look at your IOS file name, if there is a letter "n" in the file name then
your IOS have IPX support. Otherwise, no letter "n" = no IPX (unless
filename has been renamed)
ie: c2500-jk3
- j = enterprise
- k3 = 56 bit encryption w/ ssh
- i = IP
- l (L) = IPX, static routing, gateway
- n = ipx
- o = firewall
- s = nat, rmon, ibm, mmp, vpdn/l2f (this is for 25xx)
and more...
