Novell Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) is derived from the Xerox Network Systems (XNS) Internet Datagram Protocol (IDP). One major difference between IPX and XNS is that they do not always use the same Ethernet encapsulation format. A second difference is that IPX uses Novell's proprietary Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) to advertise special network services.
Our implementation of Novell's IPX protocol has been certified as providing full IPX router functionality.
Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor Novell IPX networks. For IPX configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Novell IPX" chapter in the Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 2.
To define an extended Novell IPX access list, use the extended version of the access-list global configuration command. To remove an extended access list, use the no form of this command.

To delete an extended access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-numberTo delete the access list for a specific protocol, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} protocolThe following example denies access to all RIP packets from the RIP process socket on source network 1 that are destined for the RIP process socket on network 2. It permits all other traffic. This example uses protocol and socket names rather than hexadecimal numbers.
access-list 900 deny -1 1 rip 2 rip
access-list 900 permit -1
The following example permits type 2 packets from any socket from host 10.0000.0C01.5234 to access any sockets on any node on networks 1000 through 100F. It denies all other traffic (with an implicit deny all):

access-list-number | Number of the access list. This is a number from 1200 to 1299. |
deny | Denies redistribution of explicit routes if the conditions are matched. If you have enabled route summarization with route-aggregation command, the router redistributes an aggregated route instead. |
permit | Permits redistribution of explicit routes if the conditions are matched. |
network | Network number to summarize. An IPX network number is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFE. A network number of 0 matches the local network. A network number of -1 matches all networks. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
network-mask | Specifies the portion of the network address that is common to all addresses in the route summary. The high-order bits of network-mask must be contiguous Fs, while the low-order bits must be contiguous zeros (0). An arbitrary mix of Fs and 0s is not permitted. |

Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
When configuring SAP filters for NetWare 3.11 and later servers, use the server's internal network and node number (the node number is always 0000.0000.0001) as its address in the access-list command. Do not use the network.node address of the particular interface board.
Table 47 lists some sample IPX SAP types. For more information about SAP types, contact Novell. Note that in the filter (specified by the service-type argument), we define a value of 0 to filter all SAP services. If, however, you receive a SAP packet with a SAP type of 0, this indicates an unknown service.
To delete a SAP access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-numberTo delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} networkThe following access list blocks all access to a file server (service Type 4) on the directly attached network by resources on other Novell networks, but allows access to all other available services on the interface:

Standard IPX access lists filter on the source network. All other parameters are optional.
Use the ipx access-group command to assign an access list to an interface. You can apply only one extended or one standard access list to an interface. The access list filters all outgoing packets on the interface.
To delete a standard access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper access list. For example, to delete the entire access list, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-numberTo delete the access list for a specific network, use the following command:
no access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} source-networkThe following example denies access to traffic from all IPX networks (-1) to destination network 2:
access-list 800 deny -1 2
The following example denies access to all traffic from IPX address 1.0000.0c00.1111:
access-list 800 deny 1.0000.0c00.1111

To define a set of network numbers to be part of the current NLSP area, use the area-address router configuration command. To remove a set of network numbers from the current NLSP area, use the no form of this command.
area-address address mask
address | Network number prefix. This is a 32-bit hexadecimal number. |
mask | Mask that defines the length of the network number prefix. This is a 32-bit hexadecimal number. |
No area address is defined by default.
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
You must configure at least one area address before NLSP will operate.
The area-address command defines a prefix that includes all networks in the area. This prefix allows a single route to an area address to substitute for a longer list of networks.
All networks on which NLSP is enabled must fall under the area address prefix. This configuration is for future compatibility. When Level 2 NLSP becomes available, the only route advertised for the area will be the area address prefix (the prefix represents all networks within the area).
All routers in an NLSP area must be configured with a common area address, or they will form separate areas. You can configure up to three area addresses on the router.
The area address must have zero bits in all bit positions where the mask has zero bits. The mask must consist of only left-justified contiguous one bits.
The following example defines an area address that includes networks AAAABBC0 through AAAABBDF:
area-address AAAABBC0 FFFFFFE0
The following example defines an area address that includes all networks:
area-address 0 0

To delete all entries in the accounting database when IPX accounting is enabled, use the clear ipx accounting EXEC command.
clear ipx accounting [checkpoint]
checkpoint | (Optional) Clears the checkpoint database. |
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Specifying the clear ipx accounting command with no keywords copies the active database to the checkpoint database and clears all entries in the active database. When cleared, active database entries and static entries, such as those set by the ipx accounting-list command, are reset to zero. Dynamically found entries are deleted.
Any traffic that traverses the router after you issue the clear ipx accounting command is saved in the active database. Accounting information in the checkpoint database at that time reflects traffic prior to the most recent clear ipx accounting command.
You can also delete all entries in the active and checkpoint database by issuing the clear ipx accounting command twice in succession.
The following example first displays the contents of the active database before the contents are cleared. Then, the clear ipx accounting command clears all entries in the active database. As a result, the show ipx accounting command shows that there is no accounting information in the active database. Lastly, the show ipx accounting checkpoint command shows that the contents of the active database were copied to the checkpoint database when the clear ipx accounting command was issued.

To clear all dynamic entries from the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) cache, use the clear ipx nhrp EXEC command.
clear ipx nhrpThis command has no arguments or keywords.
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
This command does not clear any static (configured) IPX-to-NBMA address mappings from the NHRP cache.
The following example clears all dynamic entries from the NHRP cache for the interface:
clear ipx nhrp
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To delete all NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) adjacencies from the Cisco IOS software's adjacency database, use the clear ipx nlsp neighbors EXEC command.
clear ipx nlsp [tag] neighbors
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Deleting all entries from the adjacency database forces all routers in the area to perform the shortest path first (SPF) calculation.
When you specify an NLSP tag, the router clears all NLSP adjacencies discovered by that NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
Configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.
The following example deletes all NLSP adjacencies from the adjacency database:
clear ipx nlsp neighbors
The following example deletes the NLSP adjacencies for process area2:
clear ipx nlsp area2 neighbors
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.

clear ipx route {network [network-mask] | default | *}
network | Number of the network whose routing table entry you want to delete. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
network-mask | (Optional) Specifies the portion of the network address that is common to all addresses in an NLSP route summary. When used with the network argument, it specifies the an NLSP route summary to clear. The high-order bits of network-mask must be contiguous Fs, while the low-order bits must be contiguous zeros (0). An arbitrary mix of Fs and 0s is not permitted. |
default | Deletes the default route from the routing table. |
* | Deletes all routes in the routing table. |
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The network-mask argument and default keyword first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
network-mask | Specifies the portion of the network address that is common to all addresses in the route summary, expressed as an 8-digit hexadecimal number. The high-order bits of network-mask must be contiguous 1s, while the low-order bits must be contiguous zeros (0). An arbitrary mix of 1s and 0s is not permitted. |
ticks ticks | (Optional) Metric assigned to the route summary. The default is 1 tick. |
area-count area-count | (Optional) Maximum number of NLSP areas to which the route summary can be redistributed. The default is 6 areas. |
No access lists are defined.
Access-list configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
Use this command following the ipx access-list command to prevent the redistribution of explicit networks that are denied by the access list entry and, instead, generate an appropriate aggregated (summary) route.
For additional information on creating access lists that deny or permit area addresses that summarize routes, see the access-list (NLSP route aggregation summarization) command.
The following example from a configuration file defines the access list named finance for NLSP route aggregation. This access list prevents redistribution of explicit routes in the range 12345600 to 123456FF and, instead, summarizes these routes into a single aggregated route. The access list allows explicit route redistribution of all other routes.

To apply generic input and output filters to an interface, use the ipx access-group interface configuration command. To remove filters, use the no form of this command.
ipx access-group {access-list-number | name} [in | out]
access-list-number | Number of the access list. For standard access lists, access-list-number is a number from 800 to 899. For extended access lists, access-list-number is a number from 900 to 999. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark and must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
in | (Optional) Filters inbound packets. All incoming packets defined with either standard or extended access lists are filtered by the entries in this access list. |
out | (Optional) Filters outbound packets. All outgoing packets defined with either standard or extended access lists and forwarded through the interface are filtered by the entries in this access list. This is the default when you do not specify an input (in) or output (out) keyword in the command line. |
No filters are predefined.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Generic filters control which data packets an interface receives or sends out based on the packet's source and destination addresses, IPX protocol type, and source and destination socket numbers. You use the standard access-list and extended access-list commands to specify the filtering conditions.
You can apply only one input filter and one output filter per interface or subinterface.
When you do not specify an input (in) or output (out) filter in the command line, the default is an output filter.
You cannot configure an output filter on an interface where autonomous switching is already configured. Similarly, you cannot configure autonomous switching on an interface where an output filter is already present. You cannot configure an input filter on an interface if autonomous switching is already configured on any interface. Likewise, you cannot configure input filters if autonomous switching is already enabled on any interface.
In the following example, access list 801 is applied to Ethernet interface 1. Because the command line does not specify an input filter or output filter with the keywords in or out, the software assumes that it is an output filter.
interface ethernet 1
ipx access-group 801
In the following example, access list 901 is applied to Ethernet interface 0. The access list is an input filter access list as specified by the keyword in.
interface ethernet 0
ipx access-group 901 in
To remove the input access list filter in the previous example, you must specify the in keyword when you use the no form of the command. The following example correctly removes the access list:
interface ethernet 0
no ipx access-group 901 in

summary | Specifies area addresses that summarize routes using NLSP route aggregation filtering. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and they must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
There is no default named IPX access list.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
Use this command to configure a named IPX access list as opposed to a numbered IPX access list. This command will take you into access-list configuration mode, where you must define the denied or permitted access conditions with the deny and permit commands.
Specifying standard, extended, sap, or summary with the ipx access-list command determines the prompt you get when you enter access-list configuration mode.
Named access lists are not compatible with Cisco IOS releases prior to Release 11.3.
The following example creates a standard access list named fred. It permits communication with only IPX network number 5678.
ipx access-list standard fred
permit 5678 any

To enable IPX accounting, use the ipx accounting interface configuration command. To disable IPX accounting, use the no form of this command.
ipx accountingThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
IPX accounting allows you to collect information about IPX packets and the number of bytes that are switched through the Cisco IOS software. You collect information based on the source and destination IPX address. IPX accounting tracks only IPX traffic that is routed out an interface on which IPX accounting is configured; it does not track traffic generated by or terminated at the router itself.
The Cisco IOS software maintains two accounting databases: an active database and a checkpoint database. The active database contains accounting data tracked until the database is cleared. When the active database is cleared, its contents are copied to the checkpoint database. Using these two databases together allows you to monitor both current traffic and traffic that has previously traversed the router.
IPX accounting statistics will be accurate even if IPX access lists are being used or if IPX fast switching is enabled. Enabling IPX accounting significantly decreases performance of a fast switched interface.
IPX accounting does not keep statistics if autonomous switching is enabled. In fact, IPX accounting is disabled if autonomous or SSE switching is enabled.
The following example enables IPX accounting on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet 0
ipx accounting
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
clear ipx accounting

To filter networks for which IPX accounting information is kept, use the ipx accounting-list global configuration command. To remove the filter, use the no form of this command.
ipx accounting-list number mask
number | Network number. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA you can enter AA. |
mask | Network mask. |
No filters are predefined.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The source and destination addresses of each IPX packet traversing the router are compared with the network numbers in the filter. If there is a match, accounting information about the IPX packet is entered into the active accounting database. If there is no match, the IPX packet is considered to be a transit packet and may be counted, depending on the setting of the ipx accounting-transits global configuration command.
The following example adds all networks with IPX network numbers beginning with 1 to the list of networks for which accounting information is kept:
ipx accounting-list 1 0000.0000.0000
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.

To set the maximum number of accounting database entries, use the ipx accounting-threshold global configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
ipx accounting-threshold threshold
threshold | Maximum number of entries (source and destination address pairs) that the Cisco IOS software can accumulate. |
512 entries
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The accounting threshold defines the maximum number of entries (source and destination address pairs) that the software accumulates. The threshold is designed to prevent IPX accounting from consuming all available free memory. This level of memory consumption could occur in a router that is switching traffic for many hosts. To determine whether overflows have occurred, use the show ipx accounting EXEC command.
The following example sets the IPX accounting database threshold to 500 entries:
ipx accounting-threshold 500
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
clear ipx accounting
ipx accounting
ipx accounting-list
ipx accounting-transits
show ipx accounting
To set the maximum number of transit entries that will be stored in the IPX accounting database, use the ipx accounting-transits global configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.
ipx accounting-transits count
count | Number of transit entries that will be stored in the IPX accounting database. |
0 entries
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Transit entries are those that do not match any of the networks specified by ipx accounting-list global configuration commands. If you have not defined networks with ipx accounting-list commands, IPX accounting tracks all traffic through the interface (all transit entries) up to the accounting threshold limit.
The following example specifies a maximum of 100 transit records to be stored in the IPX accounting database:
ipx accounting-transits 100
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.

