ipx_configure: query/configure IPX behavior

NAME

ipx_configure - query/configure IPX behavior

SYNOPSIS

ipx_configure [ --help | -h ] [ --auto_interface=on|off | -i on|off ] [ --auto_primary=on|off | -p on|off ]

DESCRIPTION

ipx_configure queries or configures IPX behavior with respect to automatic IPX interface detection. IPX can be configured to automatically create interfaces as they are detected. It can also be configured to automatically select a primary interface when none is explicitly selected. By default, it is configured to NOT have this behavior. Without arguments, ipx_configure returns the current configuration state. The behavior with arguments is described in the section OPTIONS.

OPTIONS

--auto_interface=on|off
-i on|off

This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically creating interfaces.

--auto_primary=on|off
-p on|off

This argument either turns on or off the behavior of automatically selecting a primary interface.
