Configuring IPX
This section describes the commands associated with configuring
IPX, IPX/RIP, and IPX/SAP on the switch.
To configure IPX routing:
1. Create at least two VLANs.
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 the
following command:
config vlan xnetid [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
You can use the following commands to verify the IPX routing
configuration:
❑
show vlan — In addition to other information, this
command displays the IPX NetID setting and encapsulation
type.
❑
show ipxconfig — This command is 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 — This command is 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.
