Enabling the VRouter feature on IPX
To enable the VRouter feature on IPX, you must first enable IPX routing on the MAX unit by
setting the Ethernet > Mod Config > IPX Routing parameter to Yes. You do not have to set a
separate IPX VRouter parameter, because this feature is just an extension of the existing IP
VRouter feature. You can configure the Ethernet > Virtual Routers profile on the MAX unit to
set up a VRouter.
Note: You can configure up to three Virtual Router profiles on a MAX unit.
RADIUS profiles
The RADIUS attribute Ascend-VRouter-Name specifies the VRouter to which a
Connection profile belongs.
The IPX static route on the RADIUS server specifies the Connection profile to be used to reach
the specified server. Thus, the static route belongs to the VRouter specified in the Connection
profile.
