interfaces are available, the router generates the global node address randomly according to the
system clock. An Ethernet interface uses its own MAC address as the node address rather than the
global one.
• A VLAN interface uses its own MAC address as the node address. You need not specify a node
address when enabling IPX.
• An interface can only have one network number. If the IPX network number of an interface is deleted,
its IPX configuration and static routing information are also deleted.
To configure basic IPX:
Step Command Remark
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable IPX protocol. ipx enable [ node node ] Disabled by default.
3. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
4. Configure an IPX
network number for the
interface.
ipx network network-number
By default, no network number is
specified for the interface—IPX is still
disabled on the interface even IPX is
enabled in system view.
Configuring IPX routing
With the IPX protocol enabled on an interface, the system will automatically enable RIP to maintain and
advertise dynamic routing information. Configure the following routing features based on the actual
network requirements:
• Configuring IPX static routes
• Configuring IPX route number limit
• Configuring IPX RIP static route redistribution
• Configuring IPX RIP related parameters
Configuration prerequisite
Configure basic IPX.
Configuring an IPX static route
Step Command Remark
5. Enter system view. system-view N/A
6. Configure an IPX static
route.
ipx route-static dest-network
{ network.node | interface-type
interface-number } [ preference
value ] [ tick ticks hop hops ]
The IPX static route with a network
number of 0xFFFFFFFE is the default
route.
The interface specified by
interface-type interface-number can
only be a PPP interface.
