Configuring IPX route number limitation
In IPX, the maximum number of static and dynamic routes to the same destination address permitted in
the routing table can be configured. The number of equivalent routes for load balancing can also be
configured. The two configurations have no direct relation, so changing one of the configurations will not
affect the other.
When the number of dynamic and static routes to the same destination reaches the upper limit, newly
found dynamic routes will be discarded instead of being added to the routing table. If the newly
configured maximum value is smaller than the previous one, the excessive routes will not be deleted until
they get aged out or until they are deleted manually.
If the number of equivalent load balanced routes is less than the number of active routes, the system will
turn the excessive active routes into inactive routes; if the number of newly configured equivalent routes
is bigger than the number of active routes, and equivalent inactive routes exist, the system will change
these inactive routes to active ones to reach the number of configured equivalent load balanced routes.
To configure IPX route number limitation:
Step Command Remark
7. Enter system view. system-view N/A
8. Configure the maximum number of
routes to the same destination.
ipx route max-reserve-path paths
Optional.
The default is 4.
9. Configure the maximum number of
equal cost routes for load
balancing.
ipx route load-balance-path paths
Optional.
The default is 1.
Redistribute active static routes into RIP
Step Command Remark
10. Enter system view. system-view N/A
11. Redistribute active static routes into
RIP.
ipx rip import-route static Disabled by default.
Configuring IPX RIP parameters
The IPX RIP update interval must be identical on all routers in the network to keep consistency of routing
tables.
If a route entry is not updated within the aging interval, it is removed from the routing table and the
associated dynamic service information entry is also removed.
