Parameter
node: node value of the router. It is a 48-bit value represented by a triplet of
four-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by "-". It is neither a broadcasting
address nor a multicast address. If the parameter is not configured, the router
will assign MAC address of the first Ethernet interface as its node value.
If there is no Ethernet interface in the router, the system will assign a random node
value based on the system clock.
Description
Using the ipx enable command, you can activate IPX. Using the undo ipx enable
command, you can deactivate IPX and remove all IPX configurations

Activating IPX again after executing the undo ipx enable command, you can not
restore any IPX configuration.
