## (9) IPX Implementation

### Acacia Router - IPX Configuration

Router(config)# ipx routing Router(config)# ipx maximum-paths 1 Router(config)# int pri0 Router(config-if)# ip network 0A:2A:6E:00 Router(config-if)# int e0 Router(config-if)# ip network 0A:2A:6F:00 Router(config-if)# int e1 Router(config-if)# ip network 0A:2A:70:00 Router(config-if)# int e2 Router(config-if)# ip network 0A:2A:71:00

{note: ipx maximum-hops was set to 1 because there is nowhere to load share in our LAN}

### Subnet numbering scheme

Each subnet's dotted-binary address is converted to hex, octet by octet. The resulting 4 part hex number is the network address. IPX host addresses are the individual MAC addresses of the NIC's.

### Table of IPX Host Numbers

IP Network address |  | IPX Network Address |
10.42.110.0 |  | 0A:2A:6E:00 |
10.42.111.0 |  | 0A:2A:6F:00 |
10.42.112.0 |  | 0A:2A:70:00 |
10.42.113.0 |  | 0A:2A:71:00 |

### List of Routers which will/will not need IPX

Will Use IPX:

- Main school router (as shown above)
- In fact, all school routers will probably use IPX

Will not use IPX:

- All routers in the WAN will use ip only
