f. The following prompt displays:
IP RIP Mode {Deaf (d),
Silent (s),
Active (a),
Inactive (i)}
(s):
Define the RIP mode in which the virtual router port will operate. RIP (Router Information
Protocol) is a network-layer protocol that enables the default VLAN in this Group to learn
and advertise routes. The RIP mode can be set to one of the following:
Silent . The default setting shown in parentheses. RIP is active and receives routing infor-
mation from other VLAN s, but does not send out RIP updates. Other VLAN s will not receive
routing information concerning the default VLAN in this Group and will not include the
VLAN in their routing tables. Simply press to select Silent mode.
Deaf . RIP is active and sends routing information to other VLAN s, but does not receive RIP
updates from other VLAN s. The default VLAN in this Group will not receive routing infor-
mation from other VLAN s and will not include other VLAN s in its routing table. Enter d and
press to select Deaf mode.
Active . RIP is active and both sends and receives RIP updates. The default VLAN in this
Group will receive routing information from other VLAN s and will be included in the rout-
ing tables of other VLAN s. Enter a and press to select Active mode.
Inactive . RIP is inactive and neither sends nor receives RIP updates. The default VLAN in
this Group will neither send nor receive routing information to/from other VLAN s. Enter i
and press to select Inactive mode.
g. You can now configure IPX routing on this port. The following message displays:
Enable IPX? (y) :
Press if you want to enable IPX Routing on this virtual router port. If you do not
enable IPX , then the default VLAN in this WAN Group will not be able to route IPX data.
You can set up a virtual router port to route both IP and IPX traffic.
If you don’t want to enable IPX routing for the default VLAN in this Group, enter n and
press . You can always set up IPX routing for other VLAN s within this Group.
You are done configuring this WAN Routing Group. See the appropriate WAN interface
chapter for further information on configuring this Routing service.
h. After selecting to enable IPX , the following prompt displays:
IPX Network:
Enter the IPX network address. IPX addresses consist of eight hex digits and you can enter
a minimum of one hex digits in this field. If you enter less than eight hex digits, the
system prefixes your entry with zeros to create eight digits.
i. The following prompt displays:
Description (30 chars max):
