426 Chapter 8 � Configuring Novell IPX
4. Check your routed protocols again to see if IPX routing is enabled by
typing the commands sh prot or show protocol. Notice that IPX routing
is enabled, but the interfaces don’t have IPX addresses, only IP
addresses.
5. Enable IPX on the individual interfaces by using the interface command
ipx network. You can use any number, up to eight characters,
hexadecimal (A through F and 0 through 9). Here is an example for
router 2501A:
2501A#config t
2501A(config)#int e0
2501A(config-if)#ipx network 11
2501A(config-if)#int to0
2501A(config-if)#ipx network 15
2501A(config-if)#int s0
2501A(config-if)#ipx network 20
6. Configure the other routers in the lab with IPX networking.
7. Test your configuration. One of the best ways to do this is with the
show ipx route command.
8. Use the show protocol command and show ipx interface command
to see the IPX addresses of an interface.
9. Once you find the IPX address of your neighbor routers, ping using
the IPX protocol. (You can either go to the neighbor routers’ console
port, use the show protocol or show ipx interface command, or
use the CDP protocol to gather the protocol information, as sh cdp
entry *.)
10. Use the ipx maximum-paths command to tell a Cisco router that it is
possible there is more than one link to a remote network. (The IPX
protocol, by default, only looks for one route to a remote network.
Once it finds a valid route, it will not consider looking for another
route, even if a second route exists.)
11. Verify this command with the show ipx route command.
