IPX
This section describes the commands associated with configuring IPX, IPX/RIP, and
IPX/SAP on the switch. Configuring IPX routing involves the following steps:
1 Create at least two VLANs.
2 If you are combining an IPX VLAN with another VLAN on the same port(s), you
must use a protocol filter on one of the VLANs, or use 802.1Q tagging.
3 Assign each VLAN a NetID and encapsulation type, using the following command:
config vlan <name> xnetid <netid> [enet_ii | enet_8023 | enet_8022 |
enet_snap]
Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IPX NetID and that the encapsulation type
matches the VLAN protocol.
Once you configure the IPX VLAN information, IPX forwarding automatically begins to
function. Specifically, configuring the IPX VLAN automatically enables the IPX/RIP,
IPX/SAP, and SAP GNS services.

You can use the following commands to verify the IPX routing configuration:
•
show vlan
— In addition to other information, this command displays the IPX
NetID setting and encapsulation type.
•
show ipxconfi
g — This command is analogous to the
show ipconfig
command
for the IP protocol. It displays summary global IPX configuration information
followed by per-VLAN information. Information includes enable/disable status for
IPX/RIP, IPX/SAP, IPX route sharing, IPX service sharing, and so on.
•
show ipxroute
— This command is analogous to the
show iproute
command for
the IP protocol. It displays static and learned routes, along with information about
the VLAN that uses the route, hop count, age of the route, and so on.
•
show ipxsap
— This command displays the enable status of IPX/SAP for the
VLAN, and its operational and administrative status (including the GNS reply
service). It also lists any identified IPX/SAP neighbors, SAP packet statistics, and
several other timer settings.
•
show ipxrip
— This command displays the enable status of IPX/RIP for the VLAN,
including operational and administrative status. It also lists any identified IPX/RIP
neighbors, RIP packet statistics, and several other timer settings.
•
show ipxservice
— This command displays the contents of the IPX Service Table.
