You can delete a disabled network using the command:


delete ipx network <network name>
In order to enable IPX to be routed to a remote site, you must configure the
following items in the VC profile associated with the remote site connection.
You must enable IPX routing in the profile


You must enter the WAN IPX network information


To enable or disable IPX routing in a VC profile use the command:


set vc <vc name>
ipx [DISABLE | ENABLE]
The WAN IPX network information consists of the IPX network address for the
wide area connection. The IPX network address associated with the WAN
connection can be specified by you, learned from the remote site (if you are using
PPP as the Network Service for the connection), or the interface can be
Unnumbered.
To specify the WAN IPX address using up to 8 hexadecimal characters, use the


command:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address <ipx network address>
To specify that the WAN IPX network address should be learned via PPP you


can enter FFFFFFFF for the <ipx network address> parameter:
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address FFFFFFFF
To specify that the interface is Unnumbered you must enter 00000000 for the


<ipx network address> parameter.
set vc <vc name>
ipx_address 00000000
A Static route is a configured route that will remain in the routing table until
deleted. Static routes differ from Dynamic routes in that Dynamic routes are
learned real-time via RIP or when new connections are established.
A Framed route is much like a Static route in that you manually configure the
route. The difference is that a Static route is defined for the LAN while a Framed
route is associated with a remote site connection. Also, while a Static route is
active when the LAN is connected, a Framed route is active only when the
connection to the associated remote site is active.
If you wish to set up a route to a network on the other side of a remote site, use a
Framed route. If you wish to set up a route to a network through the LAN, use a
Static route. Only use Static and Framed routes for networks not learned using
RIP.
