ipxroute
Displays the current IPX routes (both statically entered and "learned").
ipxroute [add/change/delete]
Allows you to add/change/delete an IPX route.
IPX S TATIC R OUTES C ONFIGURATION E LEMENTS
D ESTINATION N ETWORK
The IPX network number reachable through this static route entry. This parameter is a hexadecimal
value from 1 to 4 bytes in length.
N EXT H OP
The device name or IPX Network address of the next hop device that provides access to the
destination IPX network. If a name is specified, it can be either a on-node device database name or
a name configured in an off node authentication server data base. The name must be a valid Device
table entry if the system is configured for on-node device table data base authentication. The name
is not validated if the system is configured for off-node server authentication. You may specify the
IPX Network address of the next hop device for routes accessed via a LAN or a WAN Remote LAN
network interface. The IPX network address is specified as a 4 byte hexadecimal IPX network
number and a 6 byte hexadecimal node address. The two values are separated by a “:”, colon
character.
N UMBER OF H OPS
Indicates the number of routers that are traversed in order to reach the destination IPX network.
This number is used to calculate the best route to the destination IPX network when multiple routes
exists. This parameter is a decimal value from 1 to 15.
N UMBER OF T ICKS
Indicates the time, in ticks, that a packet will take to reach the destination IPX network. A tick is
approximately 1/18th of a second. This number is used to calculate the best route to the destination
IPX network when multiple routes exists. This parameter is a decimal value from 1 to 15.
RIP P ROPAGATION
Indicates how the system will advertise the IPX route defined by this static route entry. If you
choose “Do not Propagate”, the system will not advertise this route table entry at any time. If you
choose “Always Propagate”, the system will advertise this route table entry as part of the normal
routing table advertisement protocol processing. If you choose “Propagate only when the Next
Hop is connected”, the system will only advertise this route table entry if the destination network
is reachable over the WAN and the next hop device is actively connected to the system.
IPX S TATIC R OUTES B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
You may configure static routing entries to access WAN networks that are not directly connected
to the system, or to access a LAN network through a router that does not support RIP. IPX static
routes specify the IPX network number of the next hop device that provides access to the
destination IPX network. The IPX static route is used with the IPX NetWare Static Services
configuration to provide a route to servers.
