3.6.2.5 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 field.
2. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE option at the bottom of the
screen and press ENTER. The message "SAVED OK" displays.
3.6.2.6 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 field.
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 press ENTER. The message "SAVED OK"
displays.
