Installation and Getting Started Guide

Syntax: show ipx interface [ethernet <portnum> ve <num>]

The ethernet <portnum> parameter lets you specify a routing switch port.

The ve <num> parameter lets you specify a virtual interface (VE).

This display shows the following information.

Table 14.2: CLI Display of IPX Interface Information

This Field...

 

Displays...

 

 

Interface

The port or virtual interface on which the IPX interface is configured.

 

 

MAC address

The MAC address of the interface.

 

 

Port state

The state of the interface. The state can be one of the following:

 

DOWN

 

UP

 

 

IPX network

The IPX network number.

 

 

Frame type

The frame type of the network. The frame type can be one of the

 

following:

 

ethernet_802.2

 

ethernet_802.3

 

ethernet_ii

 

ethernet_snap

 

 

Allow NetBIOS

Indicates whether the interface allows NetBIOS traffic. This field can

 

have the following values:

 

NO

 

YES

 

 

rip-interval

The RIP advertisement interval. The RIP advertisement interval

 

specifies how often the routing switch sends IPX RIP updates to

 

neighboring IPX routers.

 

To modify this parameter, see “Modify the RIP Advertisement Interval”

 

on page 14-14.

 

 

rip-max-packet-size

The maximum packet size for IPX RIP updates. The default IPX RIP

 

packet size is 432 bytes, which allows 50 routes plus 32 bytes of

 

header in an IPX RIP update packet.

 

To modify this parameter, see “Modify the RIP Advertisement Packet

 

Size”

on page 14-13.

 

 

rip-multiplier

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.

 

To modify this parameter, see “Modify the Age Timer for Learned IPX

 

Routes” on page 14-15.
