Managing IPX
Displaying IPX Characteristics
Using the SHOW command
Use the SHOW IPX CHARACTERISTICS command to display IPX characteristics,
including IPX network and node numbers. The command is nonprivileged.
IPX Characteristics Display
The following example shows the command to display IPX characteristics on an
access server:
Local> SHOW IPX CHARACTERISTICS
IPX Characteristics:
IPX: Enabled
LAN Node Address: 08002B24F2DD Internal Network 2B24F2DD
LAN Frame: ETHERNET LAN Network: Learn
LAN Frame: RAW802 LAN Network: Disabled
LAN Frame: SAP802 LAN Network: Disabled
LAN Frame: SNAP802 LAN Network: Disabled
IPX Characteristics Display Fields
The following table describes the fields in the IPX characteristics display:
Field Description
IPX Enabled or Disabled. The default is Disabled.
LAN Node Address Maximum of 12 hexadecimal numbers (no leading zeroes)
representing the Ethernet interface’s hardware address.
Internal Network None or up to 8 hexadecimal numbers (no leading zeroes,
1 to FFFFFFFE). This entry configures the IPX internal
network number for the access server. It is used by the
serial ports for configuring a common network number for
all PC client dial-ins when PPP/IPXCP is negotiated. This
occurs when the PC client requests the access server to
configure the network through PPP. A higher network
number offered by the PC client takes precedence over the
internal network number. This number must also be
unique. It is recommended that the internal network
number be used to limit the number of unique networks in
the IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) database of
fileserver and routers.