To advertise only the default RIP route via the specified network, use the ipx advertise-default-route-only interface configuration command. To advertise all known RIP routes out the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx advertise-default-route-only network
network | Number of the network via which to advertise the default route. |
Disabled (that is, all known routes are advertised out the interface)
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
If you specify the ipx advertise-default-route-only command, only a known default RIP route is advertised out the interface; no other networks will be advertised. If you have a large number of routes in the routing table, for example, on the order of 1,000 routes, none of them will be advertised out the interface. However, if the default route is known, it will be advertised. Nodes on the interface can still reach any of the 1,000 networks via the default route.
Specifying the ipx advertise-default-route-only command results in a significant reduction in CPU processing overhead when there are many routes and many interfaces. It also reduces the load on downstream routers.
This command applies only to RIP. NLSP and Enhanced IGRP are not affected when you enable this command. They continue to advertise all routes that they know about.
The following example enables the advertising of the default route only:
interface ethernet 1
ipx network 1234
ipx advertise-default-route-only 1234
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To change the time between successive queries of each 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
interval | Minimum time, in seconds, between successive queries of each Enhanced IGRP neighbor's backup server table. The default is 15 seconds. |
15 seconds
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
A lower interval may use more CPU resources, but may cause lost server information to be retrieved from other servers' tables sooner.
The following example changes the server query time to 5 seconds:
ipx backup-server-query-interval 5
To configure the percentage of bandwidth that may be used by Enhanced IGRP on an interface, use the ipx bandwidth-percent eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx bandwidth-percent eigrp as-number percent
as-number | Autonomous system number. |
percent | Percentage of bandwidth that Enhanced IGRP may use. |
50 percent
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
Enhanced IGRP will use up to 50 percent of the bandwidth of a link, as defined by the bandwidth interface configuration command. This command may be used if some other fraction of the bandwidth is desired. Note that values greater than 100 percent may be configured; this may be useful if the bandwidth is set artificially low for other reasons.
The following example allows Enhanced IGRP to use up to 75 percent (42 kbps) of a 56 kbps serial link in autonomous system 209:
interface serial 0
bandwidth 56
ipx bandwidth-percent eigrp 209 75

To enable the router to fast switch IPX directed broadcast packets, use the ipx broadcast-fastswitching global configuration command. To disable fast switching of IPX directed broadcast packets, use the no form of the command.
ipx broadcast-fastswitchingThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
The default behavior is to process-switch directed broadcast packets.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
A directed broadcast is one with a network layer destination address of the form net.ffff.ffff.ffff. The ipx broadcast-fastswitching command permits the router to fast switch IPX directed broadcast packets. This may be useful in certain broadcast-based applications that rely on helpering.
Note that the router never uses autonomous switching for eligible directed broadcast packets, even if autonomous switching is enabled on the output interface. Also note that routing and service updates are always exempt from this treatment.
The following example enables the router to fast switch IPX directed broadcast packets:
ipx broadcast-fastswitching
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To set the default interpacket delay for RIP updates sent on all interfaces, use the ipx default-output-rip-delay global configuration command. To return to the initial default delay value, use the no form of this command.
ipx default-output-rip-delay delay
delay | Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update. The default delay is 55 ms. Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms. |
55 ms
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet routing update. The ipx default-output-rip-delay command sets a default interpacket delay for all interfaces.
The system uses the delay specified by the ipx default-output-rip-delay command for periodic and triggered routing updates when no delay is set for periodic and triggered routing updates on an interface. When you set a delay for triggered routing updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx default-output-rip-delay command for only the periodic routing updates sent on all interfaces.
To set a delay for triggered routing updates, see the ipx triggered-rip-delay or ipx default-triggered-rip-delay commands.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX machines. These machines may lose RIP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by this command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these IPX machines.
The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.
This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.
The following example sets a default interpacket delay of 55 ms for RIP updates sent on all interfaces:
ipx default-output-rip-delay 55

When you set a delay for triggered updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx default-output-sap-delay command only for the periodic SAP updates sent on all interfaces.
To set a delay for triggered updates, see the ipx triggered-sap-delay or ipx default-triggered-sap-delay commands.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX servers. These servers may lose SAP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them.

To forward to the default network all packets for which a route to the destination network is unknown, use the ipx default-route global configuration command. To disable the use of the default network, use the no form of this command.
ipx default-routeThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Enabled; that is, all packets for which a route to the destination is unknown are forwarded to the default network, which is -2 (0xFFFFFFFE).
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
When you use the no ipx default-route command, Cisco IOS software no longer uses -2 as the default network. Instead, the software interprets -2 as a regular network and packets for which a route to the destination network is unknown are dropped.
The following example disables the forwarding of packets towards the default network:
no ipx default-route

To set the default interpacket delay for triggered RIP updates sent on all interfaces, use the ipx default-triggered-rip-delay global configuration command. To return to the system default delay, use the no form of this command.
ipx default-triggered-rip-delay delay
delay | Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update. The default delay is 55 ms. Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms. |
55 ms
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet routing update. A triggered routing update is one that the system sends in response to a "trigger" event, such as a request packet, interface up/down, route up/down, or server up/down.
The ipx default-triggered-rip-delay command sets the default interpacket delay for triggered routing updates sent on all interfaces. On a single interface, you can override this global default delay for triggered routing updates using the ipx triggered-rip-delay interface command.
The global default delay for triggered routing updates overrides the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered routing updates.
If the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command is high, then we strongly recommend a low delay value for triggered routing updates so that updates triggered by special events are sent in a more timely manner than periodic routing updates.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX machines. These machines may lose RIP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by this command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these IPX machines.
The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is approximately 100 ms.
When you do not set the interpacket delay for triggered routing updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for both periodic and triggered routing updates.
When you use the no form of the ipx default-triggered-rip-delay command, the system uses the delay set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered RIP updates, if set. Otherwise, the system uses the initial default delay as described in the "Default" section.
This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links, or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.
The following example sets an interpacket delay of 55 ms for triggered routing updates sent on all interfaces:
ipx default-triggered-rip-delay 55

The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet SAP update. A triggered SAP update is one that the system sends in response to a "trigger" event, such as a request packet, interface up/down, route up/down, or server up/down.
The ipx default-triggered-sap-delay command sets the default interpacket delay for triggered SAP updates sent on all interfaces. On a single interface, you can override this global default delay for triggered updates using the ipx triggered-sap-delay interface command.
The global default delay for triggered updates overrides the delay value set by the ipx output-sap-delay or ipx default-output-sap-delay command for triggered updates.
If the delay value set by the ipx output-sap-delay or ipx default-output-sap-delay command is high, then we strongly recommend a low delay value for triggered updates so that updates triggered by special events are sent in a more timely manner than periodic updates.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX servers. These servers may lose SAP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them.

To set the tick count, use the ipx delay interface configuration command. To reset the default increment in the delay field, use the no form of this command.
ipx delay ticks
ticks | Number of IBM clock ticks of delay to use. One clock tick is 1/18 of a second (approximately 55 ms). |
The default delay is determined from the delay configured on the interface with the delay command. It is (interface delay + 333) / 334. Therefore, unless you change the delay by a value greater than 334, you will not notice a difference.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx delay command sets the count used in the IPX RIP delay field, which is also known as the ticks field.
IPXWAN links determine their delay dynamically. If you do not specify the ipx delay command on an interface and you have not changed the interface delays with the interface delay interface configuration command, all LAN interfaces have a delay of 1 and all WAN interfaces have a delay of 6. The preferred method of adjusting delays is to use the ipx delay command, not the interface delay command. The show ipx interface EXEC command display only the delay value configured with the ipx delay command.
With IPXWAN, if you change the interface delay with the interface delay command, the ipx delay command uses that delay when calculating a delay to use. Also, when changing delays with IPXWAN, the changes affect only the link's calculated delay on the side considered to be the master.
Leaving the delay at its default value is sufficient for most interfaces.
The following example changes the delay for serial interface 0 to 10 ticks:
interface serial 0
ipx delay 10

To administratively shut down an IPX network, use the ipx down interface configuration command. To restart the network, use the no form of this command.
ipx down network
network | Number of the network to shut down. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx down command administratively shuts down the specified network. The network still exists in the configuration, but is not active. When shutting down, the network sends out update packets informing its neighbors that it is shutting down. This allows the neighboring systems to update their routing, SAP, and other tables without having to wait for routes and services learned via this network to time out.
To shut down an interface in a manner that is considerate of one's neighbor, use ipx down before using the shutdown command.
The following example administratively shuts down network AA on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet 0
ipx down AA
To disable the sending of replies to IPX Get Nearest Server (GNS) queries, use the ipx gns-reply-disable interface configuration command. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
ipx gns-reply-disableThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Replies are sent to IPX GNS queries.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The following example disables the sending of replies to GNS queries on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet 0
ipx gns-reply-disable
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To change the delay when responding to Get Nearest Server (GNS) requests, use the ipx gns-response-delay global or interface configuration command. To return to the default delay, use the no form of this command.
ipx gns-response-delay [milliseconds]
milliseconds | (Optional) Time, in milliseconds, that the Cisco IOS software waits after receiving a GNS request from an IPX client before responding with a server name to that client. The default is zero, which indicates no delay. |
0 (no delay)
Global configuration (globally changes the delay for the router)
Interface configuration (overrides the globally configured delay for an interface)
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
This command can be used in two modes: global configuration or interface configuration. In both modes, the command syntax is the same. A delay in responding to GNS requests might be imposed so that, in certain topologies, any local Novell IPX servers respond to the GNS requests before our software does. It is desirable to have these end-host server systems get their reply to the client before the router does because the client typically takes the first response, not the best response. In this case the best response is the one from the local server.
NetWare 2.x has a problem with dual-connected servers in parallel with a router. If you are using this version of NetWare, you should set a GNS delay. A value of 500 ms is recommended.
In situations in which servers are always located across routers from their clients, there is no need for a delay to be imposed.
The following example sets the delay in responding to GNS requests to 500 ms (0.5 second):
ipx gns-response-delay 500
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To rotate using a round-robin selection method through a set of eligible servers when responding to Get Nearest Server (GNS) requests, use the ipx gns-round-robin global configuration command. To use the most recently learned server, use the no form of this command.
ipx gns-round-robinThe command has no arguments or keywords.
The most recently learned, eligible server is used.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
In the normal server selection process, requests for service are responded to with the most recently learned, closest server. If you enable the round-robin method, the Cisco IOS software maintains a list of the nearest servers eligible to provide specific services. It uses this list when responding to GNS requests. Responses to requests are distributed in a round-robin fashion across all active IPX interfaces on the router.
Eligible servers are those that satisfy the "nearest" requirement for a given request and that are not filtered either by a SAP filter or by a GNS filter.
The following example responds to GNS requests using a round-robin selection method from a list of eligible nearest servers:
ipx gns-round-robin

To configure the interval between 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
autonomous-system-number | Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can a number 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. |
For low-speed NBMA networks: 60 seconds
For all other networks: 5 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The default of 60 seconds applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command. Note that for purposes of Enhanced IGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting; otherwise they are considered not to be NBMA.
The following example changes the hello interval to 10 seconds:
interface ethernet 0
ipx network 10
ipx hello-interval eigrp 4 10
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To forward broadcast packets to a specified server, use the ipx helper-address interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.
ipx helper-address network.node
network | Network on which the target IPX server resides. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range |
.node | Node number of the target Novell server. This is a 48-bit value represented by a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). A node number of FFFF.FFFF.FFFF matches all servers. |
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared prior to Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Routers normally block all broadcast requests and do not forward them to other network segments. This is done to prevent the degradation of performance over the entire network. The ipx helper-address command allows broadcasts to be forwarded to other networks. This is useful when a network segment does not have an end-host capable of servicing a particular type of broadcast request. This command lets you forward the broadcasts to a server, network, or networks that can process them. Incoming unrecognized broadcast packets that match the access list created with the ipx helper-list command, if it is present, are forwarded.
You can specify multiple ipx helper-address commands on a given interface.
The Cisco IOS software supports all-networks flooded broadcasts (sometimes referred to as all-nets flooding). These are broadcast messages that are forwarded to all networks. To configure the all-nets flooding, define the IPX helper address for an interface as follows:
ipx helper-address -1.FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
On systems configured for IPX routing, this helper address is displayed as follows (via the show ipx interface command):
FFFFFFFF.FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
Although our software takes care to keep broadcast traffic to a minimum, some duplication is unavoidable. When loops exist, all-nets flooding can propagate bursts of excess traffic that will eventually age out when the hop count reaches its limit (16 hops). Use all-nets flooding carefully and only when necessary. Note that you can apply additional restrictions by defining a helper list.
To forward type 20 packets to only those nodes specified by the ipx helper-address command, use the ipx helper-address command in conjunction with the ipx type-20-helpered global configuration command.
To forward type 20 packets to all nodes on the network, use the ipx type-20-propagation command. See the ipx type-20-propagation command for more information.
In the following example, all-nets broadcasts on Ethernet interface 0 (except type 20 propagation packets) are forwarded to IPX server 00b4.23cd.110a on network bb:
interface ethernet 0
ipx helper-address bb.00b4.23cd.110a
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
ipx helper-list
ipx type-20-propagation
To assign an access list to an interface to control broadcast traffic (including type 20 propagation packets), use the ipx helper-list interface configuration command. To remove the access list from an interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx helper-list {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the access list. All outgoing packets defined with either standard or extended access lists are filtered by the entries in this access list. For standard access lists, access-list-number is a number from 800 to 899. For extended access lists, it is a number from 900 to 999. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark and must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No access list is preassigned.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared prior to Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx helper-list command specifies an access list to use in forwarding broadcast packets. One use of this command is to prevent client nodes from discovering services they should not use.
Because the destination address of a broadcast packet is by definition the broadcast address, this command is useful only for filtering based on the source address of the broadcast packet.
The helper list, if present, is applied to both all-nets broadcast packets and type 20 propagation packets.
The helper list on the input interface is applied to packets before they are output via either the helper address or type 20 propagation packet mechanism.
The following example assigns access list 900 to Ethernet interface 0 to control broadcast traffic:
interface ethernet 0
ipx helper-list 900

