shows an example of the IPX routing table.
When an IPX packet arrives in the Wireless Router, IPX tries to determine if the
destination IPX Network Number contained in the packet is within the network
defined by the "Network Number" in an entry in the routing table. If a match is found,
the packet is forwarded to the interface or profile specified in the "Gateway IfName"
field.
The "Hops" field is the number of routers the packet must travel through in order to
reach its final destination. If this value is zero, the destination is in a network directly
attached to this router, such as a LAN.
If no match is found with a destination network, then a special entry called the
"Default IPX Route" is used. This normally is set to a path where another router can
be reached that has additional information about other networks not known to the
local router. If no match is found and a default IPX route is not defined, the IPX
packet is discarded and will go nowhere.
An entry for a specific host or network may be added manually. This "static route" is
indicated by an "S" in the Flags field.
Note:
To delete a static route, select it in the routing table and click the Delete
button. You cannot delete a non-static route.
Adding the Default IPX Route or a Static IPX Route
The procedure to add or change the IPX default route or to add an IPX static route is
as follows:
Step 1
