Configuring Static IPX Routes
Routing of IPX traffic is handled dynamically by such protocols as RIP and SAP, as
well as via static routes configured in the SmartSwitch 1800.
To display configured static routes, press
[H]
at the Connections and Routing Paths
Menu (or
[A], [D], [H]
from the Main Menu).
To configure a route, press
[I]
at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu. When
prompted, enter:
Type
:
0
(RIP) or
1
(SAP). (The default is
0
.)
Route/Service Number
:
0–65535
. (The default is
0
.). This is simply an identifier.
The display will be similar to the RIP example in the following figure. (A SAP record
will display different parameters.)