To specify the length of time a lost Enhanced IGRP route is placed in the hold-down state, use the ipx hold-down eigrp interface configuration command. To restore the default time, use the no form of this command.
ipx hold-down eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds
autonomous-system-number | Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number from 1 to 65535. |
seconds | Hold-down time, in seconds. The default hold time is 5 seconds. |
5 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
When an Enhanced IGRP route is lost, it is placed into a hold-down state for a period of time. The purpose of the hold-down state is to ensure the validity of any new routes for the same destination.
The amount of time a lost Enhanced IGRP route is placed in the hold-down state is configurable. Set the amount of time to a value longer than the default of 5 seconds if your network requires a longer time for the unreachable route information to propagate.
The following example changes the hold-down time for autonomous system 4 to 45 seconds:
interface ethernet 0
ipx network 10
ipx hold-down eigrp 4 45
To specify the length of time a neighbor should consider 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
autonomous-system-number | Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number 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 3 times the hello interval. |
For low-speed NBMA networks: 180 seconds
For all other networks: 15 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
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.
The default of 180 seconds applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command.
The following example changes the hold time to 45 seconds:
interface ethernet 0
ipx network 10
ipx hold-time eigrp 4 45
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To control which networks are added to the Cisco IOS software's routing table, use the ipx input-network-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter from the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx input-network-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the access list. All incoming packets defined with either standard or extended access lists are filtered by the entries in this access list. For standard access lists, access-list-number is a number from 800 to 899. For extended access lists, it is a number from 900 to 999. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark and must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No filters are predefined.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx input-network-filter command controls which networks are added to the routing table based on the networks learned in incoming IPX routing updates (RIP updates) on the interface.
You can issue only one ipx input-network-filter command on each interface.
In the following example, access list 876 controls which networks are added to the routing table when IPX routing updates are received on Ethernet interface 1. Routing updates for network 1b will be accepted. Routing updates for all other networks are implicitly denied and are not added to the routing table.
access-list 876 permit 1b
interface ethernet 1
ipx input-network-filter 876
The following example is a variation of the preceding that explicitly denies network 1a and explicitly allows updates for all other networks:
access-list 876 deny 1a
access-list 876 permit -1

To control which services are added to the Cisco IOS software's SAP table, use the ipx input-sap-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter, use the no form of this command.
ipx input-sap-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the SAP access list. All incoming packets are filtered by the entries in this access list. The argument access-list-number is a number from 1000 to 1099. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and they must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No filters are predefined.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx input-sap-filter command filters all incoming service advertisements received by the router. This is done prior to accepting information about a service.
You can issue only one ipx input-sap-filter command on each interface.
When configuring SAP filters for NetWare 3.11 and later servers, use the server's internal network and node number (the node number is always 0000.0000.0001) as its address in the access-list (SAP filtering) command. Do not use the network.node address of the particular interface board.
The following example denies service advertisements about the server at address 3c.0800.89a1.1527, but accepts information about all other services on all other networks:
access-list 1000 deny 3c.0800.89a1.1527

To set an internal network number for use by NLSP and IPXWAN, use the ipx internal-network global configuration command. To remove an internal network number, use the no form of this command.
ipx internal-network network-number
network-number | Number of the internal network. |
No internal network number is set.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
An internal network number is a network number assigned to the router. This network number must be unique within the internetwork.
You must configure an internal network number on each device on an NLSP-capable network for NLSP to operate.
When you set an internal network number, the Cisco IOS software advertises the specified network out all interfaces. It accepts packets destined to that network at the address internal-network.0000.0000.0001.
The following example assigns internal network number e001 to the local router:
ipx routing
ipx internal-network e001
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To enable the IPXWAN protocol on a serial interface, use the ipx ipxwan interface configuration command. To disable the IPXWAN protocol, use the no form of this command.
ipx ipxwan [local-node {network-number | unnumbered} local-server-name retry-interval
local-node | (Optional) Primary network number of the router. This is an IPX network number that is unique across the entire internetwork. On NetWare 3.x servers, the primary network number is called the internal network number. The device with the higher number is determined to be the link master. A value of 0 causes the Cisco IOS software to use the configured internal network number. |
network-number | (Optional) IPX network number to be used for the link if this router is the one determined to be the link master. The number is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 0 to FFFFFFFD. A value 0 is equivalent to specifying the keyword unnumbered. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
unnumbered | (Optional) Specifies that no IPX network number is defined for the link. This is equivalent to specifying a value of 0 for the network-number argument. |
local-server-name | (Optional) Name of the local router. It can be up to 47 characters long, and can contain uppercase letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and at signs (@). On NetWare 3.x servers, this is the router name. For our routers, this is the name of the router as configured via the hostname command; that is, the name that precedes the standard prompt, which is an angle bracket (>) for EXEC mode or a pound sign (#) for privileged EXEC mode. |
retry-interval | (Optional) Retry interval, in seconds. This interval defines how often the software will retry the IPXWAN start-up negotiation if a start-up failure occurs. Retries will occur until the retry limit defined by the retry-limit argument is reached. It can be a value from 1 to 600. The default is 20 seconds. |
retry-limit | (Optional) Maximum number of times the software retries the IPXWAN start-up negotiation before taking the action defined by the ipx ipxwan error command. It can be a value from |
IPXWAN is disabled.
If you enable IPXWAN, the default is unnumbered.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The unnumbered keyword and retry-interval argument first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
If you omit all optional arguments and keywords, the ipx ipxwan command defaults to ipx ipxwan 0 unnumbered router-name (which is equivalent to ipx ipxwan 0 local-server-name), where router-name is the name of the router as configured with the hostname global configuration command. For this configuration, the show ipx interface command displays ipx ipxwan 0 0 local-server-name.
If you enter a value of 0 for the network-number argument, the output of the show running-config EXEC command does not show the 0 but rather reports this value as "unnumbered."
The name of each device on each side of the link must be different.
To enable the IPXWAN protocol on a serial interface, you must not have configured an IPX network number (using the ipx network interface configuration command) on that interface.
To control the delay on a link, use the ipx delay interface configuration command. If you issue this command when the serial link is already up, the state of the link will be reset and renegotiated.
The following example enables IPXWAN on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
encapsulation ppp
ipx ipxwan
The following example enables IPXWAN on serial interface 1 on device CHICAGO-AS. When the link comes up, CHICAGO-AS will be the master because it has a larger internal network number. It will give the IPX number 100 to NYC-AS to use as the network number for the link. The link delay, in ticks, will be determined by the exchange of packets between the two access servers.
On the local access server (CHICAGO-AS):
interface serial 1
no ipx network

To define how to handle IPXWAN when IPX fails to negotiate properly at link startup, use the ipx ipxwan error interface configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
ipx ipxwan error [reset | resume | shutdown]
reset | (Optional) Resets the link when negotiations fail. This is the default action. |
resume | (Optional) When negotiations fail, IPXWAN ignores the failure, takes no special action, and resumes the start-up negotiation attempt. |
shutdown | (Optional) Shuts down the link when negotiations fail. |
The link is reset.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Use the ipx ipxwan error command to define what action to take if the IPXWAN startup negotiation fails.
In the following example, the serial link will be shut down if the IPXWAN startup negotiation fails after three attempts spaced 20 seconds apart:
interface serial 0
encapsulation ppp
ipx ipxwan
ipx ipxwan error shutdown
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To negotiate static routes on a link configured for IPXWAN, use the ipx ipxwan static interface configuration command. To disable static route negotiation, use the no form of this command.
ipx ipxwan staticThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Static routing is disabled.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
When you specify the ipx ipxwan static command, the interface negotiates static routing on the link. If the router at the other side of the link is not configured to negotiate for static routing, the link will not initialize.
The following example enables static routing with IPXWAN:
interface serial 0
encapsulation ppp

To specify the link delay, use the ipx link-delay interface configuration command. To return to the default link delay, use the no form of this command.
ipx link-delay microseconds
microseconds | Delay, in microseconds. |
No link delay (delay of 0)
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The link delay you specify replaces the default value or overrides the value measured by IPXWAN when it starts. The value is also supplied to NLSP for use in metric calculations.
The following example sets the link delay to 20 microseconds:
ipx link-delay 20

To enable the sending of a general RIP and/or SAP query when an interface comes up, use the
ipx linkup-request interface configuration command. To disable the sending of a general RIP and/or SAP query when an interface comes up, use the no form of this command.
rip | Enables the sending of a general RIP query when an interface comes up. |
sap | Enables the sending of a general SAP query when an interface comes up. |
General RIP and SAP queries are sent.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
Under normal operation, when using serial or other point-to-point links, the router sends RIP and SAP information twice when an interface comes up. The RIP and SAP information is sent as soon as the link is up and is sent again when the router receives a general RIP query from the other end of the connection. By disabling the ipx linkup-request command, the router sends the RIP and SAP information once, instead of twice.
The following example configures the router to disable the general query for both RIP and SAP on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
no ipx linkup-request rip
no ipx linkup-request sap

To set the maximum hop count allowed for IPX packets, use the ipx maximum-hop global configuration command. To return to the default number of hops, use the no form of this command.
ipx maximum-hops hops
hops | Maximum number of hops considered to be reachable by non-RIP routing protocols. Also, maximum number of routers that an IPX packet can traverse before being dropped. It can be a value from 16 to 254. The default is 16 hops. |
16 hops
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Packets whose hop count is equal to or greater than that specified by the ipx maximum-hops command are dropped.
In periodic RIP updates, the Cisco IOS software never advertises any network with a hop count greater than 15. However, using protocols other than RIP, the software might learn routes that are farther away than 15 hops. The ipx maximum-hops command defines the maximum number of hops that the software will accept as reachable, as well as the maximum number of hops that an IPX packet can traverse before it is dropped by the software. Also, the software will respond to a specific RIP request for a network that is reachable at a distance of greater than 15 hops.
The following command configures the software to accept routes that are up to 64 hops away:
ipx maximum-hops 64
To set the maximum number of equal-cost paths the Cisco IOS software uses when forwarding packets, use the ipx maximum-paths global configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx maximum-paths paths
paths | Maximum number of equal-cost paths which the Cisco IOS software will use. It can be a number from 1 to 512. The default value is 1. |
1 path
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx maximum-paths command increases throughput by allowing the software to choose among several equal-cost, parallel paths. (Note that when paths have differing costs, the software chooses lower-cost routes in preference to higher-cost routes.)
When per-host load sharing is disabled, IPX performs load sharing on a packet-by-packet basis in round-robin fashion, regardless of whether you are using fast switching or process switching. That is, the first packet is sent along the first path, the second packet along the second path, and so on. When the final path is reached, the next packet is sent to the first path, the next to the second path, and so on.
Limiting the number of equal-cost paths can save memory on routers with limited memory or with very large configurations. Additionally, in networks with a large number of multiple paths and systems with limited ability to cache out-of-sequence packets, performance might suffer when traffic is split between many paths.
When you enable per-host load sharing, IPX performs load sharing by transmitting traffic across multiple, equal-cost paths while guaranteeing that packets for a given end host always take the same path. Per-host load sharing decreases the possibility that successive packets to a given end host will arrive out of order.
With per-host load balancing, the number of equal-cost paths set by the ipx maximum-paths command must be greater than one; otherwise, per-host load sharing has no effect.
In the following example, the software uses up to three parallel paths:
ipx maximum-paths 3

