Configuring IPX Routing
To configure a VLAN with an IPX interface, enter the following command in Configure
mode:
Specifying IPX Encapsulation Method
The Enterasys Xpedition supports four encapsulation types for IPX. You can configure
encapsulation type on a per-interface basis.
• Ethernet II: The standard ARPA Ethernet Version 2.0 encapsulation, which uses a 16-
bit protocol type code (the default encapsulation method)
• 802.3 SNAP: SNAP IEEE 802.3 encapsulation, in which the type code becomes the
frame length for the IEEE 802.2 LLC encapsulation (destination and source Service
Access Points, and a control byte)
• 802.3: 802.3 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
• 802.2: 802.2 encapsulation method used within Novell IPX environments
To configure IPX encapsulation, enter the following commands in Configure mode:
Configuring IPX Routing
By default, IPX routing is enabled on the XP.
Enabling IPX RIP
IPX RIP is enabled by default on the XP. You must first create an IPX interface or assign an
IPX interface to a VLAN before RIP will start learning routes.
Create an IPX interface for a
VLAN.
interface create ipx <InterfaceName>
address-mask
<ipxAddr-mask> vlan <name>
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
