Configure IPX Routing

By default, IPX routing is enabled on the SSR.

Enable IPX RIP

IPX RIP is enabled by default on the SSR. You must first create an IPX interface or assign an IPX interface to a VLAN before RIP will start learning routes.

Enable SAP

IPX SAP is enabled by default on the SSR. You must first create an IPX interface or assign an IPX interface to a VLAN before SAP will start learning services.

Configure Static Routes

In a Novell NetWare network, the SSR uses RIP to determine the best paths for routing IPX. However, you can add static RIP routes to RIP routing table to explicitly specify a route.

To add a static RIP route, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Add a static RIP route.

ipx add route <networkaddr>

<nextrouter or network node> <metric> <ticks>
