IPX Enhanced IGRP Commands

IPX Enhanced IGRP Commands

Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor IPX enhanced IGRP on Novell IPX networks. For IPX enhanced IGRP configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring IPX Enhanced IGRP" chapter in this publication. For a description of other IPX configuration commands, refer to the Router Products Configuration Guide and the Router Products Command Reference publications. For historical background and a technical overview of IPX, see the Internetworking Technology Overview publication.

distribute-list in

To filter networks received in updates, use the distribute-list in router configuration command. To change or cancel the filter, use the no form of this command.

distribute-list access-list-number in [interface-name]
no distribute-list
access-list-number in [interface-name]
Syntax Description
access-list-number Standard IPX access list number in the range 800 to 899. The list explicitly specifies which networks are to be received and which are to be suppressed.
in Applies the access list to incoming routing updates.
interface-name (Optional) Interface on which the access list should be applied to incoming updates. If no interface is specified, the access list is applied to all incoming updates.
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Example

The following example causes only two networks--network 2 and network 3--to be accepted by an IP enhanced IGRP routing process:

access-list 800 permit 2 access-list 800 permit 3 access-list 800 deny -1 ! ipx router eigrp 100 network 3 distribute-list 800 in
Related Commands

A dagger (+) indicates that the command is documented in the Router Products Command Reference publication.

access-list +
distribute-list out
redistribute

distribute-list out

To suppress networks from being advertised in updates, use the distribute-list out router configuration command. To cancel this function, use the no form of this command.

distribute-list access-list-number out [interface-name | routing-process]
no distribute-list
access-list-number out [interface-name | routing-process]
Syntax Description
access-list-number Standard IPX access list number in the range 800 to 899. The list explicitly specifies which networks are to be sent and which are to be suppressed in routing updates.
out Applies the access list to outgoing routing updates.
interface-name (Optional) Interface on which the access list should be applied to outgoing updates. If no interface is specified, the access list is applied to all outgoing updates.
routing-process (Optional) Name of a particular routing process (rip or eigrp autonomous-system-number).
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

Router configuration

Usage Guidelines

When redistributing networks, a routing process name can be specified as an optional trailing argument to the distribute-list out command. This causes the access list to be applied to only those routes derived from the specified routing process. After the process-specific access list is applied, any access list specified by a distribute-list out command without a process name argument is applied. Addresses not specified in the distribute-list out command are not advertised in outgoing routing updates.

Example

The following example causes only one network--network 3--to be advertised by an IPX enhanced IGRP routing process:

access-list 800 permit 3 access-list 800 deny -1 ! ipx router eigrp 100 network 3 distribute-list 800 out
Related Commands

ipx backup-server-query-interval

To change the time between successive queries of each IPX enhanced IGRP neighbor's backup server table, use the ipx backup-server-query-interval global configuration command. To restore the default time, use the no form of this command.

ipx backup-server-query-interval interval
no ipx backup-server-query-interval
Syntax Description
interval Minimum time, in seconds, between successive queries of each enhanced IGRP neighbor's backup server table. The default is 15 seconds.
Default

15 seconds

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

A lower interval may use more CPU resources, but may cause lost server information to be retrieved from other servers' tables sooner.

Example

The following example changes the server query time to 5 seconds:

ipx backup-server-query-interval 5

ipx hello-interval eigrp

To configure the interval between IPX enhanced IGRP hello packets, use the ipx hello-interval eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.

ipx hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
no ipx hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
Syntax Description
autonomous-system-number IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
seconds Interval between hello packets, in seconds. The default interval is 5 seconds, which is one-third of the default hold time.
Default

5 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If the current value for the hold time is less than two times the interval between hello packets, the hold time will be reset.

Example

The following example changes the hello interval to 10 seconds:

interface ethernet 0 ipx network 10 ipx hello-interval eigrp 4 10
Related Command

ipx hold-time eigrp

ipx hold-time eigrp

To specify the length of time a neighbor should consider IPX enhanced IGRP hello packets valid, use the ipx hold-time eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default time, use the no form of this command.

ipx hold-time eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
no ipx hold-time eigrp
autonomous-system-number seconds
Syntax Description
autonomous-system-number IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
seconds Hold time, in seconds. The hold time is advertised in hello packets and indicates to neighbors the length of time they should consider the sender valid. The default hold time is 15 seconds, which is three times the hello interval.
Default

15 seconds

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

If the current value for the hold time is less than two times the interval between hello packets, the hold time will be reset to three times the hello interval.

If a router does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through the router are considered available.

Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.

Example

The following example changes the hold time to 45 seconds:

interface ethernet 0 ipx network 10 ipx hold-time eigrp 4 45
Related Command

ipx hello-interval eigrp

ipx router

To specify the routing protocol to use, use the ipx router global configuration command.

ipx router {eigrp autonomous-system-number | rip}
Syntax Description
eigrp autonomous-system-number Specifies the IPX enhanced IGRP routing protocol. The argument autonomous-system-number is the IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
rip Specifies the RIP routing protocol. It is on by default.
Default

RIP

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

You can configure multiple IPX enhanced IGRP processes on a router. To do so, assign each a different autonomous system number.

