374 CHAPTER 24: CONFIGURING IPX
Perform the following task in interface view.
Table 407 Enable IPX interface
By default, IPX is disabled on all interfaces after being started.
Delete interface IPX, then IPX configuration is removed from the interface, static
service information and static routing information will be deleted.
3 Configure Relative Parameters of IPX RIP
a Configure IPX static route
RIP is used by IPX to decide the best path. Though a routing protocol can
refresh a routing table dynamically, you may want to add a static route to
routing table manually, and clearly specify how to arrive at a destination. Thus,
the priority of IPX routes is adopted in the 3Com Router series, there is, the
default priority of static routes is 10 and that of dynamic routes is 60. Smaller
value indicates higher priority of the route. When selecting routes, among all
routes to the same destination, a router selects the one of highest priority.
Note that once you have created a static route, if one section of the route is
faulty, communication will be interrupted and the message will be sent to a
destination that does not exist.
Perform the following task in system view.
Table 408 Configure IPX RIP static route
By default, there is no static route.
The default priority of IPX static route is 10 and that of IPX dynamic route is 60.
Smaller value indicates higher priority of the route. For default route, the value
of network.node should be FFFFFFFE.
After configuring a default route, enable/disable it according to actual
conditions.
Table 409 Enable/Disable a Default Route
By default, enable a default route, i.e. all packets which cannot find their
routing can be forwarded via this route.
b Configure updating interval of IPX RIP
You can set the interval for RIP to update IPX module. The router will send RIP
updated broadcast message at intervals.
