
	NoWanBcast causes the IPX router to drop WAN broadcast packets to
	prevent excessive traffic.
Configuring Static	Routes dynamically learned are automatically purged from the routing
Routes	table if they are not readvertised within a certain period of time.
	If you want to add a route to the routing table that will not be purged
	from the table, eliminate route advertisements required for dynamic
	route learning, and optimize the use of the available bandwidth on
	slow serial data links, you must add the route as a static route.
	If a destination network is reachable with both a static route and a
	learned route, the router uses the static route unless you specify the
	optional Override value in the ADD ROUte command. If a learned route
	is available, regardless of precedence, it overrides the static route when
	the Override value is used.