To enable IPX routing on a particular interface and to optionally select the type of encapsulation (framing), use the ipx network interface configuration command. To disable IPX routing, use the no form of this command.
ipx network network [encapsulation encapsulation-type [secondary]]
IPX routing is disabled.
Encapsulation types:
For Ethernet: novell-ether
For Token Ring: sap
For FDDI: snap
If you use NetWare Version 4.0 and Ethernet, you must change the default encapsulation type from novell-ether to sap.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx network command allows you to configure a single logical network on a physical network or more than one logical network on the same physical network (network cable segment). Each network on a given interface must have a different encapsulation type.
The first network you configure on an interface is considered to be the primary network. Any additional networks are considered to be secondary networks; these must include the secondary keyword.
NLSP does not support secondary networks. You must use subinterfaces in order to use multiple encapsulations with NLSP.
You can configure an IPX network on any supported interface as long as all the networks on the same physical interface use a distinct encapsulation type. For example, you can configure up to four IPX networks on a single Ethernet cable because Ethernet supports four encapsulation types.
The interface processes only packets with the correct encapsulation and the correct network number. IPX networks using other encapsulations can be present on the physical network. The only effect on the router is that it uses some processing time to examine packets to determine whether they have the correct encapsulation.
All logical networks on an interface share the same set of configuration parameters. For example, if you change the IPX RIP update time on an interface, you change it for all networks on that interface.
When you define multiple logical networks on the same physical network, IPX treats each encapsulation as if it were a separate physical network. This means, for example, that IPX sends RIP updates and SAP updates for each logical network.
The ipx network command is useful when migrating from one type of encapsulation to another. If you are using it for this purpose, you should define the new encapsulation on the primary network.
To delete all networks on an interface, use the following command:
no ipx networkDeleting the primary network with the following command also deletes all networks on that interface. The argument number is the number of the primary network.
no ipx network numberTo delete a secondary network on an interface, use one of the following commands. The argument number is the number of a secondary network.
no ipx network numberNovell's FDDI_RAW encapsulation is common in bridged or switched environments that connect Ethernet-based Novell end hosts via a FDDI backbone. Packets with FDDI_RAW encapsulation are classified as Novell packets, and are not automatically bridged when you enable both bridging and IPX routing. Additionally, you cannot configure FDDI_RAW encapsulation on an interface configured for IPX autonomous or SSE switching. Similarly, you cannot enable IPX autonomous or SSE switching on an interface configured with FDDI_RAW encapsulation.
With FDDI_RAW encapsulation, platforms that do not use CBUS architecture support fast switching. Platforms using CBUS architecture support only process switching of novell-fddi packets received on an FDDI interface.
The following example uses subinterfaces to create four logical networks on Ethernet interface 0. Each subinterface has a different encapsulation. Any interface configuration parameters that you specify on an individual subinterface are applied to that subinterface only.
ipx routing
interface ethernet 0
interface ethernet 0.1
ipx network 1 encapsulation novell-ether
interface ethernet 0.2
ipx network 2 encapsulation snap
interface ethernet 0.3
ipx network 3 encapsulation arpa
interface ethernet 0.4
ipx network 4 encapsulation sap
The following example uses primary and secondary networks to create the same four logical networks as shown previously in this section. Any interface configuration parameters that you specify on this interface are applied to all the logical networks. For example, if you set the routing update timer to 120 seconds, this value is used on all four networks.
ipx routing
ipx network 1 encapsulation novell-ether
ipx network 2 encapsulation snap secondary
ipx network 3 encapsulation arpa secondary

To configure the authentication string for an interface using Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP), use the ipx nhrp authentication interface configuration command. To remove the authentication string, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp authentication string
string | Authentication string configured for the source and destination stations that controls whether NHRP stations allow intercommunication. The string can be up to eight characters long. |
No authentication string is configured; the Cisco IOS software adds no authentication option to NHRP packets it generates.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
All routers configured with NHRP on a fabric (for an interface) must share the same authentication string.
In the following example, the authentication string specialxx must be configured in all devices using NHRP on the interface before NHRP communication occurs:
ipx nhrp authentication specialxx
To change the number of seconds that NHRP nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) addresses are advertised as valid in authoritative NHRP responses, use the ipx nhrp holdtime interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp holdtime seconds-positive [seconds-negative]
seconds-positive | Time in seconds that NBMA addresses are advertised as valid in positive authoritative NHRP responses. |
seconds-negative | (Optional) Time in seconds that NBMA addresses are advertised as valid in negative authoritative NHRP responses. |
7200 seconds (2 hours) for both arguments
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The ipx nhrp holdtime command affects authoritative responses only. The advertised holding time is the length of time the Cisco IOS software tells other routers to keep information that it is provided in authoritative NHRP responses. The cached IPX-to-NBMA address mapping entries are discarded after the holding time expires.
The NHRP cache can contain static and dynamic entries. The static entries never expire. Dynamic entries expire regardless of whether they are authoritative or nonauthoritative.
If you want to change the valid time period for negative NHRP responses, you must also include a value for positive NHRP responses, as the arguments are position-dependent.
In the following example, NHRP NBMA addresses are advertised as valid in positive authoritative NHRP responses for one hour:
ipx nhrp holdtime 3600
In the following example, NHRP NBMA addresses are advertised as valid in negative authoritative NHRP responses for one hour and in positive authoritative NHRP responses for two hours:
ipx nhrp holdtime 7200 3600
To control which IPX packets can trigger sending a Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) Request, use the ipx nhrp interest interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp interest access-list-number
access-list-number | Standard or extended IPX access list number from 800 through 999. |
All non-NHRP packets can trigger NHRP requests.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
Use this command with the access-list command to control which IPX packets trigger NHRP Requests.
In the following example, any NetBIOS traffic can cause NHRP requests to be sent, but no other IPX packets will cause NHRP requests:
ipx nhrp interest 901
access-list 901 permit 20

To statically configure the IPX-to-NBMA address mapping of IPX destinations connected to a nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) network, use the ipx nhrp map interface configuration command. To remove the static entry from NHRP cache, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp map ipx-address nbma-address
ipx-address | IPX address of the destinations reachable through the NBMA network. This address is mapped to the NBMA address. |
nbma-address | NBMA address that is directly reachable through the NBMA network. The address format varies depending on the medium you are using. For example, ATM has a network-service access point (NSAP) address, and SMDS has an E.164 address. This address is mapped to the IPX address. |
No static IPX-to-NBMA cache entries exist.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
You will probably have to configure at least one static mapping in order to reach the Next Hop Server. Repeat this command to statically configure multiple IPX-to-NBMA address mappings.
In the following example, this station in an SMDS network is statically configured to be served by two Next Hop Servers 1.0000.0c14.59ef and 1.0000.0c14.59d0. The NBMA address for 1.0000.0c14.59ef is statically configured to be c141.0001.0001 and the NBMA address for 1.0000.0c14.59d0 is c141.0001.0002.

You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To change the maximum frequency at which NHRP packets can be sent, use the ipx nhrp max-send interface configuration command. To restore this frequency to the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp max-send pkt-count every interval
pkt-count | Number of packets which can be transmitted in the range 1 to 65535. |
interval | Time (in seconds) in the range 10 to 65535. |
pkt-count = 5 packets
interval = 10 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The software maintains a per interface quota of NHRP packets that can be transmitted. NHRP traffic, whether locally generated, or forwarded, cannot be sent at a rate that exceeds this quota. The quota is replenished at the rate specified by interval.
In the following example, only one NHRP packet can be sent out serial interface 0 each minute:
interface serial 0
ipx nhrp max-send 1 every 60
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To enable the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) on an interface, use the ipx nhrp network-id interface configuration command. To disable NHRP on the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp network-id number
number | Globally unique, 32-bit network identifier for a nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) network. The range is 1 to 4294967295. |
NHRP is disabled on the interface.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
In general, all NHRP stations within a fabric must be configured with the same network identifier.
The following example enables NHRP on the interface:
ipx nhrp network-id 1
To specify the address of one or more NHRP Next Hop Servers, use the ipx nhrp nhs interface configuration command. To remove the address, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp nhs nhs-address [net-address]
nhs-address | Address of the Next Hop Server being specified. |
net-address | (Optional) IPX address of a network served by the Next Hop Server. |
No Next Hop Servers are explicitly configured, so normal network layer routing decisions forward NHRP traffic.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
Use this command to specify the address of a Next Hop Server and the networks it serves. Normally, NHRP consults the network layer forwarding table to determine how to forward NHRP packets. When Next Hop Servers are configured, the next hop addresses specified with the ipx nhrp nhs command override the forwarding path specified by the network layer forwarding table that would usually be used for NHRP traffic.
For any Next Hop Server that is configured, you can specify multiple networks that it serves by repeating this command with the same nhs-address address, but different net-address IPX network numbers.
In the following example, the Next Hop Server with address 1.0000.0c00.1234 serves IPX network 2:
ipx nhrp nhs 1.0000.0c00.1234 2
To re-enable the use of forward record and reverse record options in NHRP Request and Reply packets, use the ipx nhrp record interface configuration command. To suppress the use of such options, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp recordThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Forward record and reverse record options are enabled by default.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
Forward record and reverse record options provide loop detection and are used in NHRP Request and Reply packets. Using the no form of this command disables this method of loop detection. For another method of loop detection, see the ipx nhrp responder command.
The following example suppresses forward record and reverse record options:
no ipx nhrp record
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To designate which interface's primary IPX address that the Next Hop Server uses in NHRP Reply packets when the NHRP requestor uses the Responder Address option, use the ipx nhrp responder interface configuration command. To remove the designation, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp responder type number
type | Interface type whose primary IPX address is used when a Next Hop Server complies with a Responder Address option. Valid options are atm, serial, and tunnel. |
number | Interface number whose primary IPX address is used when a Next Hop Server complies with a Responder Address option. |
The Next Hop Server uses the IPX address of the interface where the NHRP Request was received.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
If an NHRP requestor wants to know which Next Hop Server generates an NHRP Reply packet, it can request that information through the Responder Address option. The Next Hop Server that generates the NHRP Reply packet then complies by inserting its own IPX address in the Responder Address option of the NHRP Reply. The Next Hop Server uses the primary IPX address of the specified interface.
If an NHRP Reply packet being forwarded by a Next Hop Server contains that Next Hop Server's own IPX address, the Next Hop Server generates an Error Indication of type "NHRP Loop Detected" and discards the Reply.
In the following example, any NHRP requests for the Responder Address will cause this router acting as a Next Hop Server to supply the primary IPX address of interface serial 0 in the NHRP Reply packet:
ipx nhrp responder serial 0
To configure the software so that NHRP is deferred until the system has attempted to send data traffic to a particular destination multiple times, use the ipx nhrp use interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nhrp use usage-count
usage-count | Packet count in the range 1 to 65535. |
usage-count = 1. The first time a data packet is sent to a destination for which the system determines NHRP can be used, an NHRP request is sent.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
When the software attempts to transmit a data packet to a destination for which it has determined that NHRP address resolution can be used, an NHRP request for that destination is normally transmitted right away. Configuring the usage-count causes the system to wait until that many data packets have been sent to a particular destination before it attempts NHRP. The usage-count for a particular destination is measured over 1-minute intervals (the NHRP cache expiration interval).
The usage-count applies per destination. So if usage-count is configured to be 3, and 4 data packets are sent toward 10.0.0.1 and 1 packet toward 10.0.0.2, then an NHRP request is generated for 10.0.0.1 only.
If the system continues to need to forward data packets to a particular destination, but no NHRP response has been received, retransmission of NHRP requests are performed. This retransmission occurs only if data traffic continues to be sent to a destination.
The ipx nhrp interest command controls which packets cause NHRP address resolution to take place; the ipx nhrp use command controls how readily the system attempts such address resolution.
In the following example, if in the first minute four packets are sent to one IPX address and five packets are sent to a second IPX address, then a single NHRP request is generated for the second IPX address. If in the second minute the same traffic is generated and no NHRP responses have been received, then the system retransmits its request for the second IPX address.

