IPX Configuration 139
Configuring an IPX route limit
In IPX, you can configure in the routing table the maximum number of the
dynamic routes and equivalent routes to the same destination. These two limit
settings are independent.
When the number of the dynamic routes to the same destination address exceeds
the limit, new dynamic routes are dropped directly without being added into the
routing table. When the new setting is smaller than the old value, the switch,
however, does not delete the excessive route entries. These route entries age out
automatically.
If the new limit is smaller than the current active route number, the system
deactivates the excessive active routes. If the new limit is greater than the number
of current active routes, the system activates the equivalent routes that are
available for them until the limit is reached.
Configuring IPX RIP After IPX is enabled on VLAN interfaces, the system automatically enables RIP. You
can configure IPX RIP parameters as needed.
