Monitoring IPX	■ To display the forwarding table:
	Go to the Monitor > Routes and Services > IPX Routes screen.
	■ To display the SAP table:
	Go to the Monitor > Routes and Services > IPX Services screen.
	■ To display the Global IPX counters:
	Go to the Monitor > Networks > IPX > IPX Counters screen
	(indicates the number of data packets received and forwarded or
	discarded).
	■ To display the IPX interfaces:
	Go to the Monitor > Networks > Network Status screen. When a
	remote site has been successfully established and IPX is configured, an
	entry will be displayed with the Remote Site Name followed by an
	“-ipx” suffix.
IPX Testing	If the IPX routing has been setup correctly and if the remote network is
	functioning, you should be able to access remote Novell servers or
	perform other IPX tasks.
	If you have problems, you should check the Monitor > Routes and
	Services > IPX Routes and IPX Services screens to see if the expected
	routes and services have been learned via RIP and SAP.
	If remote routes and services have not been learned, check the
	Configuration > Remote Sites (WAN) > IPX screens and ensure that
	IPX Routing is set to Listen or Listen and Broadcast.
