8-8 CHAPTER 8: ADMINISTERING IPX ROUTING
Administering Servers
Each EFSM maintains a table of servers on other IPX networks. You can
either use the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) to exchange server
information automatically or make static entries in this table using the
Administration Console.
Each server table contains the following information:
■Name
The user-defined name of the server.
■Type
The type of service provided by the server.
■Node
The 6-byte address of the server that can forward packets to the
segment.
■Socket
The 2-byte socket address on which the server will receive service
requests.
■Hops
The number of networks that must be crossed to reach the server. The
maximum number is fifteen.
■Age
This is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the last time a
server in the table was heard from.
Displaying the
Server Table
You can display the server tables for the EFSMs in a system to
determine which routes are configured and if they are operational.
To display the contents of the server table:
1From the Administration Console top-level menu, enter:
ipx server display
2Enter the slot(s) of the EFSM(s) for which you want to display the server
table. Separate non-consecutive slots with commas (,). Enter a
consecutive series of slots using a dash (-).
