6.3 Test IPX Networks Using RouterVu

To systematically verify connectivity, power up the Router and observe the messages on the console. Establish a PPP connection on your WAN interface using the update now command.

If CHAP or PAP hasn’t failed, then perform the “ping” tests. The ping tests provide a minimal set of results that can be used to help verify network connectivity and resolve problems.

On the diagram, circle the test numbers if the ping is successful, and record the node names and network addresses used. If desired, fax these two completed diagrams to your technical-support person.

For more information, refer to “ping” in Section 3.10 of the Reference Manual.

IPX RouterVu tests:

You must use a PC with RouterVu to run the following tests. You must have a NetWare File Server on your remote Ethernet, that is reachable through the Routers.

NOTE

For the ping tests to work, in your local SAP table you must be able to see the host that you want to ping. Otherwise the ping will not work.

1.Determine the IPX network numbers of the local and remote Ethernets.

2.Run RouterVu on your local PC and issue the following
