This is the maximum RIP packet size (in bytes), including the IPX header (30
bytes) and the LAN MAC header (if transmitted on a LAN interface). The default
value for this parameter is 446.
Max VC
This parameter is only conÞgurable if you have selected X.25 as your Interface
Type. It speciÞes the maximum number of virtual circuits over which IPX trafÞc
will be transmitted in parallel. The default value for this parameter is 1.
Adding or Modifying IPX Interfaces
First, access the IPX Interface ConÞguration window (see ConÞguring IPX
Interfaces, page 10-2).
To add a new IPX interface:
1. Enter the IPX Interface Number, the IPX Interface Type, and the other
configurable values for each interface.
2. Click on to add your new entry.
To modify an existing entry:
1. In the list box, click to select the IPX Interface you wish to modify. The
selected entry will be highlighted. (Note that you can only modify one entry at
a time.)
2. Edit the fields, as desired. If you would like to return to the original values,
click on the Refresh button.
3. Click on to modify the selected entry.
To delete an existing entry:
1. In the list box, click to select the IPX Interface you wish to delete. The selected
entry will be highlighted. (Note that you can only delete one entry at a time.)
2. Click on to delete the selected entry.
NOTE
After you have made system-level changes (such as conÞguring an IPX Interface), you
must apply those changes by rebooting the FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 device, or through
console management via the [F7] command.
