No IPX routing command in my IOS

[ejeangilles]

This may seem like a weird question but I'm trying to practice IPX routing on my cisco routers but I can't seem to bring up the command it tells me this.

2500a(config)#ipx routing 10
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

2500a(config)#

I'm also running ios 12.1. Am I missing something?

Sounds like the IOS. Just because it's 12.1 doesn't mean much---it could be just IP Base code (likely). That looks like
c2500-i-mz.12.1.bin
or something---the code is "i-mz". IP Plus would be "is-mz", crypto would have a k9 in it, etc. Post a "sh ver"

Hello
You will need a IOS that support IPX.Try to find and IOS with the "d" = IPX.Not sure if the "j" = enterprise version will have IPX.

Enterprise will have it , that covers just about everything from IPX to appletalk to bridging .
