Configuring an IPX Default Route
A default IPX route may be configured for packets destined for networks unknown to the
switch. If RIP messages are disabled, packets can still be forwarded to a router that knows
where to send them. Use the ipxdrt command to add a default route, view the status of a
default route, or disable the default route.
Adding an IPX Default Route
To configure a default route, use the ipxdrt command with the relevant network ID. For
example:
ipxdrt 222
If the network ID indicates a direct network on the switch, the MAC address must also be
specified, and the following prompt will display:
IPX node address of next hop (format - xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) :
Enter the relevant address.
Viewing the Status of an IPX Default Route
To view the status of the default route, enter the ipxdrt command. A message similar to the
following displays:
IPX default route: 00000222 00:20:da:99:88:77
Disabling an IPX Default Route
To disable the default route, enter the following:
ipxdrt off
If you enter the ipxdrt command again, the following message displays:
IPX default route is disabled
