OUTING
To change the configuration of a defined IPX interface:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ipx interface modify
2 At the prompt for each interface parameter, enter the new values for
parameters that you want to modify.
Press Return to accept the existing values in brackets for parameters that
you do not want to modify.
Remove an interface when you no longer perform routing on the ports
that are associated with the interface.
To remove an IPX interface definition:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ipx interface remove
2 Enter the index numbers of the interfaces to remove.
The interface is removed.
Your system maintains a table of routes to other IPX networks. You can
either use the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to exchange routing
information automatically or make static entries in this table using the
Administration Console. Each routing table entry contains the following
information:
Address — The 4-byte IPX network address of a segment in the
router's routing table.
Hops — The number of routers that must be crossed to reach the
network segment. The maximum number of routers a packet can
cross is 15. Exception: An IPX NetBIOS packet can cross no more than
7 routers.
Tics — An estimate of how long the packet will take to reach this
segment. A tic is approximately 55 milliseconds.
Node — The 6-byte address of the router that can forward packets to
the segment. A node address of all zeroes (00-00-00-00-00-00)
means that the route is connected directly to the router.
Age — The number of seconds that have elapsed since the last time
the router sent a packet.
