Configuring IPX

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot modify the SAP advertisement interval using the Web management interface.

Modify the Age Timer for Learned IPX Routes

The age timer specifies how many seconds a learned IPX route can remain in the routing switch’s IPX route table before aging out.

The software calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer. For example, the default age time for IPX routes is 180 seconds, which is 60 (the default advertisement interval) multiplied by 3 (the default age timer).

You can configure the age timer for RIP to a value from 1 – 65535. The default is 3. You cannot disable the age timer.

To change the age timer for learned IPX routes, use the following CLI method.

USING THE CLI

To change the age timer for IPX routes from 3 to 4 on interface 1/1, enter the following commands.

HP9300(config) int e 1/1

HP9300(config-if-1/1) ipx rip-multiplier 4

HP9300(config-if-1/1) write memory

Syntax: ipx rip-multiplier <num>

The <num> parameter specifies the age time and can be from 1 – 65535. The default is 3.

Modify the Age Timer for Learned SAP Entries

The age timer specifies how many seconds a learned IPX server can remain in the routing switch's IPX service table before aging out.

The software calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer. For example, the default age time for IPX service entries is 180 seconds, which is 60 (the default advertisement interval) multiplied by 3 (the default age timer).

You can configure the age timer for SAP to a value from 1 – 65535. The default is 3. You cannot disable the age timer.

HP9300(config-if-5/1) ipx sap-multiplier 2

HP9300(config-if-5/1) write memory

Syntax: ipx sap-multiplier <num>

The <num> parameter specifies the age time and can be from 1 – 65535. The default is 3.
