Proprietary IPX Token Ring
The propipx command allows you to turn on or off the default proprietary IPX switch transla-
tion. (Refer to Appendix B, “Output Translation Options,” for information on the Proprietary
IPX feature.)
To turn on the Proprietary IPX feature (the default), enter the following at the system prompt:
propipx on
A message is displayed to confirm the activation of the Proprietary IPX feature. Please note
that the switch must be rebooted for the setting to take effect.
To turn off the Proprietary IPX feature type:

Factory Defaults
You can reset all ports in the switch to their default factory settings. Any custom translations
you configured through
modvp
,
ethdef
,
fddidef
,
trdef
, or
swch
commands will be overridden by
the default translation for the given media type (i.e., Ethernet, FDDI, etc.). Factory defaults for
each media type are described earlier in this chapter.
To reset to factory defaults, enter the
facdef
command at the system prompt. The following
screen displays:
This will reset the default translations for each media type to a factory default.
It will then set all port translation options to inherit these defaults.
It will then reset the forwarding table translation options for all addresses learnt on
those ports to those port defaults.
Do you want to do this? (no):
Enter a
Y
to reset all port settings.
