Quick Steps for Configuring IPX Routing

When IPX is enabled, devices connected to ports on the same VLAN are able to communicate. However,
to route packets to a device on a different VLAN, you must create an IPX router port on each VLAN. The
following steps show you how to enable IPX routing between VLANs "from scratch". If active VLANs
have already been created on the switch, go to step 5.
1
Create VLAN 1 with a description (e.g., VLAN 1) by using the
-> vlan 1 name "VLAN 1"
2
Create VLAN 2 with a description (e.g., VLAN 2) by using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 2 name "VLAN 2"
3
Assign an active port to VLAN 1 by using the
ing command assigns port 1 on slot 1 to VLAN 1:
-> vlan 1 port default 1/1
4
Assign an active port to VLAN 2 by using the vlan port default command. For example, the follow-
ing command assigns port 2 on slot 1 to VLAN 2:
-> vlan 2 port default 1/2
5
Create an IPX router port on VLAN 1 by using the
-> vlan 1 router ipx 00000111
6
Create an IPX router port on VLAN 2 by using the vlan router ipx command. For example:
-> vlan 2 router ipx 00000222
