C H A P T E R 16 IPX Routing

Configuring IPX
This section describes the commands associated with configuring
IPX, IPX/RIP, and IPX/SAP on the 480T routing switch. Configure
IPX routing as follows:
1. Create at least two VLANs (see "Virtual LANs (VLANs)" on
page 95).
2. If you are combining an IPX VLAN with another VLAN on the
same port(s), you must use a protocol filter on one of the VLANs,
or use 802.1Q tagging.
3. Assign each VLAN a NetID and encapsulation type, using this
command:
configure vlan <name> xnetid <netid> [enet_ii |
enet_8023 | enet_8022 | enet_snap]
Ensure that each VLAN
has a unique IPX NetID
and that the encapsulation
type matches the VLAN
protocol.
Once you configure the IPX VLAN information, IPX forwarding
automatically begins to function. Specifically, configuring the IPX
VLAN automatically enables the IPX/RIP, IPX/SAP, and SAP
GNS services.
Verifying IPX Router Configuration
Use these commands to verify the IPX routing configuration:
• show vlan—Along with other information, this command
displays the IPX NetID setting and encapsulation type.
•
show ipxconfig—Analogous to the show ipconfig
command for the IP protocol, it displays summary global IPX
configuration information followed by per-VLAN information.
Information includes enable/disable status for IPX/RIP, IPX/SAP,
IPX route sharing, IPX service sharing, and so on.
•
show ipxroute—Analogous to the show iproute command
for the IP protocol. it displays static and learned routes, along
with information about the VLAN that uses the route, hop count,
age of the route, and so on.
•
show ipxsap—Displays the enable status of IPX/SAP for the
VLAN, and its operational and administrative status (including
the GNS reply service). It also lists any identified IPX/SAP
neighbors, SAP packet statistics, and several other timer settings.
