Setting the RIP
Mode
You can control whether the system forwards or discards IPX packets
addressed to other routers. When you enable IPX forwarding, the system
acts as a normal IPX router, forwarding IPX packets from one network to
another when required. When you disable IPX forwarding, the system
discards any IPX packets not addressed directly to one of its defined IPX
interfaces.
By default, IPX forwarding is disabled.
To enable or disable IPX forwarding:
1 From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:
ipx forwarding

brackets, press [Return] at the prompt.
You can select a RIP mode that is appropriate for your network. RIP can
operate in any of three modes:
Off — The system ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not generate
any RIP packets of its own.
Passive — The system processes all incoming RIP packets, but does not
broadcast periodic or triggered RIP updates, or respond to RIP requests.
Active — The system processes all incoming RIP packets, responds to
explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic and
triggered RIP updates.
