Enabling IPX Routing Services on a Port
The ability to switch IPX Routing Services on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great
flexibility. On the same device, some ports can be routing IPX traffic while other ports are bridging
it. As you are in transition from a bridged network to a routed network, this flexibility allows you
to implement IPX routing and test your routing configuration on a port-by-port basis. If necessary,
you can temporarily disable IPX routing on any port without losing your configuration, or you can
temporarily switch from IPX routing back to bridging.
To enable IPX Routing Services on a router port, complete the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IPX Routing option under Port Level Setup.
2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then
press ENTER. The message "SAVED OK" displays.
Enabling IPX Forwarding on a Port
By default, IPX Forwarding is disabled on each router port. Your device does not begin forwarding
IPX data packets on any router port until you enable IPX Forwarding on that port.
To enable IPX Forwarding on a router port, complete the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IPX Forwarding option.
2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then
press ENTER. The message "SAVED OK" displays.
