IPX Commands
ipx filter gns
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6800, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guidelines
· Use the no form of the command to delete a GNS filter. · To apply a global filter, use only the basic command syntax (e. g. , ipx filter gns all allow). Do not
enter the optional vlan, network, network_mask, network_node, or node_mask parameters.
· If you do not enter a network number, the filter will be applied to all networks. · If you do not enter a node number, the filter will be applied to all nodes of the specified network. · The network node number is the physical address assigned to the interface board that connects the
device to the network.
Examples
-> ipx filter gns all block
Release History
Release 5. 1; command was introduced.

ipx type-20-propagation
IPX Commands
ipx type-20-propagation
Enables/disables Type 20 packet forwarding. If Type 20 packet forwarding is enabled on the switch, the switch receives and propagates type 20 packets through all its interfaces. If Type 20 packet forwarding is disabled on the switch, the switch discards, rather than propagates, any Type 20 packet it receives. ipx type-20-propagation [vlan] {enable | disable} no ipx type-20-propagation [vlan]
Syntax Definitions
vlan enable disable To enable/disable Type 20 packet forwarding on a specific VLAN, enter the VLAN number. Disables Type 20 packet forwarding.
Defaults
parameter enable | disable default disable
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6800, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guidelines
· Use the no form of the command to disable Type 20 packet forwarding. · To enable/disable Type 20 packet forwarding on all VLANs, use only the basic command syntax (e. g. ,
ipx type-20-propagation enable). Do not enter the optional vlan parameter.
· If Type 20 packet forwarding is enabled it may cause problems with highly redundant IPX networks by
causing what appears to be a broadcast storm.
Examples
-> ipx type-20-propagation enable
Release History
Release 5. 1; command was introduced.
Related Commands

ipx packet-extension
IPX Commands
ipx packet-extension
Enables/disables extended RIP/SAP packets. Larger RIP and SAP packets can be transmitted to reduce network congestion. ipx packet-extension [vlan] {enable | disable} no ipx packet-extension [vlan]
Syntax Definitions
vlan enable disable To enable/disable extended RIP/SAP packets on a specific VLAN, enter the VLAN number. Disables extended RIP/SAP packets.
Defaults
parameter enable | disable default disable
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6800, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guidelines
· Use the no form of the command to disable extended RIP/SAP packets. · To enable/disable extended RIP/SAP packets on all VLANs, use only the basic command syntax (e. g. ,
ipx packet-extension enable). Do not enter the optional vlan parameter.
· Transmitting larger RIP and SAP packets reduces network congestion; however, other switches and
routers in the network must support a larger, or extended, packet sizes if this feature is configured on the switch.
Examples
-> ipx packet-extension

ipx timers
IPX Commands
ipx timers
Configures the frequency of RIP/SAP updates. RIP and SAP are the routing and service advertising protocols traditionally used by NetWare systems to exchange route and service information on an IPX network. By default, RIP and SAP packets are broadcast every 60 seconds, even if no change has occurred anywhere in a route or service. This command allows you to control how often a router broadcasts these updates. ipx timers [vlan] rip_timer sap_timer no ipx timers [vlan]
Syntax Definitions
vlan rip_timer sap_timer To configure the IPX timer on a specific VLAN, enter the VLAN number. SAP timer value, in seconds (valid range 1180).
Defaults
parameter rip_timer sap_timer default 60 60
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6800, 7700, 7800, 8800
Usage Guidelines
· Use the no form of the command to return the timers to the default value of 60. · To configure the IPX timer on all VLANs, use only the basic command syntax (e. g. , ipx timers 60 60).
Do not enter the optional vlan parameter.
· You must set both timer values at the same time (e. g. , ipx timers 120 60). [. . . ] Apptitude, Inc.
