IPX Commands—"i" Series Platforms

Basic IPX Command Overview
The "i" series switches provide support for the IPX, IPX/RIP, and IPX/SAP protocols. The switch
dynamically builds and maintains an IPX routing table and an IPX service table.
The routing software and hardware routes IPX traffic between IPX router interfaces. A router interface is
simply a VLAN that has an IPX network identifier (NetID) and IPX encapsulation type assigned to it.
As you create VLANs with different IPX NetIDs the switch automatically routes between them. Both the
VLAN switching and the IPX routing function occur within the switch.
NOTE
A VLAN can be configured with either an IPX NetID or an IP address. A VLAN cannot be configured for
both IPX and IP routing simultaneously.
This chapter describes the IPX commands.
