Syntax Description

cache

This command shows the IPX fast-routing cache available in Cisco's Ethernet-to-Ethernet routers. This fast-routing cache enables this class of router to route at full Ethernet wire speed.

filter

This command shows the runtime IPX protocol filters for all of the interfaces.

config [{Ethernet | WAN} [slot:port] | VPN [Number]] [Status]

This command shows the IPX parameters that are configured into the Flash ROM of a device.

{Ethernet | WAN} | VPN allows selective display of information about a specific type of interface. When a type is specified, all the interfaces of that type are shown in the command's output.

slot:port or Number allows selective display of information about a specific interface.

Status specifies that the IPX runtime information be shown. It is the same output as that shown for the show ipx runtime command.

runtime [{Ethernet | WAN} [slot:port] | VPN [Number]]

This command shows the IPX parameters that are currently running in the device. The format of this information is the same as that shown above for the show ipx config command. The information reflects the runtime status of the IPX networks that are connected to the device and may differ from the configured information.

{Ethernet | WAN} | VPN allows selective display of information about a specific type of interface. When a type is specified, all the interfaces of that type are shown in the command's output.

slot:port or Number allows selective display of information about a specific interface.

routing [Verbose]

This command shows the current IPX routing table. Verbose shows additional detailed information about the IPX routing tables.

servers [Verbose]

This command shows the current IPX SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) table. Verbose shows additional detailed information about the IPX SAP tables.

cache	This command shows the IPX fast-routing cache available in Cisco's Ethernet-to-Ethernet routers. This fast-routing cache enables this class of router to route at full Ethernet wire speed.

When a type is specified, all the interfaces of that type are shown in the command's output. slot:port or Number allows selective display of information about a specific interface. Status specifies that the IPX runtime information be shown. It is the same output as that shown for the show ipx runtime command.

Usage Guidelines

The following sections describe the display contents for each command.

show ipx config Display

The information shown for show ipx config is:

Port

This identifies the physical IPX interface.

Timers (RIP and SAP)

These values show how often the router sends out IPX RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IPX SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) packets on the network segment attached to this interface. The RIP packets sent out on this interface contain routing information about networks for which this device is responsible. The SAP packets sent out on this interface contain information about services (such as servers, printers, etc.) for which this device is responsible. The default timer is 60 seconds for both.

Frame

For Ethernet interfaces, this shows the IPX frame type. On WAN interfaces, this shows whether the interface is numbered or unnumbered. A numbered interface means that there is a non-zero network number configured on the interface. An unnumbered interface means that the network doesn't have a number associated with it and is considered half-routed.

Seed

This displays the seed status of the IPX interface and frame type. Possible seed identifiers are Seed, Auto or Non [seed]. If the interface is off, Off is displayed. On a WAN interface the possible seed identifier can be Unnumbered.

Net

This is the network number configured when the interface is a seed port. It is shown as a hexadecimal value.

Flags

On WAN interfaces, the RIP update method is shown as either Triggered or Periodic. RTR indicates that PPP should negotiate the router name option.

Remote Net

On WAN interfaces, additional information is shown about the remote net address.

Port	This identifies the physical IPX interface.
Timers (RIP and SAP)	These values show how often the router sends out IPX RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IPX SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) packets on the network segment attached to this interface. The RIP packets sent out on this interface contain routing information about networks for which this device is responsible. The SAP packets sent out on this interface contain information about services (such as servers, printers, etc.) for which this device is responsible. The default timer is 60 seconds for both.
Frame	For Ethernet interfaces, this shows the IPX frame type. On WAN interfaces, this shows whether the interface is numbered or unnumbered. A numbered interface means that there is a non-zero network number configured on the interface. An unnumbered interface means that the network doesn't have a number associated with it and is considered half-routed.
Seed	This displays the seed status of the IPX interface and frame type. Possible seed identifiers are Seed, Auto or Non [seed]. If the interface is off, Off is displayed. On a WAN interface the possible seed identifier can be Unnumbered.
Net	This is the network number configured when the interface is a seed port. It is shown as a hexadecimal value.
Flags	On WAN interfaces, the RIP update method is shown as either Triggered or Periodic. RTR indicates that PPP should negotiate the router name option.
Remote Net	On WAN interfaces, additional information is shown about the remote net address.

show ipx routing Display

The show ipx routing routing table is shown in two sections. The first is the network information for the Directly Connected Routes. The second section shows the Dynamic Routes obtained through IPX RIP packets on the directly connected networks.

Net Nmbr

This is the network number of the IPX route shown as a hexadecimal value.

Gateway

This is the IPX address (net - node) of the device responsible for the network. Packets bound for the network are sent to the device at that address to be forwarded.

Refs

This is the internal count of references to the route displayed.

Uses

This is the number of IPX packets routed to the destination by this device.

Metric

The metric is the number of routers between this device and the destination. Values will be between 1 and 16. If a metric count is 16, the route is timed out and will be purged from the table.

TTL

This is the Time To Live for the route in seconds.

Flags

These are internal flags used by the router to maintain the routing table.

Iface

This is the interface through which the route was received and also identifies the interface where the gateway is located.

Net Nmbr	This is the network number of the IPX route shown as a hexadecimal value.

show ipx servers Display

The information shown in the show ipx servers SAP table is explained below:

Type

This is the server type.

Name

This is the server name.

Net Address

This is the IPX address (net - node) of the server.

Port

This is the port or socket number where the server is listening.

Hops

This is the number of hops away that the server is from this device. Values will be between 1 and 16. If a hop count is 16, the server is timed out and will be purged from the table.

TTL

This is the Time To Live for the service in seconds. A value of 999 means that the timeout is infinite and will never be timed out.

Iface

This is the interface through which information about the service was received and also identifies the interface where the service is located.

Type	This is the server type.
Name	This is the server name.
Net Address	This is the IPX address (net - node) of the server.
