IPX Routing Table

The IPX Routing Table window displays the following parameters:

• Destination Network — Destination IPX network numbers in ascending order.

• Circuit — The circuit number used to reach the next hop.

• Dest Protocol — The routing protocol from which knowledge of this destination was obtained:

• Static — User-defined entry (SNMP).

• Local — The entry derived from an IPX interface definition.

• RIP — The entry learned from the RIP protocol.

• Ticks to Net — Time estimate required for the propagation of a packet sent along the route described by this table entry to the destination network. This estimate is given in ticks (there are 18.21 ticks in a second), and does not include delays introduced by buffers used for temporary storage of packets in routers.

• Hops to Net — Describes this table entry number of hops on the route to the destination network. Entries with more than 15 hops are removed from the table.

• Forwarding Router Address — IPX node address (12 hexadecimal digits) of the next IPX router in the route to the destination network, described by this table entry. If the destination network is one of the network segments directly connected to this IPX router, this field is all zeroes.

• Next Hop NetNum — Next hop IPX network number.

• Status — Defines whether the RIP interface is active. OFF is inactive but not deleted.
