no IPX default network

I am not sure about the NLSP part.

Some one comment.

Subject: IPX network number clarification

IPX network numbers were originally valid from 1 to FFFFFFFE.
When NLSP came along, the FFFFFFFE network number was taken to
indicate the network that was advertising the default route.
Some documentation indicates that you can use the FFFFFFFE network
number, other documentation says you can't.
Can someone explain how this special default route network number,
FFFFFFFE, is implemented?
And is it possible to turn it off?
Is it only needed when IPX NLSP is being used?
Thanks!
Eric
