IPX Router Port Configuration Options

When you create an IPX router port by using the vlan router ipx command, RIP routing is enabled using
the default parameters listed below. However, you can use the full command to change the default param-
eters. Sample configurations are shown at the end of this section.
Routing Type
By default, both RIP and SAP packets are processed (active). However, additional configurations can be
used:
•
active. RIP and SAP updates are processed (default).
•
rip. RIP updates are processed (SAP is disabled).
•
inactive. RIP and SAP updates are not processed, but the router port remains active.
Encapsulation Type
Ethernet 2 encapsulation is the default encapsulation type. However, other types can be configured:
•
e2. Ethernet 2 encapsulation (default).
•
novell. Novell Raw (802.3) encapsulation.
•
llc. LLC (802.2) encapsulation.
•
snap. SNAP encapsulation.
Delay
To configure the IPX delay, enter the syntax timeticks and specify the number of ticks for IPX delay time.
A tick is approximately 1/18th of a second. The valid range is 0–65535. The default is 0.
For example, to configure IPX router port 1000590C on VLAN 1 to process only RIP packets with a delay
of 10 you would enter:
-> vlan 1 router ipx 1000590C rip timeticks 10
For more information on optional command syntax see
the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. For more information on VLANs and configuring router ports, see
Chapter 4, "Configuring VLANs."

Creating/Deleting a Default Route

A default IPX route can be configured for packets destined for networks unknown to the switch. If RIP is
disabled and a default IPX route is configured, packets can still be forwarded to a switch that knows where
to send them.
Use the ipx default-route
enter the IPX network number of the first hop used to reach the default route. For example, to configure a
default route by using IPX network 222 for the first hop you would enter:
-> ipx default-route 222
The IPX network number is required. You can also enter the VLAN number of the first hop. For example,
to configure a default route by using VLAN 1 on the 222 network you would enter:
-> ipx default-route 1 222