To configure the NLSP complete sequence number PDU (CSNP) interval, use the ipx nlsp csnp-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] csnp-interval seconds
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
seconds | Time, in seconds, between the transmission of CSNPs on multiaccess networks. This interval applies to the designated router only. The interval can be a number in the range 1 to 600. The default is 30 seconds. |
30 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The ipx nlsp csnp-interval command applies only to the designated router for the specified interface only. This is because only designated routers send CSNP packets, which are used to synchronize the database.
CSNP does not apply to serial point-to-point interfaces. However, it does apply to WAN connections if the WAN is viewed as a multiaccess meshed network.
The following example configures Ethernet interface 0 to transmit CSNPs every 10 seconds:
interface ethernet 0

To enable NLSP routing on the primary network configured on this interface or subinterface, use the ipx nlsp enable interface configuration command. To disable NLSP routing on the primary network configured on this interface or subinterface, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] enable
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
NLSP is disabled on all interfaces.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
When you enable NLSP routing, the current settings for RIP and SAP compatibility modes as specified with the ipx nlsp rip and ipx nlsp sap interface configuration commands take effect automatically.
When you specify an NLSP tag, the router enables NLSP on the specified process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
Configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.
The following example enables NLSP routing on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet 0
ipx nlsp enable
The following example enables NLSP routing on serial interface 0:

To configure the interval between the transmission of hello packets, use the ipx nlsp hello-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] hello-interval seconds
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
seconds | Time, in seconds, between the transmission of hello packets on the interface. It can be a number in the range 1 to 1600. The default is 10 seconds for the designated router and 20 seconds for nondesignated routers. |
10 seconds for the designated router
20 seconds for nondesignated routers
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The designated router sends hello packets at an interval equal to one-half the configured value.
Use this command to improve the speed at which a failed router or link is detected. A router is declared to be down if a hello has not been received from it for the time determined by the holding time (the hello interval multiplied by the holding time multiplier; by default, 60 seconds for nondesignated routers and 30 seconds for designated routers). You can reduce this time by lowering the hello-interval setting, at the cost of increased traffic overhead.
You may also use this command to reduce link overhead on very slow links by raising the hello interval. This will reduce the traffic on the link at the cost of increasing the time required to detect a failed router or link.
The following example configures serial interface 0 to transmit hello packets every 30 seconds:
interface serial 0

ipx nlsp [tag] hello-multiplier multiplier
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
multiplier | Value by which to multiply the hello interval. It can be a number in the range 3 to 1000. The default is 3. |
The default multiplier is 3.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
You use the hello modifier in conjunction with the hello interval to determine the holding time value sent in a hello packet. The holding time is equal to the hello interval multiplied by the hello multiplier.
The holding time tells the neighboring router how long to wait for another hello packet from the sending router. If the neighboring router does not receive another hello packet in the specified time, then the neighboring router declares that the sending router is down.
You can use this method of determining the holding time when hello packets are lost with some frequency and NLSP adjacencies are failing unnecessarily. You raise the hello multiplier and lower the hello interval correspondingly to make the hello protocol more reliable without increasing the time required to detect a link failure.
In the following example, serial interface 0 will advertise hello packets every 15 seconds. The multiplier is 5. These values determine that the hello packet holding time is 75 seconds.
interface serial 0
ipx nlsp hello-interval 15
ipx nlsp hello-multiplier 5

This command allows you to control how fast LSPs can be flooded out an interface.
In topologies with a large number of NLSP neighbors and interfaces, a router may have difficulty with the CPU load imposed by LSP transmission and reception. This command allows you to reduce the LSP transmission rate (and by implication the reception rate of other systems).
The following example causes the system to transmit LSPs every 100 milliseconds (10 packets per second) on Ethernet interface 0:
interface Ethernet 0
ipx nlsp lsp-interval 100
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure the NLSP cost for an interface, use the ipx nlsp metric interface configuration command. To restore the default cost, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] metric metric-number
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
metric-number | Metric value for the interface. It can be a number from 0 to 63. |
The default varies based on the throughput of the link connected to the interface.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Use the ipx nlsp metric command to cause NLSP to prefer some links over others. A link with a lower metric is more preferable than one with a higher metric.
Typically, it is not necessary to configure the metric; however, it may be desirable in some cases when there are wide differences in link bandwidths. For example, using the default metrics, a single 64-kbps ISDN link will be preferable to two 1544-kbps T1 links.
The following example configures a metric of 10 on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
ipx network 107
ipx nlsp enable
ipx nlsp metric 10
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure an interface to use multicast addressing, use the ipx nlsp multicast interface configuration command. To configure the interface to use broadcast addressing, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] multicast
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
Multicast addressing is enabled.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
This command allows the router interface to use NLSP multicast addressing. If an adjacent neighbor does not support NLSP multicast addressing, the router will revert to using broadcasts on the affected interface.
The router will also revert to using broadcasts if multicast addressing is not supported by the hardware or driver.
The following example disables multicast addressing on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet0
no ipx nlsp multicast
To configure the election priority of the specified interface for designated router election, use the ipx nlsp priority interface configuration command. To restore the default priority, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] priority priority-number
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
priority-number | Election priority of the designated router for the specified interface. This can be a number in the range 0 to 127. This value is unitless. The default is 44. |
44
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Use the ipx nlsp priority command to control which router is elected designated router. The device with the highest priority number is selected as the designated router.
The designated router increases its own priority by 20 in order to keep its state as of the designated router more stable. To have a particular router be selected as the designated router, configure its priority to be at least 65.
The following example sets the designated router election priority to 65:
interface ethernet 0
ipx network 101
ipx nlsp enable
ipx nlsp priority 65
To configure the link-state packet (LSP) retransmission interval on WAN links, use the ipx nlsp retransmit-interval interface configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] retransmit-interval seconds
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
seconds | LSP retransmission interval, in seconds. This can be a number in the range 1 to 30. The default is 5 seconds. |
5 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
This command sets the maximum amount of time that can pass before an LSP will be sent again (retransmitted) on a WAN link, if no acknowledgment is received.
Reducing the retransmission interval can improve the convergence rate of the network in the face of lost WAN links. The cost of reducing the retransmission interval is the potential increase in link utilization.
The following example configures the LSP retransmission interval to 2 seconds:
ipx nlsp retransmit-interval 2
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
ipx nlsp csnp-interval

To configure RIP compatibility when NLSP is enabled, use the ipx nlsp rip interface configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] rip [on | off | auto]
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
on | (Optional) Always generates and sends RIP periodic traffic. |
off | (Optional) Never generates and sends RIP periodic traffic. |
auto | (Optional) Sends RIP periodic traffic only if another RIP router in sending periodic RIP traffic. This is the default. |
RIP periodic traffic is sent only if another router in sending periodic RIP traffic.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The ipx nlsp rip command is meaningful only on networks on which NLSP is enabled. (RIP and SAP are always on by default on other interfaces.) Because the default mode is auto, no action is normally required to fully support RIP compatibility on an NLSP network.
In the following example, the interface never generates or sends RIP periodic traffic:
interface ethernet 0
ipx nlsp rip off
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure SAP compatibility when NLSP in enabled, use the ipx nlsp sap interface configuration command. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
ipx nlsp [tag] sap [on | off | auto]
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
on | (Optional) Always generates and sends SAP periodic traffic. |
off | (Optional) Never generates and sends SAP periodic traffic. |
auto | (Optional) Sends SAP periodic traffic only if another SAP router in sending periodic SAP traffic. This is the default. |
SAP periodic traffic is sent only if another router in sending periodic SAP traffic.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The ipx nlsp sap command is meaningful only on networks on which NLSP is enabled. Because the default mode is auto, no action is normally required to fully support SAP compatibility on an NLSP network.
In the following example, the interface never generates or sends SAP periodic traffic:
interface ethernet 0
ipx nlsp sap off
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To control which servers are included in the Get Nearest Server (GNS) responses sent by the Cisco IOS software, use the ipx output-gns-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter from the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx output-gns-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the SAP access list. All outgoing GNS packets are filtered by the entries in this access list. The argument access-list-number is a number from 1000 to 1099. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and they must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No filters are predefined.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
You can issue only one ipx output-gns-filter command on each interface.
The following example excludes the server at address 3c.0800.89a1.1527 from GNS responses sent on Ethernet interface 0, but allows all other servers:
access-list 1000 deny 3c.0800.89a1.1527

To control the list of networks included in routing updates sent out an interface, use the ipx output-network-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter from the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx output-network-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the access list. All outgoing packets defined with either standard or extended access lists are filtered by the entries in this access list. For standard access lists, access-list-number is a number from 800 to 899. For extended access lists, it is a number from 900 to 999. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and they must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No filters are predefined.

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx output-network-filter command controls which networks the Cisco IOS software advertises in its IPX routing updates (RIP updates).
You can issue only one ipx output-network-filter command on each interface.
In the following example, access list 896 controls which networks are specified in routing updates sent out the serial 1 interface. This configuration causes network 2b to be the only network advertised in Novell routing updates sent on the specified serial interface.

To set the interpacket delay for RIP updates sent on a single interface, use the ipx output-rip-delay interface configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx output-rip-delay delay
delay | Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update. The default delay is 55 ms. Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms. |
55 ms
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet routing update. The ipx output-rip-delay command sets the interpacket delay for a single interface.
The system uses the interpacket delay specified by the ipx output-rip-delay command for periodic and triggered routing updates when no delay is set for triggered routing updates. When you set a delay for triggered routing updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-rip-delay command for only the periodic routing updates sent on the interface.
To set a delay for triggered routing updates, see the ipx triggered-rip-delay or ipx default-triggered-rip-delay commands.
You can also set a default RIP interpacket delay for all interfaces. See the ipx default-output-rip-delay command for more information.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX machines. These machines may lose RIP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by this command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these IPX machines.
The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.
This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.
The following example establishes a 55-ms interpacket delay on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
ipx network 106A
ipx output-rip-delay 55

To set the interpacket delay for Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) updates sent on a single interface, use the ipx output-sap-delay interface configuration command. To return to the default delay value, use the no form of this command.
ipx output-sap-delay delay
delay | Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet SAP update. The default delay is 55 ms. Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms. |
55 ms
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet SAP update. The ipx output-sap-delay command sets the interpacket delay for a single interface.
The system uses the interpacket delay specified by the ipx output-sap-delay command for periodic and triggered SAP updates when no delay is set for triggered updates. When you set a delay for triggered updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-sap-delay command only for the periodic updates sent on the interface.
To set a delay for triggered updates, see the ipx triggered-sap-delay or ipx default-triggered-sap-delay commands.
You can also set a default SAP interpacket delay for all interfaces. See the ipx default-output-sap-delay command for more information.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX servers. These servers may lose SAP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by the ipx output-sap-delay command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these servers.
The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.
This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.

To control which services are included in SAP updates sent by the Cisco IOS software, use the ipx output-network-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter, use the no form of this command.
ipx output-sap-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the SAP access list. All outgoing service advertisements are filtered by the entries in this access list. The argument access-list-number is a number from 1000 to 1099. |
name | Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists. |
No filters are predefined.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The Cisco IOS software applies output SAP filters prior to sending SAP packets.
You can issue only one ipx output-sap-filter command on each interface.
When configuring SAP filters for NetWare 3.11 and later servers, use the server's internal network and node number (the node number is always 0000.0000.0001) as its address in the SAP access-list command. Do not use the network.node address of the particular interface board.
The following example denies service advertisements about server 0000.0000.0001 on network aa from being sent on network 4d (via Ethernet interface 1). All other services are advertised via this network. All services, included those from server aa.0000.0000.0001, are advertised via networks 3c and 2b.

To control whether odd-length packets are padded so as to be sent as even-length packets on an interface, use the ipx pad-process-switched-packets interface configuration command. To disable padding, use the no form of this command.
ipx pad-process-switched-packetsThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Enabled on Ethernet interfaces
Disabled on Token Ring, FDDI, and serial interfaces
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Use this command only under the guidance of a customer engineer or other service representative.
The ipx pad-process-switched-packets command affects process-switched packets only, so you must disable fast switching before the ipx pad-process-switched-packets command has any effect.
Some IPX end hosts reject Ethernet packets that are not padded. Certain topologies can result in such packets being forwarded onto a remote Ethernet network. Under specific conditions, padding on intermediate media can be used as a temporary workaround for this problem.
The following example configures the Cisco IOS software to pad odd-length packets so that they are sent as even-length packets on FDDI interface 1.
interface fddi 1
ipx network 2A
no ipx route-cache

To enable per-host load sharing, use the ipx per-host-load-share global configuration command. To disable per-host load sharing, use the no form of the command.
ipx per-host-load-shareThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
Use this command to enable per-host load sharing. Per-host load sharing transmits traffic across multiple, equal-cost paths while guaranteeing that packets for a given end host always take the same path.
When you do not enable per-host load sharing, the software uses a round-robin algorithm to accomplish load sharing. Round-robin load sharing transmits successive packets over alternate, equal-cost paths, regardless of the destination host. With round-robin load sharing, successive packets destined for the same end host might take different paths. Thus, round-robin load sharing increases the possibility that successive packets to a given end host might arrive out of order or be dropped, but ensures true load balancing of a given workload across multiple links.
In contrast, per-host load sharing decreases the possibility that successive packets to a given end host will arrive out of order; but, there is a potential decrease in true load balancing across multiple links. True load sharing occurs only when different end hosts utilize different paths; equal link utilization cannot be guaranteed.
With per-host load balancing, the number of equal-cost paths set by the ipx maximum-paths command must be greater than one; otherwise, per-host load sharing has no effect.
The following command globally enables per-host load sharing:
ipx per-host-load share

