An additional step is required when routing IPX over Frame Relay. This step requires that entries 
are created in the IPX Host Map. The IPX Host Map is a database of remote IPX hosts that are 
defined generally by the WAN Network number and MAC Address, and more specifically by the 
Interface Number and Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI). The IPX Host Map helps a routing 
decision by determining which circuit a packet should be forwarded to in a point to multi-point 
Frame Relay connection. 

 shows how IPX Host Map entries are entered using the circuitmap command. The 

circuitmap command is accessed from the 

information on the circuitmap command. 

 

The circuitmap command contains the following fields:

An entry must be created for each remote Router connected via the Frame Relay 

interface. 

The Network is the IPX Network number associated with the Frame Relay network. 

The Node is the MAC address of the remote router on the other end of the WAN link. 

The Circuit ID is the DLCI identifying the virtual circuit connection to the Telco.
