hsrp/redundant ipx [7:33072]
Fellow listers, Does ipx have a redundant routing mechanism? If I have 2 6509's with a gig trunk port (all vlans), HSRP for IP traffic and the router dies in one, is IPX just hosed? Or does it even matter? I know that ipx interfaces are not configured quite the same as ip interfaces and are really just network numbers. The router then knows to route between ipx networks. But which 6509 will route the traffic? Or is it automatically dynamic? What exactly is going on? -Patrick Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=33072t=33072 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IPX hosts use IPXRIP to figure out where to send traffic so it's not necessary to configure redundancy. They don't have a default gateway like an IP host would. If you have two exit points from a LAN, the hosts will dynamically figure out how to get to remote networks with no additional configuration. At least I think that's how it works. :-) I haven't had any coffee yet today so I can't be held responsible for the accuracy of my posts.

In IPX your host wants to get to IPX network x and the first router to answer the request will forward the packets. If that router goes belly up than the other will take over since he will answer first by default. I'm sure others who know the intricacies more than I can give a more elegant answer.

Good protocols don't need a hack like HSRP. ;-) Seriously, an IPX client sends a RIP Find Network Number broadcast at initialization and if a problem occurs. Any router can respond. AppleTalk doesn't need HSRP either. AppleTalk end nodes listen to RTMP packets and figure out the address of the sending routers. I don't think DECnet needs HSRP either. Nor does Banyan. Just IP.

well ... I've completely designed this network all wrong then! Maybe I should consider banyan? : p Priscilla Oppenheimer 01/24/02 03:53PM Good protocols don't need a hack like HSRP. ;-) Seriously, an IPX client sends a RIP Find Network Number broadcast at initialization and if a problem occurs.