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The maximum size is for the IPX packet including the IPX network and RIP header information.
Do not allow the maximum packet size to exceed the allowed maximum size of packets for the interface.
The following example sets the maximum RIP update packet to 832 bytes:
ipx rip-max-packetsize 832
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure the interval at which a network's RIP entry ages out, use the ipx rip-multiplier interface configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
ipx rip-multiplier multiplier
multiplier | Multiplier used to calculate the interval at which to age out RIP routing table entries. This can be any positive number. The value you specify is multiplied by the RIP update interval to determine the aging-out interval. The default is three times the RIP update interval. |
Three times the RIP update interval
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
All routers on the same physical cable should use the same multiplier value.
In the following example, in a configuration where RIP updates are sent once every 2 minutes, the interval at which RIP entries age out is set to 10 minutes:
interface ethernet 0
ipx rip-multiplier 5
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To add a static route or static NLSP route summary to the routing table, use the ipx route global configuration command. To remove a route from the routing table, use the no form of this command.
ipx route {network [network-mask] | default} {network.node | interface} [ticks] [hops]
network | Network to which you want to establish a static route. This is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. |
network-mask | (Optional) Specifies the portion of the network address that is common to all addresses in an NLSP route summary. When used with the network argument, it specifies the static route summary. The high-order bits of network-mask must be contiguous Fs, while the low-order bits must be contiguous zeros (0). An arbitrary mix of Fs and 0s is not permitted. |
default | Creates a static entry for the "default route." The router forwards all nonlocal packets for which no explicit route is known via the specified next hop address (network.node) or interface. |
network.node | Router to which to forward packets destined for the specified network. The argument network is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA, you can enter AA. The argument node is the node number of the target router. This is a 48-bit value represented by a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). |
interface | Network interface to which to forward packets destined for the specified network. Interface is serial 0 or serial 0.2. Specifying an interface instead of a network node is intended for use on IPXWAN unnumbered interfaces. The specified interface can be a null interface. |
ticks | (Optional) Number of IBM clock ticks of delay to the network for which you are establishing a static route. One clock tick is 1/18 of a second (approximately 55 ms). Valid values are 1 through 65534. |
hops | (Optional) Number of hops to the network for which you are establishing a static route. Valid values are 1 through 254. |
floating-static | (Optional) Specifies that this route is a floating static route, which is a static route that can be overridden by a dynamically learned route. |
No static routes are predefined.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The following arguments and keywords first appeared in Cisco IOS 10.3: network-mask, default, interface, floating-static.
The ipx route command forwards packets destined for the specified network (network) via the specified router (network.node) or an interface (interface) on that network regardless of whether that router is sending dynamic routing information.
Floating static routes are static routes that can be overridden by dynamically learned routes. Floating static routes allow you to switch to another path whenever routing information for a destination is lost. One application of floating static routes is to provide back-up routes in topologies where dial-on-demand routing is used.
If you configure a floating static route, the Cisco IOS software checks to see if an entry for the route already exists in its routing table. If a dynamic route already exists, the floating static route is placed in reserve as part of a floating static route table. When the software detects that the dynamic route is no longer available, it replaces the dynamic route with the floating static route for that destination. If the route is later relearned dynamically, the dynamic route replaces the floating static route and the floating static route is again placed in reserve.
If you specify an interface instead of a network node address, the interface must be an IPXWAN unnumbered interface. For IPXWAN interfaces, the network number need not be preassigned; instead, the nodes may negotiate the network number dynamically.
Note that by default, floating static routes are not redistributed into other dynamic protocols.
In the following example, a router at address 3abc.0000.0c00.1ac9 handles all traffic destined for network 5e:
ipx routing
ipx route 5e 3abc.0000.0c00.1ac9
The following example defines a static NLSP route summary:

To enable IPX fast switching, use the ipx route-cache interface configuration command. To disable fast switching, use the no form of this command.
ipx route-cacheThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Fast switching is enabled.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Fast switching allows higher throughput by switching packets using a cache created by previous transit packets. Fast switching is enabled by default on all interfaces that support fast switching, including Token Ring, Frame Relay, PPP, SMDS, and ATM.
On ciscoBus-2 interface cards, fast switching is done between all encapsulation types. On other interface cards, fast switching is done in all cases except the following: transfer of packets with sap encapsulation from an Ethernet, a Token Ring, or an FDDI network to a standard serial line.
You might want to disable fast switching in two situations. One is if you want to save memory on the interface cards: fast-switching caches require more memory than those used for standard switching. The second situation is to avoid congestion on interface cards when a high-bandwidth interface is writing large amounts of information to a low-bandwidth interface.
The following example enables fast switching:
interface ethernet 0
ipx route-cache
In the following example, fast switching is turned off on an interface:

To adjust the period and rate of route cache invalidation because of inactivity, use the ipx route-cache inactivity-timeout global configuration command. To return to the default values, use the no form of this command.
ipx route-cache inactivity-timeout period [rate]
period | Number of minutes that a valid cache entry may be inactive before it is invalidated. Valid values are 0 through 65535. A value of zero disables this feature. |
rate | (Optional) The maximum number of inactive entries that may be invalidated per minute. Valid values are 0 through 65535. A value of zero means no limit. |
The default period is 2 minutes. The default rate is 0 (cache entries do not age).
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
IPX fast-switch cache entries that are not in use may be invalidated after a configurable period of time. If no new activity occurs, these entries will be purged from the route cache after one additional minute.
Cache entries that have been uploaded to the switch processor when autonomous switching is configured are always exempt from this treatment.
This command has no effect if silicon switching is configured.
The following example sets the inactivity period to 5 minutes, and sets a maximum of 10 entries that can be invalidated per minute:
ipx route-cache inactivity-timeout 5 10

To set a maximum limit on the number of entries in the IPX route cache, use the ipx route-cache max-size global configuration command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
ipx route-cache max-size size
size | Maximum number of entries allowed in the IPX route cache. |
The default setting is no limit on the number of entries.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
On large networks, storing too many entries in the route cache can use a significant amount of router memory, causing router processing to slow. This situation is most common on large networks that run network management applications for NetWare. If the network management station is responsible for managing all clients and servers in a very large (greater than 50,000 nodes) Novell network, the routers on the local segment can become inundated with route cache entries. The ipx route-cache max-size command allows you to set a maximum number of entries for the route cache.
If the route cache already has more entries than the specified limit, the extra entries are not deleted. However, all route cache entries are subject to being removed via the parameter set for route cache aging via the ipx route-cache inactivity-timeout command.
The following example sets the maximum route cache size to 10,000 entries.
ipx route-cache max-size 10000

To adjust the period and rate of route cache invalidation because of aging, use the ipx route-cache update-timeout global configuration command. To return to the default values, use the no form of this command.
ipx route-cache update-timeout period [rate]
period | Number of minutes since a valid cache entry was created before it may be invalidated. A value of zero disables this feature. |
rate | (Optional) The maximum number of aged entries that may be invalidated per minute. A value of zero means no limit. |
The default setting is disabled.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
IPX fast-switch cache entries that exceed a minimum age may be invalidated after a configurable period of time. Invalidation occurs unless the cache entry was marked as active during the last minute. Following invalidation, if no new activity occurs, these entries will be purged from the route cache after one additional minute.
This capability is primarily useful when autonomous switching or silicon switching is enabled. In both cases, activity is not recorded for entries in the route cache, because data is being switched by the Switch Processor (SP) or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP). In this case, it may be desirable to periodically invalidate a limited number of older cache entries each minute.
If the end hosts have become inactive, the cache entries will be purged after one additional minute. If the end hosts are still active, the route cache and autonomous or SSP cache entries will be revalidated instead of being purged.
The following example sets the update timeout period to 5 minutes and sets a maximum of 10 entries that can be invalidated per minute:
ipx route-cache update-timeout 5 10

Enables the Enhanced IGRP routing protocol. The argument autonomous-system-number is the Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number from 1 to 65535. | |
nlsp [tag] | Enables the NLSP routing protocol. The optional argument tag names the NLSP process to which you are assigning the NLSP protocol. If the router has only one process, defining a tag is optional. A maximum of three NLSP processes may be configured on the router at the same time. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
Enables the RIP routing protocol. It is on by default. |
RIP is enabled.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0. The nlsp keyword and tag argument first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
You must explicitly disable RIP by issuing the no ipx router rip command if you do not want to use this routing protocol.
You can configure multiple Enhanced IGRP processes on a router. To do so, assign each a different autonomous system number.
When you specify an NLSP tag, you configure the NLSP routing protocol for a particular NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
Configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.
The following example enables Enhanced IGRP:
ipx router eigrp 4
The following example enables NLSP on process area1. This process handles routing for NLSP area 1.
ipx router nlsp area1

To filter the routers from which packets are accepted, use the ipx router-filter interface configuration command. To remove the filter from the interface, use the no form of this command.
ipx router-filter {access-list-number | name}
access-list-number | Number of the access list. All incoming packets defined with either standard or extended access lists are filtered by the entries in this access list. For standard access lists, access-list-number is a number from 800 to 899. For extended access lists, it is a number from 900 to 999. |

To enable IPX routing, use the ipx routing global configuration command. To disable IPX routing, use the no form of this command.
ipx routing [node]
node | (Optional) Node number of the router. This is a 48-bit value represented by a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). It must not be a multicast address. If you omit node, the Cisco IOS software uses the hardware MAC address currently assigned to it as its node address. This is the MAC address of the first Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI interface card. If no satisfactory interfaces are present in the router (such as only serial interfaces), you must specify node. |
Disabled
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx routing command enables IPX Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) services.
If you omit the argument node and if the MAC address later changes, the IPX node address automatically changes to the new address. However, connectivity may be lost between the time that the MAC address changes and the time that the IPX clients and servers learn the router's new address.
If you plan to use DECnet and IPX routing concurrently on the same interface, you should enable DECnet router first, then enable IPX routing without specifying the optional MAC node number. If you enable IPX before enabling DECnet routing, routing for IPX will be disrupted.
The following example enables IPX routing:
ipx routing

To specify static Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) entries, use the ipx sap global configuration command. To remove static SAP entries, use the no form of this command.
ipx sap service-type name network.node socket hop-count
service-type | SAP service-type number. Table 47 earlier in this chapter lists some IPX SAP services. |
name | Name of the server that provides the service. |
network.node | Network number and node address of the server. The argument network is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA you can enter AA. The argument node is the node number of the target Novell server. This is a 48-bit value represented by a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). |
socket | Socket number for this service. Table 45 earlier in this chapter lists some IPX socket numbers. |
hop-count | Number of hops to the server. |
Disabled
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The ipx sap command allows you to add static entries into the SAP table. Each entry has a SAP service associated with it. Static SAP assignments always override any identical entries in the SAP table that are learned dynamically, regardless of hop count. The router will not announce a static SAP entry unless it has a route to that network.
In the following example, the route to JOES_SERVER is not yet learned, so the system displays an informational message. The JOES_SERVER service will not be announced in the regular SAP updates until the Cisco IOS software learns the route to it either by means of a RIP update from a neighbor or an ipx sap command.
ipx sap 107 MAILSERV 160.0000.0c01.2b72 8104 1
ipx sap 4 FILESERV 165.0000.0c01.3d1b 451 1

