III. Configure the size of IPX RIP update packets
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
Table 7-8 Configure the size of IPX RIP update packets
Configure the size of IPX RIP update
packets
Restore the default packet size
By default, the maximum IPX RIP update packet size is 432 bytes. Considering the 32
bytes for the IPX and RIP headers, each update packet can carry up to 50 eight-byte
routing entries.
IV. Configure the IPX packet forwarding delay on a VLAN interface
IPX RIP uses hop count and ticks to measure the distance to a destination network and
route packets. The hop count of a packet adds by one upon each forwarding.
Ticks (1 tick = 1/18 seconds) indicate the delay that a VLAN interface experiences to
forward an IPX packet: a longer delay means slower forwarding whereas a shorter
delay means faster forwarding.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.

Restore the default forwarding delay
By default, the forwarding delay on the VLAN interface is one tick.
V. Configure IPX RIP to import static routes
By importing routes, different routing protocols can share their routing information.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
