This has perplexed me too and I'm also keen on confirming exactly what the
metric's mean. The following is my theory at this point in time. Looking
at your example below ...
NX 252310 [27][02/02][01/01] via 2515.0000.0000.0001, 49s, Se1
I from experience have noticed that the "[01/01]" is the exact tick/hop
count of the route as it was redistributed into NLSP. Basically, the IOS is
telling you that if a RIP route was automatically redistributed into NLSP,
at the time of redistribution the RIP tickhop count was [01/01].
As far as I can work out, it seems that Cisco IOS NLSP metric continues to
count and determine the tick/hop count metric. Thus the above "[02/02]"
represents a valid tick/hop metric for the route on this router. The route
was redistributed perhaps by RIP, one hop away "[01/01]", and on this router
now has the tick/hop metric of [02/02].
[27] ???? I dont know, help!

Subject: IPX-show ipx route output
I'm trying to learn how to interpret the output of 'show ipx route', and
having one heck of a time doing it. I've searched the web and CCO, but to
no
avail. - can anyone explain why there are multiple metrics [delay/hops]
fields for NLSP routes and what they mean? the NX route entry especially
intrigues me. I'm running 12.1 code.
Also, what's that first number [27] tagged on the NLSP routes?
Here's the output below
thanks in advance

May the route be with you
Switch if you must, route if you can ;-)