To send Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) updates only when a change occurs in the SAP table, use the ipx sap-incremental interface configuration command. To send periodic SAP updates, use the no form of this command.
ipx sap-incremental eigrp autonomous-system-number [rsup-only]
eigrp autonomous-system-number | IPX Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number from 1 to 65535. |
rsup-only | (Optional) Indicates that the system uses Enhanced IGRP on this interface to carry reliable SAP update information only. RIP routing updates are used, and Enhanced IGRP routing updates are ignored. |
Enabled on serial interfaces
Disabled on LAN media (Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI)
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
To use the ipx sap-incremental command, you must enable Enhanced IGRP. This is the case even if you want to use only RIP routing. You must do this because the incremental SAP feature requires the Enhanced IGRP reliable transport mechanisms.
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 device 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 take advantage of Enhanced IGRP's incremental SAP update mechanism while using the RIP routing protocol instead of the Enhanced IGRP routing protocol, specify the rsup-only keyword. SAP updates are then sent only when changes occur, and only changes are sent. Use this feature only when you want to use RIP routing; Cisco IOS software disables the exchange of route information via Enhanced IGRP for that interface.
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
To configure the maximum packet size of Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) updates sent out the interface, use the ipx sap-max-packetsize interface configuration command. To restore the default packet size, use the no form of this command.
ipx sap-max-packetsize bytes
bytes | Maximum packet size in bytes. The default is 480 bytes, which allows for 7 servers (64 bytes each), plus 32 bytes of IPX network and SAP header information. |
480 bytes
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The maximum size is for the IPX packet including the IPX network and SAP header information. For example, to allow 10 servers per SAP packet, you would configure (32 + (10 x 64)), or 672 bytes for the maximum packet size.
You are responsible for guaranteeing that the maximum packet size does not exceed the allowed maximum size of packets for the interface.
The following example sets the maximum SAP update packet size to 672 bytes:
ipx sap-max-packetsize 672
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure the interval at which a network's or server's Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) entry ages out, use the ipx sap-multiplier interface configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
ipx sap-multiplier multiplier
multiplier | Multiplier used to calculate the interval at which to age out SAP routing table entries. This can be any positive number. The value you specify is multiplied by the SAP update interval to determine the aging-out interval. The default is three times the SAP update interval. |
Three times the SAP update interval.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
All routers on the same physical cable should use the same multiplier value.
In the following example, in a configuration where SAP updates are sent once every 1 minute, the interval at which SAP entries age out is set to 10 minutes:
interface ethernet 0
ipx sap-multiplier 10
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To configure the maximum length of the queue of pending input Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) GNS requests and SAP query packets, use the ipx sap-queue-maximum global configuration command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.
ipx sap-queue-maximum number
number | Maximum length of the queue of pending SAP requests. By default, there is no limit to the number of pending SAP requests that the Cisco IOS software stores in this queue. |
No maximum queue size
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The Cisco IOS software maintains a list of SAP requests to process, including all pending GNS queries from clients attempting to reach servers. When the network is restarted, the software can be inundated with hundreds of requests for servers. Most of these can be repeated requests from the same clients. The ipx sap-queue-maximum command allows you to configure the maximum length allowed for the pending SAP requests queue. Packets received when the queue is full are dropped.
The following example sets the length of the queue of pending SAP requests to 20:
ipx sap-queue-maximum 20
To repair corrupted network numbers, use the ipx source-network-update interface configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.
ipx source-network-updateThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
In some early implementations of IPX client software, it was possible for the client's network number to become corrupted. The ipx source-network-update command repairs this number by setting the source network field of any packet on the local network that has a hop count of zero.
You must disable fast switching with the no ipx route-cache command before using the ipx source-network-update command.
| Caution The ipx source-network-update command interferes with the proper working of OS/2 Requestors. Do not use this command in a network that has OS/2 Requestors. |
| Caution Do not use the ipx source-network-update command on interfaces on which NetWare (NetWare 3.1x or 4.0 or later) servers are using internal network numbers. |
In the following example, corrupted network numbers on serial interface 0 are repaired:
interface serial 0
no ipx route-cache
ipx source-network-update

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
autonomous-system-number | Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number from 1 to 65535. |
Enabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
When split horizon is enabled, 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 the Cisco IOS software to any interface from which that information originated. Typically, this behavior 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.
The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
no ipx split-horizon eigrp 200
To set the amount of time to wait before starting the spoofing of SPX keepalive packets following inactive data transfer, use the ipx spx-idle-time interface configuration command. To disable the current delay time set by this command, use the no form of this command.
ipx spx-idle-time delay-in-seconds
delay-in-seconds | The amount of time in seconds to wait before spoofing SPX keepalives after data transfer has stopped. |
60 seconds
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
This command sets the elapsed time in seconds after which spoofing of keepalive packets occurs, following the end of data transfer; that is, after the acknowledgment and sequence numbers of the data being transferred have stopped increasing. By default, SPX keepalive packets are sent from servers to clients every 15 to 20 seconds.
If you turn on SPX spoofing and you do not set an idle time, the default of 60 seconds is assumed. This means that the dialer idle time begins when SPX spoofing begins. For example, if the dialer idle time is 3 minutes, the elapse time before SPX spoofing begins is 4 minutes: 3 minutes of dialer idle time plus 1 minute of SPX spoofing idle time.
For this command to take effect, you must first use the ipx spx-spoof interface configuration command to enable SPX spoofing for the interface.
The following example enables spoofing on serial interface 0 and sets the idle timer to 300 seconds:
interface serial 0
ipx spx-spoof
no ipx route-cache
ipx spx-idle-time 300
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.

To configure the Cisco IOS software to respond to a client or server's SPX keepalive packets on behalf of a remote system so that a dial-on-demand (DDR) link will go idle when data has stopped being transferred, use the ipx spx-spoof interface configuration command. To disable spoofing, use the no form of this command.
ipx spx-spoofThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.
You can use the ipx spx-spoof command on any serial dialer or point-to-point interface. Fast switching and autonomous switching must be disabled on the interface; otherwise, SPX spoofing will not be permitted.
SPX keepalive packets are sent from servers to clients every 15 to 20 seconds after a client session has been idle for a certain period of time following the end of data transfer and after which only unsolicited acknowledgments are sent. The idle time may vary, depending on parameters set by the client and server.
Because of acknowledgment packets, a session would never go idle on a DDR link. On pay-per-packet or byte networks, these keepalive packets can incur for the customer large phone connection charges for idle time. You can prevent these calls from being made by configuring the software to respond to the server's keepalive packets on a remote client's behalf. This is sometimes referred to as "spoofing the server."
You can use the ipx spx-idle-time command to set the elapsed time in seconds after which spoofing of keepalive packets occurs, following the end of data transfer. If you turn on SPX spoofing and you do not set an idle time, the default of 60 seconds is assumed. This means that the dialer idle time begins when SPX spoofing begins. For example, if the dialer idle time is 3 minutes, the elapse time before the line goes "idle-spoofing" is 4 minutes: 3 minutes of dialer idle time plus 1 minute of SPX spoofing idle time.
The following example enables spoofing on serial interface 0:

To set the interpacket delay for triggered RIP updates sent on a single interface, use the ipx triggered-rip-delay interface configuration command. To return to the default delay, use the no form of this command.
ipx triggered-rip-delay delay
delay | Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update. The default delay is 55 ms. Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms. |
55 ms
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet routing update. A triggered routing update is one that the system sends in response to a "trigger" event, such as a request packet, interface up/down, route up/down, or server up/down.
The ipx triggered-rip-delay command sets the interpacket delay for triggered routing updates sent on a single interface. The delay value set by this command overrides the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered routing updates sent on the interface.
If the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command is high, then we strongly recommend a low delay value for triggered routing updates so that updates triggered by special events are sent in a more timely manner than periodic routing updates.
Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX machines. These machines may lose RIP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by this command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these IPX machines.
The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.
When you do not set the interpacket delay for triggered routing updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for both periodic and triggered routing updates.
When you use the no form of the ipx triggered-rip-delay command, the system uses the global default delay set by the ipx default-triggered-rip-delay command for triggered RIP updates, if it is set. If it is not set, the system uses the delay set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered RIP updates, if set. Otherwise, the system uses the initial default delay as described in the "Default" section.
This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links, or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.
The following example sets an interpacket delay of 55 ms for triggered routing updates sent on interface FDDI 0:

The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.
When you do not set the interpacket delay for triggered updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-sap-delay or ipx default-output-sap-delay command for both periodic and triggered SAP updates.
When you use the no form of the ipx triggered-sap-delay command, the system uses the global default delay set by the ipx default-triggered-sap-delay command for triggered SAP updates, if it is set.

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The ipx type-20-helpered command disables the input and output of type 20 propagation packets as done by the ipx type-20-propagation interface configuration command.
The ipx type-20-propagation command broadcasts type 20 packets to all nodes on the network and imposes a hop-count limit of eight routers for broadcasting these packets. These functions are in compliance with the Novell IPX router specification. In contrast, the ipx type-20-helpered command broadcasts type 20 packets to only those nodes indicated by the ipx helper-address interface configuration command and extends the hop-count limit to 16 routers.
Use of the ipx type-20-helpered command does not comply with the Novell IPX router specification; however, you may need to use this command if you have a mixed internetwork that contains routers running Software Release 9.1 and routers running later versions of Cisco IOS software.
The following example forwards IPX type 20 propagation packet broadcasts to specific network segments:

By default, the Cisco IOS software is configured to block type 20 propagation packets. When type 20 packet handling is enabled on multiple interfaces, you can use the ipx type-20-input-checks command to impose additional restrictions on the acceptance of type 20 packets. Specifically, the software will accept type 20 propagation packets only on the single network that is the primary route back to the source network. Similar packets received via other networks will be dropped. This behavior can be advantageous in redundant topologies, because it reduces unnecessary duplication of type 20 packets.

Routers normally block all broadcast requests. To allow input and output of type 20 propagation packets on an interface, use the ipx type-20-propagation command. Note that type 20 packets are subject to loop detection and control as specified in the IPX router specification.
Additional input and output checks may be imposed by the ipx type-20-input-checks and

ipx update interval {rip | sap} {value | changes-only}
rip | Adjusts the interval at which RIP updates are sent. The minimum interval is 10 seconds. |
sap | Adjusts the interval at which SAP updates are sent. The minimum interval is 10 seconds. |
value | The interval specified in seconds. |
changes-only | Specifies the sending of a SAP or RIP update when the link comes up, when the link is downed administratively, or when service information changes. This parameter is supported for both SAP and RIP updates. |
The default interval is 60 seconds for both IPX routing updates and SAP updates.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
This command replaces two commands found in previous releases of the Cisco IOS software: ipx sap-interval and ipx update-time.
Routers exchange information about routes by sending broadcast messages when they are started up and shut down, and periodically while they are running. The ipx update interval command enables you to modify the periodic update interval. By default, this interval is 60 seconds (this default is defined by Novell).
You should set RIP timers only in a configuration in which all routers are Cisco routers or in which all other IPX routers allow configurable timers. The timers should be the same for all devices connected to the same cable segment.
The update value you choose affects the internal IPX timers as follows:
Setting the interval at which SAP updates are sent is most useful on limited-bandwidth links, such as slower-speed serial interfaces.
You should ensure that all IPX servers and routers on a given network have the same SAP interval. Otherwise, they may decide that a server is down when it is really up.
It is not possible to change the interval at which SAP updates are sent on most PC-based servers. This means that you should never change the interval for an Ethernet or Token Ring network that has servers on it.
You can set the router to send an update only when changes have occurred. Using the changes-only keyword specifies the sending of a SAP update only when the link comes up, when the link is downed administratively, or when the databases change. The changes-only keyword causes the router to do the following:
The following example configures the update timers for RIP updates on two interfaces in a router:
interface serial 0
ipx update interval rip 40
interface ethernet 0
ipx update interval rip 20
The following example configures SAP updates to be sent (and expected) on serial interface 0 every 300 seconds (5 minutes) to reduce periodic update overhead on a slow-speed link:
interface serial 0
ipx update interval sap 300

To configure the router to send a SAP update immediately following a RIP broadcast, use the
ipx update sap-after-rip interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.
This command has no arguments or keywords.
RIP and SAP updates are sent every 60 seconds.
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
The ipx update sap-after-rip command causes the router to issue a SAP update immediately following a RIP broadcast. This ensures that the SAP update follows the RIP broadcast, and that the SAP update is sent using the RIP update interval. It also ensures that the receiving router has learned the route to the service interface via RIP prior to getting the SAP broadcast.
The following example configures the router to issue a SAP broadcast immediately following a RIP broadcast on serial interface 0.
interface serial 0
ipx update sap-after-rip

To have the Cisco IOS software respond to a server's watchdog packets on behalf of a remote client, use the ipx watchdog-spoof interface configuration command. To disable spoofing, use the no form of this command.
ipx watchdog-spoofThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Disabled
Interface configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
You can use the ipx watchdog-spoof command only on a serial interface on which dial-on-demand routing (DDR) has been enabled. Also, fast switching and autonomous switching must be disabled on the interface.
IPX watchdog packets are keepalive packets that are sent from servers to clients after a client session has been idle for approximately 5 minutes. On a DDR link, this would mean that a call would be made every 5 minutes, regardless of whether there were data packets to send. You can prevent these calls from being made by configuring the software to respond to the server's watchdog packets on a remote client's behalf. This is sometimes referred to as "spoofing the server."
The following example enables spoofing on serial interface 0:
interface serial 0
ipx watchdog-spoof
no ipx route-cache

To generate a log message when an NLSP adjacency changes state (up or down), use the log-adjacency-changes IPX-router configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this function.
log-adjacency-changesThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Adjacency changes are not logged.
IPX-router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
This command allows the monitoring of NLSP adjacency state changes. Adjacency state monitoring can be very useful when monitoring large networks. Messages are logged using the system error message facility. Messages are of the form:
%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0000.0034 (Serial0) Up, new adjacency
%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0000.0034 (Serial0) Down, hold time expired
Messages regarding the use of NLSP multicast and broadcast addressing are also logged. For example, if broadcast addressing is in use on Ethernet interface 1.2, and the last neighbor requiring broadcasts goes down, the following messages will be logged:
%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0C34.D838 (Ethernet1.2) Down, hold time expired
%CLNS-5-MULTICAST: NLSP: Multicast address in use on Ethernet1.2
If multicast addressing is in use and a new neighbor that supports only broadcast addressing comes up, the following messages will be logged:
%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0C34.D838 (Ethernet1.2) Up, new adjacency
%CLNS-5-MULTICAST: NLSP Broadcast address is in use on Ethernet1.2
The following example instructs the router to log adjacency changes for the NLSP process area1:
ipx router nlsp area1

logging
To enable the logging of changes in Enhanced IGRP neighbor adjacencies, use the log-neighbor-changes IPX-router configuration command. Use the no form of the command to disable this function.
log-neighbor-changesThis command has no arguments or keywords.
No adjacency changes are logged.
IPX-router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
Enable the logging of neighbor adjacency changes in order to monitor the stability of the routing system and to help detect problems. Log messages are of the following form:

