# ipx\_internal\_net(8)

add or delete the IPX internal network

## NAME

ipx\_internal\_net - add or delete the IPX internal network

## SYNOPSIS

**ipx\_internal\_net** add network\_number node\_number

**ipx\_internal\_net** del

## DESCRIPTION

**ipx\_internal\_net** adds or deletes the IPX internal network. An IPX internal network is a special kind of IPX interface that does not have a physical device or frame type.  It is used to provide a route-independent address for service providers.   Internal networks are optional; however, when one is present it is also the Primary Interface.  There can only be one internal network per host. The node number defaults to 1 if a second arg is not given to the "add" command.

### OPTIONS

- *add*

  This option is used to create the IPX internal network.

- *del*

  This option is used to delete the IPX internal network.

## FILES
