The IPX Routing Table window is displayed when you click on the IPX Routing Table button in the Router Configuration window. The IPX Routing Table window shown in Figure 10-6, displays the IPX Routing Table entries known to the netsys3 router. This table is constructed from the information contained in the baseline router configuration files. Routing Table entries may not be edited from this window. Double-clicking on a Routing Table entry highlights the next hop router in the Topology window.
This window's components are described in the following sections. See "General Window Components" for a description of the Context, Apply, Revert, Close, and Help buttons.
The IPX Routing Table pane displays a particular router's Routing Table entries. An IPX Routing Table entry contains the routing algorithm, destination network address, cost factor, interface used to send packets to the next router along the path to the destination network, and the next router in the path to the destination network values.
Clicking on an IPX Routing Table pane column header automatically sorts the information displayed in that column within the Routing Table pane accordingly. For example, when you click on the Forward to column header, the information displayed in the IPX Routing Table pane is alphabetically sorted by the router's interface names.
The IPX network address of the destination network is displayed in this column.
The first number displayed within the bracket is the administrative distance (trustworthiness) of the routing information source. Administrative distance values range from 0 through 255. The general rule is the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance value of 255 signifies that the routing information source should not be trusted. The second number is the hop count.
This router's interface used to send information to the next router along the path to the destination network, is displayed in this column.
The next router in the path to the destination network is displayed in this column. Double-clicking on an IPX Routing Table entry highlights the next hop router in the Topology window.
You are able to use the Filter field to specify a specific algorithm, destination address, cost factor, or device to search for within the IPX Routing Table. Pressing Return or clicking on the Search button initiates the search using the filter you have specified. The IPX Routing Table entries matching the search pattern are then displayed in the Routing Table pane. For example, if you wish to find all routes with a cost factor of 0/0, you would specify *\[0\/0\]* in the Filter field and then press Return or click on the Search button. Only the IPX Routing Table entries containing routes with a cost factor of 0/0 are then displayed in the Routing Table pane.
The question mark is used to denote any one character. For example, if you specify *netsys?* in the Filter field, all IPX Routing Table entries containing the string netsys and ending with any character are displayed in the Routing Table pane.
The negation operator (tilde) is used to denote the characters not to match on within the IPX Routing Table. It is only allowed as the first character in the Filter field. For example, if you specify ~*132.* in the Filter field and then press Return or click on the Search button, all entries not containing the string 132. are displayed in the Routing Table pane.
Compound searches are also permitted. For example, if you wanted to display all IPX Routing Table entries with forward to interface value of Fddi and whose next hop router is netsys8, you would enter *Fddi*netsys8* in the Filter field and then press Return or click on the Search button.
Click on this button to initiate the search of the IPX Routing Table using the filter you have specified in the Filter field.
Click on this button to remove specified types of entries from the IPX Routing Table. See "IPX Suppress Entries Window Components" for detailed information about the Suppress Entries window components. The number of IPX Routing Table entries being suppressed and a total of all IPX Routing Table entries are displayed within parentheses next to the Suppress button.
The IPX Suppress Entries window, shown in Figure 10-7, is displayed when you click on the Suppress button in the IPX Routing Table window. This window allows you to specify the information you wish to keep from being included in the IPX Routing Table being displayed. For example, you can specify to have all directly connected (C) related entries suppressed from the IPX Routing Table by selecting the Add Suppression ALG button, specifying C in the ALG field, deselecting all other Add Suppression buttons, and then clicking on the Add button.
This window's components are described in the following sections. See "General Window Components" for a description of the Close and Help buttons. When you click on the Close button, the suppression parameters currently in effect are saved. When you subsequently invoke the IPX Suppress Entries window, the suppression parameters that were in effect when the window was last closed remain in effect.
A list of the suppression entries currently in effect are displayed in this pane. When an entry is added to this list, the IPX Routing Table entries that match the suppression parameters are no longer displayed in the IPX Routing Table. Initially suppression is not in effect, therefore the Suppressed Entries list is empty.
Select an entry from the Suppressed Entries list then click on this button to remove that entry from the list. This action results in the IPX Routing Table entries that were suppressed due to the suppression parameters associated with this entry being displayed again and also removes the entry's suppression parameters from existence.
Click on this button to remove all of the entries used to suppress IPX Routing Table entries from the Suppressed Entries list. This action results in the IPX Routing Table entries that were suppressed due to the suppression parameters associated with all of the entries being displayed again and also removes all suppression parameters from existence.
