Chapter 9: IPX Routing Configuration Guide
• 802.2: 802.2 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
Configure IPX Routing
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the SSR.
Enable 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.
Enable 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.
Configure Static Routes
In a Novell NetWare network, the SSR uses RIP to determine the best paths for routing
IPX. However, you can add static RIP routes to RIP routing table to explicitly specify a
route.
To add a static RIP route, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Configure Ethernet II encapsulation. interface create ipx <Interface Name>
output-mac-encapsulation ethernet_II
Configure 802.3 SNAP encapsulation. interface create ipx <Interface Name>
output-mac-encapsulation ethernet_snap
Configure 802.3 IPX encapsulation. interface create ipx <Interface Name>
output-mac-encapsulation
ethernet_802.3
Configure 802.2 IPX encapsulation. interface create ipx <Interface Name>
output-mac-encapsulation
ethernet_802.2_ipx
Add a static RIP route. ipx add route <networkaddr>
<nextrouter or network node> <metric> <ticks>
