4.2.3 IPX: RIP TABLE
This table displays the current IPX routes in the IPX RIP table. Information in
this table comes from four sources:
1. The IPX network number determines which network is physically attached
to the Ethernet port.
2. IPX SAP Packets received from the Ethernet Port.
3. IPX SAP Packets received from the WAN port.
4. Static (permanent) entries entered by the user.
The user can define up to 16 static routes in this table. The simplest means
to allow the router to 'learn' available services is to use
IPX RIP Receive
. For
configuration see the Ethernet Service Setup section. The user can then
highlight all routes to be made static using the cursor and press
<return>
.
The user will be prompted to either delete the entry or make it part of the IPX
RIP table. Turning off IPX RIP Receive as before will cause other learned
services to age out after about four minutes.
