You're making assumptions, Priscilla. Gene never said it was an Ethernet
sub-interface. It could be a frame-relay sub-interface ;-)
But I agree, if it's not going to add the IPX network number, it would be
nice if it gave an error.
Gene, can we see your configs? And what you're trying to add? And you're
not running a really early IOS version are you? IPX used to do all sorts
of odd things (come to that, it still does in recent versions, usually
exactly when you don't want it to...)

Subject: Re: IPX Network Configs [7:45477]
Is this part of a business decision process?:
Is it giving you an error when you try to config the IPX network number?
It
should (if it's not going to add it to the config), but sometimes IOS
doesn't act like it should. ;-)
The reason to use a subinterface in the IPX world is to support multiple
Ethernet encapsulation types. You have to use a different network number
and a different encapsulation on the subinterface than you do on the main
interface or any other subinterfaces.
My router gives me a nice error if I do something wrong:
Check this out. Notice that first I tried to use a network number already
in use on a different interface. Then I tired to use an encapsulation that
was the same as the encap on the main interface. (The default,
novell-ether). I needed to use a unique network number and an encap not
already in use on this interface (or subinterfaces).

So, not an exact answer, but some hints hopefully!?
