(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.
