This chapter describes the commands used to configure Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) routing, such as IPX static routes, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Service Point Access (SAP), and IPX service routes.
Timesaver: Instead of entering the complete spelled out command, which is shown in boldface, caps, and regular font, you can enter only the letters in all caps and bold shown in the syntax description at the beginning of each command page.
To delete one or all static IPX routes for a profile, use the reset ipx route command.
Syntax Description
| all | Deletes all static IPX routes for the profile. |
| destination netnum | The destination network number for the static route. |
| gateway netnum net:node | The host address of the next router in the path to the destination network. |
Command Mode
Profile mode
Related Command
set ipx route
To delete one or all static IPX service routes for a profile, use the reset ipx service command.
Syntax Description
| all | Deletes all static IPX service routes for the profile. |
| name service-name | Name of the service. |
| type service-type | Service type of the route. This is a hexadecimal number. Table 9-1 in the set ipx service section lists examples of service types. |
Usage Guidelines
Use this command while in profile mode.
Example
The following example deletes all service routes for a profile:
reset ipx thissamplerouter all 0
To set the frame type used by your IPX network, use the set ipx framing command.
Syntax Description
| ethernet_II | Sets the IPX framing for Ethernet II type. This is a rarely used, older version of Ethernet. |
| 802.3 | Sets the IPX framing for IEEE type 802.3 framing. This framing is used with 10BaseT and AUI connections. |
| 802.2 | Sets the IPX framing for IEEE 802.2 framing. This framing is used with coaxial Ethernet cabling. |
| snap | Sets the IPX framing to Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) framing. SNAP provides framing between a network entity in the subnetwork, and a network entity in the end system. SNAP provides data transfer, connection management, and quality of service selection. |
| none | Specifies Internetwork Packet Exchange Control Protocol (IPXCP) framing. Use the none keyword when you are connecting two IPX routers that are using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). |
Default
Profiles created with the set user lan command---802.3
Profiles created with the set user command---ethernet-ii
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example sets the frame type to IPXCP for profile 2503:
Host:2503> set ipx framing none
To specify whether NetBIOS (Type 20) packets are forwarded on to the LAN, use the set ipx netbios command.
Syntax Description
| accept | NetBIOS packets will be forwarded to the LAN. Use the accept keyword when IPX routing is enabled and when using a NetBIOS protocol, such as Windows for Workgroups. |
| block | NetBIOS packets will not be forwarded to the LAN. |
Default
block
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example sets the profile 2503 to forward NetBIOS packets on to the LAN:
Host:2503> set ipx netbios accept
To set the IPX network address for a profile connection, use the set ipx network address command.
Syntax Description
| network number | Number of the IPX network to which this profile connects. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range of 1 to FFFFFFFD.
A network number of 0 instructs the router to attempt to learn the remote network address from incoming packets. |
Default
The default IPX network address is 0.
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example sets the IPX network number for profile 2503:
Host:2503> set ipx network 3AAA
To specify when Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) packets will be sent, use the set ipx rip update command.
Syntax Description
| periodic | RIP and SAP packets are sent both periodically and whenever there is a change in the RIP or SAP tables. Use this keyword for the LAN profile so that RIP and SAP information is passed to the LAN at regular intervals. |
| demand | RIP and SAP packets are sent both when the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line first connects and when a change occurs in the RIP or SAP tables. Use this keyword for WAN connections to avoid bringing up the ISDN line unnecessarily. |
| snapshot | The two period for routing updates are quiet and active. During the active period routing updates or exchanges are in a normal process. Once the active period expires, the quiet period begins and the routing table is frozen in that state. There is no activity until the quiet period expires. |
Default
periodic
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example disables IPX RIP and SAP packets for the profile 2503:
Host:2503> set ipx rip update off
To enter a static router in a profile RIP table, use the set ipx route command.
Syntax Description
| destination netnum | Destination network number in the form of an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range of 1 to FFFFFFFD. |
|---|---|
| gateway net:node | (Optional) The host address of the next router to which packets will be forwarded. |
| hops | (Optional) Number of routers between this router and the destination network. If this keyword is not used, the default is 1. |
| cost ticks | (Optional) Number of ticks (one-eighteenth of one second) to the destination network. |
Default
No static IPX routes are configured.
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example sets the ipx route to network 150, with four hops between the source and the destination router.
Host: 2503>
set ipx route destination 150 4
To enable or disable routing for a profile interface, use the set ipx routing command.
Syntax Description
| on | Enables IPX routing for the profile interface. |
|---|---|
| off | Disables IPX routing for the profile interface. |
Default
off (disabled)
Command Mode
Profile mode
Example
The following example enables IPX routing for profile 2503:
Host:2503> set ipx routing on
To add a service route to your network, use the set ipx service command:
Syntax Description
| all | Deletes all static IPX service routes for the profile. |
| name service-name | Name of the service destination; a 48-byte object name assigned to the server. The service name combined with the service type uniquely identifies a server on a network. |
| type service-type | Service type of the route; a hexadecimal number. Table 9-1 lists examples of service types. |
| address net:
node:socket |
The address of the host on which the service resides. The address must be in the following format:
· network---Destination network number in the form of an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. · node---MAC address of the host or server. · socket---The software structure serving as the communications endpoint on the network device. |
| hops | (Optional) Number of routers across which packets will be forwarded when being routed to the service. |
