R2511-HP MSR Router Series IPX Configuration Guide(V5)

3
• A VLAN interface uses its own MAC address as the node address. You need not specify a node
address when enabling IPX.
• An interface can only have one network number. If the IPX network number of an interface is deleted,
its IPX configuration and static routing information are also deleted.
To configure basic IPX:

1. Enter system view.

2. Enable IPX protocol.

4. Configure an IPX
network number for the
interface.
ipx network network-number
By default, no network number is
specified for the interface—IPX is still
disabled on the interface even IPX is
enabled in system view.
Configuring IPX routing
With the IPX protocol enabled on an interface, the system will automatically enable RIP to maintain and
advertise dynamic routing information. Configure the following routing features based on the actual
network requirements:
• Configuring IPX static routes
• Configuring IPX route number limit
• Configuring IPX RIP static route redistribution
• Configuring IPX RIP related parameters

The IPX static route with a network
number of 0xFFFFFFFE is the default
route.
The interface specified by

only be a PPP interface.
Configuring IPX route number limitation
In IPX, the maximum number of static and dynamic routes to the same destination address permitted in
the routing table can be configured. The number of equivalent routes for load balancing can also be
