IPX Routing Configuration Configuring IPX Interfaces and Parameters
Note Interfaces bound to a single port go down when the port goes down but interfaces
bound to a VLAN remain up as long as at least one port in that VLAN remains
active.
The procedure for creating an IPX interface depends on whether you are binding that interface to a single port or a
VLAN. Separate discussions on the different procedures follow.
Note You cannot assign IPX interfaces for LAN and WAN to the same VLAN. In order
for these two types of IPX interfaces to coexist on the RS, each type must be
assigned to different VLANs.
23.3.4 IPX Addresses
The IPX address is a 12-byte number divided into three parts. The first part is the 4-byte (8-character) IPX external
network number. The second part is the 6-byte (12-character) node number. The third part is the 2-byte (4-character)
socket number.
