Important Considerations
An IPX interface defines the relationships among an IPX virtual LAN
(VLAN), the IPX router, and the IPX network. The IPX router has one
IPX interface defined for each network that is directly connected to it.
When you modify an interface, you can change the interface's IPX
address, ticks, format, and the associated IPX VLAN index.
Unless your network has special requirements (for example, a need for
redundant paths), do not change the cost value of 1 that is assigned
by default to each interface.
