Important Note

If you enable routing for a Group, you are actually enabling routing for that Group’s default

VLAN

#1. For this reason, do not enable routing for any Group in which an

IPX

server is a

member of an

IPX

network address

VLAN

.

Internal IPX Router

When the internal IPX router sends out broadcasts on VLAN
1, they are flooded out all ports in the Group because, by
default, all ports in the Group are members of VLAN 1. IPX
Server A responds with a router configuration error because
it is receiving broadcasts on VLAN 1 when it should only
receive them on VLAN 2. IPX Server B also responds with a
router configuration error because it is receiving broadcasts
on VLAN 1 when it should only receive them on VLAN 3.
