Viewing the IPX Routing Table

The ipxr command is used to display the IPX Routing Table. The entries in the table show the
routes entered by the IPX RIP protocol and the static routes that you may have entered manu-
ally. All entries in the table are sorted by destination network. The IPX Routing Table can
contain a maximum of 2,010 routes.

Displaying All Entries in the IPX Routing Table

To display all entries in the IPX Routing Table, enter the following command:
ipxr
A screen similar to the following displays:
Displaying all (4) routes:
Dest Net Router Hops Delay Static Aged Redir Chg Dir GP:VL

The fields on this screen have the following meanings:
Dest Net
The destination network IPX address.
Router
The IPX address (network.node) of the next hop router to reach the destination network.
Hops
The number of routers between this node and the destination network.
Delay
The number of “ticks” between this node and the destination network. A “tick” is about 1/
18th of a second.
Static
Whether this route was statically defined (see the aipxsr command).
Aged
Indicates if this route has timed out. Once a route times out it is kept in the routing table for
10 “ticks.” Once the 10 “ticks” expire, the route is deleted.
Redir
Indicates that a route to an IPX network that was formerly reachable via a direct interface has
been replaced by an alternate route.
