IPX Routing Tables
Framing
Displays the link-level framing to be used for this interface:
• ethernet 802.3 — the default for ethernet links. This framing will use an 802.3
length followed by the IPX header and data.
• ethernet 2 —the same framing as 802.3, except the third field (the length field
in 802.3) is used to store a value representing the type of transport packet that
is encapsulated within the Ethernet packet.
• ieee802.2 — the default for non-ethernet links. 802.2 frames are the same as
802.3 frames, except they have Logical Link Control (LLC) information
encoded within them immediately following the 802.3 length field.
• snap — framing will use standard SNAP encapsulation with 802.3 or Ethenet2
frames.
See Chapter 2 for more information on IPX Framing.
In-Rip-Pkts
Displays the number of IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets received
on this interface.
Out-Rip-Pkts
Displays the number of IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets
transmitted by this interface.
In-Sap-Pkts
Displays the number of IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets received
on this interface.
Out-Sap-Pkts
Displays the number of IPX Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets
transmitted by this interface.
IPX Route
The ATX uses the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) to build an accurate current
routing table. Routers, including the ATX, send out broadcasts every 60 seconds
advertising the networks they know about, the routes to those networks, and the
number of hops to get there. In this way the ATX can stay up-to-date on the state
of its neighboring networks. This section contains an entry for each route
presently known to the ATX.
Destination
Displays the destination address of this route.
