OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

The vlan router ipx command is also used to modify one or more existing IPX router interface parameter 
values. For example, the following command changes the existing router interface IPX address for VLAN 
955 to 1000450C:

-> vlan 955 router ipx 1000450C

It is not necessary to first remove the IPX router interface from the VLAN. The changes specified will 
overwrite existing parameter values. For example, the following command changes the advertisement 
mode to RIP only, the encapsulation to LLC, and the delay time value to 1500. The IPX address is not 
changed in this example, but is required as part of the command syntax to identify a change to the router 
interface: 

-> vlan 955 router ipx 1000450C rip llc timeticks 10

 command to verify IPX router changes. For more information about this command, see 

the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

The switch operates only in single MAC router mode. In this mode, each router VLAN is assigned the 
same MAC address, which is the base chassis MAC address for the switch. This eliminates the need to 
allocate additional MAC addresses if more than 32 router VLANs are defined. The number of router 
VLANs allowed then is based on the IP interface configuration. See 

 for more information.

To determine the total number of VLANs configured on the switch, and the number of VLANs with IP 
router interfaces configured, use the 

 command. For more information about 

this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
