ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

Possible cause #1—The limit on the amount of connection slots available on the NetWare server has been reached. Check the server to see if the maximum number of users is currently logged in. lf the limit has been reached, then there are no available slots. In this case, the problem is not caused by the Router.

Possible cause #2—This could be caused by a misconfigured network. Refer to the section below on misconfigured network.

C.4.8 MISCONFIGURED NETWORKS (IPX)

Suggestion—Check your network configuration to be sure the following items are configured correctly:

NetWare Serverl

ipx internal net 1234

bind ipx to ether_board net=00001111

Router 1

(ipx)Routerl> ifconfig eth0

eth0/802.3 Lan mode Network number 00001111 (up,connected) Node number 02CFlF800219

flags 000722 trace 0x0000

sent: ipx 20471 tot 80500 idle 0:00:00:00 qlen 0

recv: ipx 151265 tot 570065 idle 0:00:00:00 discarded input 3396 discarded output 0 input q len 10 output q len 10

NetWare Server2

ipx internal net 5678

bind ipx to ether_board net=00002222

Router 2

(ipx)Router2> ifconfig eth0 eth0/802.3 Lan mode

Network number 00002222 (up,connected) Node number 02CFlF800436

flags 000722 trace 0x0000

sent: ipx 20231 tot 80760 idle 0:00:00:00 qlen 0

recv: ipx 151265 tot 570065 idle 0:00:00:00 discarded input 3396 discarded output 0 input q len 10 output q len 10

Ethernet frame types—Make sure the frame type(s) configured on each Router match the frame type(s) in use on the NetWare clients and servers on the LAN.

IPX network numbers—Make sure that a unique IPX network number is configured on the Router for each Ethernet frame type in use on the LAN. Make sure that the IPX Network Numbers configured on each Router match those configured on each NetWare server. Note: IPX Network Numbers do not have to be configured on NetWare clients.

Internal network numbers—Make sure that unique Internal Network Numbers are assigned on each NetWare server throughout your network.

Console messages—Check your NetWare Server console for messages indicating that the IPX Network Numbers are set incorrectly. The messages on the server console give the Ethernet address of misconfigured network nodes.
