Configuring VLAN Router Interfaces

Modifying an IPX Router Interface

The vlan router ipx command is also used to modify one or more existing IPX router interface parameter
values. For example, the following command changes the existing router interface IPX address for VLAN
955 to 1000450C:
-> vlan 955 router ipx 1000450C
It is not necessary to first remove the IPX router interface from the VLAN. The changes specified will
overwrite existing parameter values. For example, the following command changes the advertisement
mode to RIP only, the encapsulation to LLC, and the delay time value to 1500. The IPX address is not
changed in this example, but is required as part of the command syntax to identify a change to the router
interface:
-> vlan 955 router ipx 1000450C rip llc timeticks 10
Use the show vlan command to verify IPX router changes. For more information about this command, see
the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

What is Single MAC Router Mode?

The switch operates only in single MAC router mode. In this mode, each router VLAN is assigned the
same MAC address, which is the base chassis MAC address for the switch. This eliminates the need to
allocate additional MAC addresses if more than 32 router VLANs are defined. The number of router
VLANs allowed then is based on the IP interface configuration. See

To determine the total number of VLANs configured on the switch, and the number of VLANs with IP
router interfaces configured, use the
this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
