Parameters
node node: Global node address of the router, used by all non-Ethernet interfaces. It is in 48-bit length,
represented by a triplet of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by hyphen (-). It is neither a broadcast
address nor a multicast address. If the argument is not specified, the router will assign the MAC address
of the first Ethernet interface as the global node address. If the router has no Ethernet interface, a node
address will then be randomly generated according to the system clock.
Usage guidelines
Disabling IPX will result in removal of all settings that have been configured.
