IPX Static Routes

IPX STATIC ROUTES

Note: With the availability of Triggered RIP/SAP (page 343), the configuration of static routes is no longer necessary but still supported. Situations may arise in which a remote router does not support our implementation of Triggered RIP/SAP. In this case, it would be necessary to configure a static route to that particular router.

CONFIGURING IPX STATIC ROUTES

USING CFGEDIT

1.From the IPX menu, select IPX Static Routes.

2.Select Add a static route.

3.Enter the hexadecimal destination IPX network number.

4.Enter the device name or the hexadecimal IPX node address of the next hop device. Note that the remote device name must be present in the on-node device database if the system is configured for device level authentication.

5.Enter the number of hops for this route.

6.Enter the number of ticks for this route.

7.Select a RIP propagation scheme from the displayed list. Note that the third option (propagate only when the Next Hop is connected) is displayed only when the static route Next Hop is accessed over the WAN.

8.After all static route information has been entered, a similar screen will be displayed:

There are currently no IPX Static Routes configured.

Enter (1) to Add a STATIC ROUTE or press <RET> for previous menu? 1
