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.

IPX is enabled by default. If necessary, use the

routing command to disable IPX. Use the

configuration parameters.

You must configure an IPX router port on a VLAN for devices on that VLAN to communicate with

devices on other VLANs. You can only create one IPX router port per VLAN. VLAN router ports are not

active until at least one active physical port is assigned to the VLAN.

If the switch is currently in the single mac router mode, up to 256 router ports are supported (including IP

and IPX). If the switch is in the multiple mac router mode, up to 64 router ports are supported (including

IP and IPX). You can configure an IP and IPX router port on the same VLAN. Both types of router ports

will share the same MAC address for that VLAN.

port on VLAN 1 with an IPX address of 1000590C, you would enter:

-> vlan 1 router ipx 1000590C

Note. If fewer than eight hex digits are entered for an IPX network number, the entry is automatically

prefixed with zeros to equal eight digits.

Use the no vlan router ipx command to remove an IPX router port from the VLAN. For example, to

remove an IPX router port on VLAN 1 with an IPX address of 1000590C, you would enter:

-> no vlan 1 router ipx 1000590C

Use the show ipx interface command to display current IPX interface information.

Note. Router port IPX addresses must be unique. You cannot have two router ports with the same IPX
