Question

What does the “IPX maximum-paths 2” command accomplish?

(a) It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths

(b) It sets up routing to go to network 2

(c) It is the default for Cisco IPX load sharing

(d) It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are unequal metric paths

This question was addressed to me in unit test.

My question is taken from IP Routing topic in chapter Networking of Computer Network

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths

To elaborate: It enables load sharing on 2 paths if the paths are equal metric paths. The default is 1 path and the maximum is 512 paths. The value must always be greater than 1 and must be a natural number.
