Chapter 18: IPX Routing Configuration Guide
Specifying IPX Encapsulation Method
The SmartSwitch Router supports four encapsulation types for IPX. You can configure
encapsulation type on a per-interface basis.
• Ethernet II: The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a 16-
bit protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)
• 802.3 SNAP: SNAP IEEE 802.3 encapsulation, in which the type code becomes the
frame length for the IEEE 802.2 LLC encapsulation (destination and source Service
Access Points, and a control byte)
• 802.3: 802.3 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
• 802.2: 802.2 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
To configure IPX encapsulation, enter the following commands in Configure mode:
Configuring IPX Routing
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the SSR.
Enabling IPX RIP
IPX RIP is enabled by default on the SSR. You must first create an IPX interface or assign
an IPX interface to a VLAN before RIP will start learning routes.
Enabling SAP
IPX SAP is enabled by default on the SSR. You must first create an IPX interface or assign
an IPX interface to a VLAN before SAP will start learning services.
