IPX Commands

OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

page 38-3

Creates/deletes an IPX default route. A default IPX route can be configured for packets destined for 
networks that are unknown to the switch. If RIP messages are disabled, packets can still be forwarded to a 
router that knows where to send them. 

ipx default-route [vlan] network_number [network_node]

no ipx default-route [vlan]

VLAN number of the destination node for the default route (valid range 
0–4094).

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

IPX node number of the router used to reach the first hop in the default 
route in hexadecimal format (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). This is only required 
if the network number is directly connected to the switch.

• Use the no form of this command to delete a default route. To delete a default route to specific VLAN, 

enter the VLAN number. To delete a default route to a specific network, enter the network number.

• 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).

• To create a default route to a specific VLAN, enter the VLAN number (e.g., ipx default-route 10). 

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

device to the network. 

• IPX requires the node number to be unique only within the same IPX network. For example, a node on 

network FEDCBA98 can use the number 1A2B3C5D7E9F, and a node on network 1234567D can also 
use the number 1A2B3C5D7E9F. Because each node has a different network number, IPX recognizes 
each node as having a legitimate, unique address.
