IPX Routing Tables

Framing

Displays the link-level framing to be used for this interface:

•ethernet 802.3 — the default for ethernet links. This framing will use an 802.3 length followed by the IPX header and data.

•ethernet 2 —the same framing as 802.3, except the third field (the length field in 802.3) is used to store a value representing the type of transport packet that is encapsulated within the Ethernet packet.

•ieee802.2 — the default for non-ethernet links. 802.2 frames are the same as 802.3 frames, except they have Logical Link Control (LLC) information encoded within them immediately following the 802.3 length field.

•snap — framing will use standard SNAP encapsulation with 802.3 or Ethenet2 frames.

See Chapter 2 for more information on IPX Framing.

In-Rip-Pkts

Displays the number of IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets received on this interface.

Out-Rip-Pkts

Displays the number of IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets transmitted by this interface.

In-Sap-Pkts

Displays the number of IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets received on this interface.

Out-Sap-Pkts

Displays the number of IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets transmitted by this interface.

IPX Route

The ATX uses the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) to build an accurate current routing table. Routers, including the ATX, send out broadcasts every 60 seconds advertising the networks they know about, the routes to those networks, and the number of hops to get there. In this way the ATX can stay up-to-date on the state of its neighboring networks. This section contains an entry for each route presently known to the ATX.

Destination

Displays the destination address of this route.