Example

The following example enables IPX enhanced IGRP on the router:

ipx router eigrp 4
Related Commands

network
redistribute

ipx sap-incremental eigrp

To send SAP updates only when a change occurs in the SAP table, use the ipx sap-incremental eigrp interface configuration command. To send periodic SAP updates, use the no form of this command.

ipx sap-incremental eigrp autonomous-system-number [rsup-only]
no ipx sap-incremental eigrp
autonomous-system-number [rsup-only]
Syntax Description
autonomous-system-number IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
rsup-only (Optional) Indicates that the system uses enhanced IGRP on this interface to carry reliable SAP update information only.
Default

Enabled on serial interfaces
Disabled on LAN media (Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI)

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

With this functionality enabled, if an IPX enhanced IGRP peer is found on the interface, SAP updates will be sent only when a change occurs in the SAP table. Periodic SAP updates are not sent. When no IPX enhanced IGRP peer is present on the interface, periodic SAPs are always sent regardless of how this command is set.

If you configure the local router to send incremental SAP updates on an Ethernet, and if the local router has at least one IPX enhanced IGRP neighbor and any servers, clients, or routers that do not have IPX enhanced IGRP configured on the Ethernet interface, these devices will not receive complete SAP information from the local router.

If the incremental sending of SAP updates on an interface is configured and no IPX enhanced IGRP peer is found, SAP updates will be sent periodically until a peer is found. Then, updates will be sent only when changes occur in the SAP table.

To reduce SAP traffic by sending partial SAP updates, specify the rsup-only keyword. SAP udpates are then sent only when changes occur, and only changes are sent. This feature works with existing IPX RIP networks and IPX enhanced IGRP networks.

Example

The following example sends SAP updates on Ethernet interface 0 only when there is a change in the SAP table:

interface ethernet 0 ipx sap-incremental eigrp 200

ipx split-horizon eigrp

To configure split horizon, use the ipx split-horizon eigrp interface configuration command. To disable split horizon, use the no form of this command.

ipx split-horizon eigrp autonomous-system-number
no ipx split-horizon eigrp
autonomous-system-number
Syntax Description
autonomous-system-number IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
Default

Enabled

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

When split horizon is enabled, IPX enhanced IGRP update and query packets are not sent for destinations that have next hops on this interface. This reduces the number of enhanced IGRP packets on the network.

Split horizon blocks information about routes from being advertised by a router out any interface from which that information originated. This behavior usually optimizes communication among multiple routers, particularly when links are broken. However, with nonbroadcast networks, such as Frame Relay and SMDS, situations can arise for which this behavior is less than ideal. For these situations, you may wish to disable split horizon.

Example

The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:

interface serial 0 no ipx split-horizon eigrp 200

network

To enable IPX enhanced IGRP on the router, use the network IPX-router configuration command. To disable IPX enhanced IGRP on the router, use the no form of this command.

network {network-number | all}
no network {
network-number | all}
Syntax Description
network-number IPX network number
all Enables the routing protocol for all IPX networks configured on the router
Default

Disabled

Command Mode

IPX-router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use the network command to enable the routing protocol specified in the ipx router command on each network.

Example

The following commands disable RIP on network 10 and enable IPX enhanced IGRP on networks 10 and 20:

ipx router rip no network 10 ipx router eigrp 12 network 10 network 20
Related Command

ipx router

redistribute

To redistribute from one routing domain into another, and vice versa, use the redistribute IPX-router configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

redistribute {rip | eigrp autonomous-system-number | connected | static}
no redistribute {rip | eigrp autonomous-system-number | connected | static}
Syntax Description
rip Specifies the RIP protocol.
eigrp autonomous-system-number Specifies the enhanced IGRP protocol and the IPX enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
connected Specifies connected routes.
static Specifies static routes.
Default

Redistribution is enabled by default between all routing domains except between separate enhanced IGRP processes.

Command Mode

IPX-router configuration

Usage Guidelines

Redistribution provides for routing information generated by one protocol to be advertised in another.

The only connected routes affected by this redistribute command are the routes not specified by the network command.

Examples

In the following example, RIP routing information is not redistributed:

ipx router eigrp 222 no redistribute rip

In the following example, enhanced IGRP routes from autonomous system 100 are redistributed into enhanced IGRP autonomous sytem 300:

router eigrp 300 redistribute eigrp 100

show ipx eigrp neighbors

To display the neighbors discovered by enhanced IGRP, use the show ipx eigrp neighbors EXEC command.

show ipx eigrp neighbors [servers] [autonomous-system-number | type unit]
Syntax Description
servers (Optional) Displays the server list advertised by each neighbor. This is displayed only if the ipx sap incremental command is enabled on the interface on which the neighbor resides.
autonomous-system-number (Optional) Autonomous system number. It can be a decimal integer from 1 to 65535.
type unit (Optional) Interface type and number about which to display neighbor information.
Command Mode

EXEC

Sample Display

Net E04 Network to which the route goes.
[345088/2] The first number is the enhanced IGRP metric, and the second number is the external hop count (for routes learned from enhanced IGRP). The external hop count is the hop count that was advertised when this destination first entered the enhanced IGRP autonomous system. If the external hop count is 0, this is an internal enhanced IGRP route. When this destination is announced via RIP by this router, the router will add one to this value and use the result as the RIP hop count. The external hop count is not incremented when the destination is advertised via enhanced IGRP.
[120/2] Ticks/metric (for routes learned from RIP). Ticks are the number of IBM clock ticks (1/18th second). When ipx algorithms is enabled, hop count is used as a tie-breaker between routes if the tick count is the same. The metric is the IPX metric used in making routing decisions.
age (For routes learned from enhanced IGRP only.) Length of time since this route was first learned. The time is represented in the format hh:mm:ss until 24 hours have elapsed, after which it is represented dddhh until one week has elapsed. After one week, the age is represented wwwdd.
via network.node Address of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.
