To configure routing for Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and configure IPX on a Layer 3 interface,
perform this task:
This example shows how to enable IPX routing and assign an IPX network address to interface
VLAN 100:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# ipx routing
Router(config)# ipx router rip
Router(config-ipx-router)# network all
Router(config-ipx-router)# interface vlan 100
Router(config-if)# ipx network 100 encapsulation snap
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# end
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# ipx routing
Enables IPX routing.
Step 2
Router(config)# router ipx_routing_protocol
Specifies an IP routing protocol. This step might include
other commands, such as specifying the networks to route
with the network command.
Step 3
Router(config)# interface {vlan vlan_ID} |
{type
1
slot/port} | {port-channel
port_channel_number}
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, tengigabitethernet, or ge-wan
Selects an interface to configure.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ipx network [network |
unnumbered] encapsulation encapsulation_type
Configures the IPX network number. This enables IPX
routing on the interface. When you enable IPX routing on
the interface, you can also specify an encapsulation type.
Step 5
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enables the interface.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# end
Exits configuration mode.
Step 7
Router# show interfaces [{vlan vlan_ID} |
{type
1
slot/port} | {port-channel
port_channel_number}]
Router# show ipx interfaces [{vlan vlan_ID} |
{type
1
slot/port} | {port-channel
port_channel_number}]
Router# show running-config interfaces [{vlan
vlan_ID} | {type
1
slot/port} | {port-channel
port_channel_number}]
Verifies the configuration.
