Creates/deletes an IPX static route. A static route enables you to send traffic to a router other than those 
learned through routing protocols. Static routes have higher priority than routes learned through RIP.

ipx route network_number next_hop_network next_hop_node [hop_count] [delay]

no ipx route network_number

IPX network number of the static route’s destination.

IPX network number of the router used to reach the first hop in the 
static route.

IPX node number of the router used to reach the first hop in the static 
route in hexadecimal format (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).

Number of hops to the destination node.

Delay, in ticks, to reach the route’s destination. One clock tick is the 
equivalent to 1/18 of a second (approximately 55 ms).

• If fewer than eight hex digits are entered for an IPX network number, the entry is automatically 

prefixed with zeros to equal eight digits. For example, if you enter IPX network number 222, the lead-
ing zeros are automatically added to the number (e.g., 00000222).

• The amount of time taken by a packet to arrive at another IPX network segment is expressed, in ticks, 

as the static route’s path cost. Path cost refers to the network path preference assigned to the static 
route. This parameter is used to advertise the static route to other RIP routers.

• Static routes do not age out of the routing tables; however, they can be deleted.

• To delete a static route you only need to enter the network number of the destination node.

• The network node number is the physical address assigned to the interface board that connects the 

device to the network.
