Look at the output of your show ipx route
When you enter the command ipx routing you may do so just that way. The IOS
then assigns a router id / mac to the process. Wise people have told me that
one should always use the form you mention - ipx routing x.x.x and use a
scheme that allows you to easily identify your routers, and also easily use
ipx ping.
The network xxxx command is merely placing an address on an interface /
link, similar, but not quite the same as you do for ip.
IPX is a bit easier to deal with than is IP, in that the host address is a
combination of the network address and the station mac address. So you are
letting an interface know its network address. Its mac address remains
constant in most worlds.
Ipx addressing, while not lending itself easily to hierarchy, can be planned
with ease of identity and ease of filtering in mind.
Core = network AA
Distribution = Aaxx, where xx is coded by distribution point or some other
pneumonic
Access = Aaxxyy, where yy is the local network number
So that my ipx network AAC927 might tell me that the route ( or SAP ) is
coming from office 27, through distribution router C9
Does this make sense?

Hello All.
I am taking a look at, lets say router 3.
Could somebody please let me know where the following numbers came from:
ipx routing "x.x.x"
ipx network "xxxx"
Are these just chosen out of thin air, or have some significance?
Thanks,
Scott
