Is there a way to only bridge IPX? I was working on a self derived
scenario:

R2-- f/r -- R1 -- f/r --R4 (R1 set up as IRB bridge IPX)

I wanted to bridge IPX and be able to ping an interface on R4 from an
interface on R2. Both had the same network address. It would not work
until I created a BVI on both sides.

So three questions:

1) To enter an IPX network address on an interface, you must enter 'ipx
routing' first. Does this mean a Cisco router only is capable of routing
IPX? With the keyword routing ipx, does this mean IPX routing only no pure
bridging IPX?

2) Can you set up an scenario where you can bridge IPX networks and ping
IPX withouth terminating the ends with a BVI?

3) Am I missing something simple here?

I looked through the archives w/out luck and I'm seeing things in triple
right about now.

Regards.

Carolyn
