Configuring the IPX interface
To configure the IPX interface:
- From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IPX Routing > IPX > Circuits.
| The IPX dialog box opens with the Circuits tab displayed. The term "circuit" refers to the IPX network interface. |
- In the OperState field, use the pull-down menus to select the options.
- In the IfIndex field, use the pull-down menus to select the options.
- In the NetNumber field, use the pull-down menus to select the options.
- Click Apply.

Note:
For port-based VLANs, an IPX circuit is "on" only when a link is up in the VLAN. For protocol-based VLANs, a circuit is "on" only after the VLAN receives a packet of the specified protocol type.