To set the minimum interval at which link-state packets (LSPs) are generated, use the lsp-gen-interval router configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
lsp-gen-interval seconds
seconds | Minimum interval, in seconds. It can be a number in the range |
5 seconds
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The lsp-gen-interval command controls the rate at which LSPs are generated on a per-LSP basis. For instance, if a link is changing state at a high rate, the default value of the LSP generation interval limits the signaling of this change to once every 5 seconds. Because the generation of an LSP may cause all routers in the area to perform the SPF calculation, controlling this interval may have area-wide impact. Raising this interval can reduce the load on the network imposed by a rapidly changing link.
The following example sets the minimum interval at which LSPs are generated to 10 seconds:
lsp-gen-interval 10
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
To set the maximum size of a link-state packet (LSP) generated by the Cisco IOS software, use the lsp-mtu router configuration command. To restore the default MTU size, use the no form of this command.
lsp-mtu bytes
bytes | MTU size, in bytes. It can be a number in the range 512 to 4096. The default is 512 bytes. |
512 bytes
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
You can increase the LSP MTU if there is a very large amount of information generated by a single router, because each device is limited to approximately 250 LSPs. In practice, this should never be necessary.
The LSP MTU must never be larger than the smallest MTU of any link in the area. This is because LSPs are flooded throughout the area.
The lsp-mtu command limits the size of LSPs generated by this router only; the Cisco IOS software can receive LSPs of any size up to the maximum.
The following example sets the maximum LSP size to 1500 bytes:
lsp-mtu 1500
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
ipx router nlsp
To set the link-state packet (LSP) refresh interval, use the lsp-refresh-interval router configuration command. To restore the default refresh interval, use the no form of this command.
lsp-refresh-interval seconds
seconds | Refresh interval, in seconds. It can be a value in the range 1 to 50000 seconds. The default is 7200 seconds (2 hours). |
7,200 seconds (2 hours)
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The refresh interval determines the rate at which the Cisco IOS software periodically transmits the route topology information that it originates. This is done in order to keep the information from becoming too old. By default, the refresh interval is 2 hours.
LSPs must be periodically refreshed before their lifetimes expire. The refresh interval must be less than the LSP lifetime specified with the max-lsp-lifetime router configuration command. Reducing the refresh interval reduces the amount of time that undetected link state database corruption can persist at the cost of increased link utilization. (This is an extremely unlikely event, however, because there are other safeguards against corruption.) Increasing the interval reduces the link utilization caused by the flooding of refreshed packets (although this utilization is very small).
The following example changes the LSP refresh interval to 10,800 seconds (3 hours):
lsp-refresh-interval 10800
You can use the master indexes or search online to find documentation of related commands.
ipx router nlsp
max-lsp-lifetime
To set the maximum time that link-state packets (LSPs) persist without being refreshed, use the max-lsp-lifetime router configuration command. To restore the default time, use the no form of this command.
max-lsp-lifetime [hours] value
hours | (Optional) If specified, the lifetime of the LSP is set in hours. If not specified, the lifetime is set in seconds. |
value | Lifetime of LSP in hours or seconds. It can be a number in the range 1 to 32767. The default is 7500 seconds. |
7500 seconds (2 hours, 5 minutes)
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The hours keyword enables the router to interpret the maximum lifetime field in hours, allowing the router to keep LSPs for a much longer time. Keeping LSPs longer reduces overhead on slower-speed serial links and keeps ISDN links from becoming active unnecessarily.
You might need to adjust the maximum LSP lifetime if you change the LSP refresh interval with the lsp-refresh-interval router configuration command. The maximum LSP lifetime must be greater than the LSP refresh interval.
The following example sets the maximum time that the LSP persists to 11,000 seconds (more than 3 hours):
max-lsp-lifetime 11000
The following example sets the maximum time that the LSP persists to 15 hours:
max-lsp-lifetime hours 15

To configure the router to use multicast addressing, use the multicast router configuration command. To configure the router to use broadcast addressing, use the no form of this command.
multicastThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Multicast addressing is enabled.
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3.
This command allows the router to use NLSP multicast addressing. If an adjacent neighbor does not support NLSP multicast addressing, the router will revert to using broadcasts on the affected interface.
The router will also revert to using broadcasts on any interface where multicast addressing is not supported by the hardware or driver.
The following example disables multicast addressing on the router:
ipx router nlsp
no multicast
To define an IPX NetBIOS FindName access list filter, use the netbios access-list global configuration command. To remove a filter, use the no form of the command.
netbios access-list host name {deny | permit} string
host | Indicates that the following argument is the name of a NetBIOS access filter previously defined with one or more netbios access-list host commands. |
bytes | Indicates that the following argument is the name of a NetBIOS access filter previously defined with one or more netbios access-list bytes commands. |

deny | Denies access if the conditions are matched. |
permit | Permits access if the conditions are matched. |
string | Character string that identifies one or more NetBIOS host names. It can be up to 14 characters long. The argument string can include the following wildcard characters: · *—Match one or more characters. You can use this wildcard character only at the end of a string. · ?—Match any single character. |
offset | Decimal number that indicates the number of bytes into the packet at which the byte comparison should begin. An offset of 0 indicates the beginning of the NetBIOS packet header, which is at the end of the IPX header. |
byte-pattern | Hexadecimal pattern that represents the byte pattern to match. It can be up to 16 bytes (32 digits) long and must be an even number of digits. The argument byte-pattern can include the double asterisk (**) wildcard character to match any digits for that byte. |
No filters are predefined.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
Keep the following points in mind when configuring IPX NetBIOS access control:
These filters apply only to IPX NetBIOS FindName packets. They have no effect on LLC2 NetBIOS packets.
To delete an IPX NetBIOS access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper list. For example, to delete the entire list, use the following command:
no netbios access-list {host | bytes} nameTo delete a single entry from the list, use the following command:
no netbios access-list host name {permit | deny} stringThe following example defines the IPX NetBIOS access list engineering:
netbios access-list host engineering permit eng-ws1 eng-ws2 eng-ws3
The following example removes a single entry from the engineering access list:
netbios access-list host engineering deny eng-ws3
The following example removes the entire engineering NetBIOS access list:
no netbios access-list host engineering

To check host reachability and network connectivity, use the ping privileged EXEC command.
ping [ipx] [network.node]
ipx | (Optional) Specifies the IPX protocol. |
network.node | (Optional) Address of the system to ping. |
Privileged EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The privileged ping (IPX echo) command provides a complete ping facility for users who have system privileges.
The ping command with ipx ping-default set to Cisco works only on our routers running Software Release 8.2 or later.
Novell IPX devices that support the echo function defined in version 1.0 of the NLSP specification will respond to this command if you answer Y to the prompt Novell Standard Echo that is displayed when you use the privileged ping command or if ipx ping-default is set to Novell. If you answer N to this prompt, Novell IPX devices will not respond.
To abort a ping session, type the escape sequence. By default, this is Ctrl-^ X. You enter this by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, letting go, and then pressing the X key.
Table 48 describes the test characters displayed in ping responses.
The following sample display shows input to and output from the ping command:

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.0.
The user-level ping (packet internet groper function) command provides a basic ping facility for users who do not have system privileges. This command is equivalent to the nonverbose form of the privileged ping command. It sends five 100-byte ping packets.
The ping command with ipx ping-default set to Cisco works only on our routers running Cisco IOS software Release 8.2 or later. Novell IPX devices will not respond to this command.
If the system cannot map an address for a host name, it will return an "%Unrecognized host or address" error message.

To control the holddown period between partial route calculations, use the prc-interval router configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
prc-interval seconds
seconds | Minimum amount of time between partial route calculations, in seconds. It can be a number in the range 1 to 120. The default is 5 seconds. |

Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
The prc-interval command controls how often the Cisco IOS software can performs a partial route (PRC) calculation. The PRC calculation is processor-intensive. Therefore, it may be useful to limit how often this is done, especially on slower router models. Increasing the PRC interval reduces the processor load of the router, but potentially slows down the rate of convergence.
This command is analogous to the spf-interval command, which controls the holddown period between shortest path first calculations.
The following example sets the PRC calculation interval to 20 seconds:

connected | Specifies connected routes. |
eigrp autonomous-system-number | Specifies the Enhanced IGRP protocol and the Enhanced IGRP autonomous system number. It can be a number from |
floating-static | Specifies a floating static route. This is a static route that can be overridden by a dynamically learned route. |
nlsp [tag] | Specifies the NLSP protocol and, optionally, names the NLSP process (tag). The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
rip | Specifies the RIP protocol. You can configure only one RIP process on the router. Thus, you cannot redistribute RIP into RIP. |

Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
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.
If you have enabled floating static routes by specifying the floating keyword in the ipx route global configuration command and you redistribute floating static routes into a dynamic IPX routing protocol, any nonhierarchical topology causes the floating static destination to be redistributed immediately via a dynamic protocol back to the originating router, causing a routing loop. This occurs because dynamic protocol information overrides floating static routes. For this reason, automatic redistribution of floating static routes is off by default. If you redistribute floating static routes, you should specify filters to eliminate routing loops.
For NLSP environments, you can use the NLSP redistribute command to configure IPX route aggregation with customized route summarization. Configure IPX route aggregation with customized route summarization in
An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
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 system 300:
ipx router eigrp 300
redistribute eigrp 100
In the following example, Enhanced IGRP routes from autonomous system 300 are redistributed into the NLSP process area3:
ipx router nlsp area3
redistribute eigrp 300
The following example enables route summarization and redistributes routes learned from one NLSP instance to another. Any routes learned via NLSP a1 that are subsumed by route summary aaaa0000 ffff0000 are not redistributed into NLSP a2. Instead, an aggregated route is generated. Likewise, any routes learned via NLSP a2 that are subsumed by route summary bbbb0000 ffff0000 are not redistributed into NLSP a1—an aggregated route is generated.

To enable the generation of aggregated routes in an NLSP area, use the route-aggregation router configuration command. To disable generation, use the no form of this command.
route-aggregationThis command has no arguments or keywords.
Route summarization is disabled by default.
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
When route summarization is disabled, all routes redistributed into an NLSP area will be explicit routes.
When route summarization is enabled, the router uses the access list associated with the redistribute command (if one exists) for the routing process associated with each route as a template for route summarization. Explicit routes that match a range denied by the access list trigger generation of an aggregated route instead. Routes permitted by the access list are redistributed as explicit routes.
If no access list exists, the router instead uses the area address (if one exists) of the routing process associated with each route as a template for route summarization. Explicit routes that match the area address trigger generation of an aggregated route instead.
The following example enables route summarization between two NLSP areas. Route summarization is based on the area addresses configured for each area.

To display the entries in the link-state packet (LSP) database, use the show ipx nlsp database EXEC command.
show ipx nlsp [tag] database [lspid] [detail]
tag | (Optional) Names the NLSP process. The tag can be any combination of printable characters. |
lspid | (Optional) Link-state protocol ID (LSPID). You must specify this in the format xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.yy-zz. The components of this argument have the following meaning: · xxxx.xxxx.xxxx is the system identifier. · yy is the pseudo identifier. · zz is the LSP number. |
detail | (Optional) Displays the contents of the LSP database entries. If you omit this keyword, only a summary display is shown. |
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
When you specify an NLSP tag, the router displays the link-state packet database entries for that NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
Configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.
If you omit all options, a summary display is shown.
The following is sample output from the show ipx nlsp database command:

EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
When you specify an NLSP tag value, the router displays the NLSP neighbors for that NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers must be in a single area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.
NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage adjacencies, link-state, and area address databases for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.
You must configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.
If you omit the keyword detail, a summary display is shown.

To control how often the Cisco IOS software performs the Shortest Path First (SPF) calculation, use the spf-interval router configuration command. To restore the default interval, use the no form of this command.
spf-interval seconds
seconds | Minimum amount of time between SPF calculations, in seconds. It can be a number in the range 1 to 120. The default is 5 seconds. |
5 seconds
Router configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
SPF calculations are performed only when the topology changes. They are not performed when external routes change.
The spf-interval command controls how often the Cisco IOS software can perform the SPF calculation. The SPF calculation is processor-intensive. Therefore, it may be useful to limit how often this is done, especially when the area is large and the topology changes often. Increasing the SPF interval reduces the processor load of the router, but potentially slows down the rate of convergence.
The following example sets the SPF calculation interval to 30 seconds:
spf-interval 30
