3.3.1 Assigning an IPX Address

IPX addresses for each port must be unique and non-zero. When

you assign an address, you can also designate the frame type.

Frame types are listed below with the value you enter listed in

parenthesis:

• Ethernet 2 (ethernet2)

• Raw 8023, the default for Ethernet (ethernet802.3)

• 8022, the default for Token-Ring and FDDI (llc802.2 or

ethernet802.2)

• SNAP (snap)

• Raw FDDI, valid only for FDDI (rawfddi)

• PPP, the only option for HSSI (ppp)

To assign an IPX address to a port:

Type: ipxaddress <port number> <ipx address>

For example, ipxaddr 6 0x12345678 would set the IPX

address of Port 6 to 0x12345678. LCM responds by displaying only

the changed IPX entries.

You can use a decimal form to enter an address if you don’t start

the address with

0x.

To change an IPX address:

Type: ipxaddress <port number> <new address>

LCM responds by displaying the IPX address table.

3.3.2 Displaying IPX Addresses

The ipxaddr command displays the IPX addresses, node ID, and

framing type for all ports on the ATX which you are managing.
