IPX Routes
519
Per-Interface Options You can set the NetBIOS and OddLengthPadding options on each
interface. For details about how to use these options, see the
Administering IPX Routing chapter in the
Command Reference Guide .
NetBIOS Option
This option determines whether the system handles IPX Type 20 packet
forwarding.
OddLengthPadding Option
This option only supports 10 MB switching modules. To provide a
compatibility mode for older network interface cards (NICs), it enables an
interface to pad IPX packets that have an odd number of bytes. (Older
NICs discard IPX packets that have an odd number of bytes.)
IPX Routes
Your system maintains a table of routes to other IPX networks. You can:
■
Use RIP mode to exchange routing information dynamically.
■
Use the Administration Console to make static entries in the table.
Important
Considerations
Consider the following guidelines when you set up an IPX route:
■
The first line in the output (the status line) indicates whether:
■
IPX forwarding is enabled
■
IPX RIP mode is active
■
IPX RIP mode triggered updates are enabled
■
IPX SAP mode is active
■
IPX SAP triggered updates are enabled
■
The secondary route/server option is enabled on the system
■
The route table display shows the range for routing table
Primary
entries in the N-M format, where N is the current number of entries
and M is the maximum number of Primary entries.
■
A Secondary route entry can replace a Primary route entry when the
Primary route is removed from the routing table for any reason (for
example, if the route reaches its age limit).
■
To view entries for any Secondary routes:
■
Establish alternate paths to the same IPX network.
■
Enable the IPX Secondary route/server option.