The Add Suppression pane contains buttons related to the columns in the IPX Routing Table window's Routing Table pane. Deselecting a button removes that category from suppression consideration. Select a buttonen specify a value that when found within that column in an IPX Routing Table entry, will cause that entry to be suppressed from the table. For example, if you want to suppress IPX Routing Table entries that use the Ethernet0/0 interface to forward packets on to the next router, select the Forward To button, specify Ethernet0/0 in the button's text field, deselect the other Add Suppression buttons, then click on the Add button. All entries that contained Ethernet0/0 in the Forward To column are no longer shown in the IPX Routing Table. The suppression number within the parentheses next to the Suppression button is updated to reflect the number of IPX Routing Table entries currently being suppressed.
When you initially click on the Suppress button or create a suppression entry and add it to the Suppressed Entries list, all of the Add Suppression buttons in the Suppress Entries window are selected and their corresponding text fields contain the values associated with the selected entry in the IPX Routing Table window. Clicking on the Add button at this point removes that entry from the IPX Routing Table.
You can use the wild card character (an asterisk) to match any or all characters. When a field contains only an asterisk it is equivalent to specifying all items within that category. For example, specifying an asterisk in the ALG field, deselecting all other Add Suppression buttons, and then clicking on the Add button results in an empty IPX Routing Table as the suppression mode was set to suppress entries for all protocol algorithms.
Select the ALG button and then specify the protocol algorithm(s) whose entries you do not want included in the IPX Routing Table, in the ALG field.
Select the Dest. Addr button and then specify the IPX network address of the destination network whose entries you do not want included in the IPX Routing Table, in the Dest. Addr field.
Select the Cost button and then specify the administrative distance and hop count cost values whose entries you do not want included in the IPX Routing Table, in the Cost field.
Select the Forward To button and then specify the symbolic name of this router's interface that is used to send information to the next router along the path to the destination network whose entries you do not want included in the IPX Routing Table, in the Forward To field.
Select the Next Router button and then specify the name of the next router along the path to the destination whose entries you do not want included in the IPX Routing Table, in the Next Router field.
Once you have selected the IPX Routing Table category button(s) and specified the associated text in the button's text field(s), clicking on the Add button adds the suppression parameters to the Suppressed Entries list and initiates the suppression of the corresponding entries from the IPX Routing Table. The number of entries currently being suppressed (displayed within parentheses next to the Suppression button in the IPX Routing Table window) is updated accordingly.
When you click on the Close button, the suppression parameters currently in effect are saved. When you subsequently invoke the Suppress Entries window, the suppression parameters that were in effect when the window was last closed remain in effect.
The IPX Routing Algorithms window, shown in Figure 10-8, is displayed when you click on the IPX Algorithms button in the Router Configuration window. This window allows you to view and modify the IPX routing algorithm configured for the router. The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the only IPX routing algorithm currently supported by the Connectivity Tools.
This window's components are described in the following sections. See "General Window Components" for a description of the Context, Apply, Revert, Close, and Help buttons.
This pane displays a list of the IPX Routing Algorithms supported by the current router. As RIP is the only IPX routing algorithm supported in this release of the Connectivity Solver, select the rip entry from the list then click on the View IPX Routing Algorithm button. The RIP Algorithm window, described in detail in "RIP IPX Algorithm Window" is displayed.
Select the RIP IPX algorithms entry in the Algorithms list, then click on this button to switch the context from the IPX Routing Algorithms window to the RIP IPX Algorithm window. The RIP Algorithm window, described in detail in "RIP IPX Algorithm Window" is displayed. Information about the RIP routing protocol attributes are displayed in this window. New attributes can be added and existing attributes can be modified or deleted from within this window.
The RIP IPX Algorithm window, shown in Figure 10-9, is displayed when you select the rip routing protocol entry in the Algorithms list in the IPX Routing Algorithms window, and then click on the View Routing Algorithm button. This window allows you to view and modify the RIP IPX routing protocol algorithm attributes being used in the current router configuration.
This window's components are described in the following sections. See "General Window Components" for a description of the Context, Delete, Apply, Revert, Close, and Help buttons.
When an entry in either the SAP or Network Filter Interface List is selected, the standard IPX access list number associated with the selected entry is displayed in this field. The View List button is then activated. Valid access list numbers range from 800 through 899 for IPX Network filters. Valid access list numbers range from 1000 through 1099 for IPX SAP filters.
Click on this button to switch context to the corresponding Filter Interface List window (SAP or Network.)
