Routing
Dynamic routes are aged out of the table when an update for the
network is not received for a period of time, as determined by the
routing protocol.
Static Routes
Static routes are manually entered into the routing table. Static
routes are used to reach networks not advertised by routers. You can
configure up to 64 static IPX routes on the switch. Static routes are
never aged out of the routing table. Static routes are advertised to
the network using IPX/RIP.
IPX/RIP Routing
The switch supports the use of IPX/RIP for unicast routing. IPX/
RIP is different from IP/RIP. However, many of the concepts are the
same. The 480T switch supports the following IPX/RIP features:
• Split horizon
• Poison reverse
• Triggered Updates
Route information is entered into the IPX route table in one of the
following two ways:
• Dynamically, by way of RIP
• Statically, using the command:
config ipxroute add [<dest_netid> | default]
next_hop_netid next_hop_node_addr <hops> <ticks>
IPX/RIP is automatically enabled when a NetID is assigned to the
VLAN. To remove the advertisement of an IPX VLAN, use the
command:
config ipxrip delete {vlan <name> | all}
