Figure 21-14 IPX Statistics Display

[E],[F] from Main Menu

There are three screens of IPX statistics. Pressing [F7] will display the next one (if there is one), and pressing [F6] will display the previous one (if there is one). All IPX statistics are listed below.

Information in this Display:

●Pkts to Route – is the number of IPX packets routed through the local node.

●Hops Too Large – is the number of routed packets that were discarded because the hop count exceeded 15, the maximum allowable.

●NetB Hops_2_Lrg – is the number of NetBIOS packets that were discarded because the hop count exceeded the number of NetBIOS Hops specified in the IPX Interface record for the local FRX/FRM interface.

●RIP No Net Addr – is the number of RIP entries received with no network address. The network address configured for the interface will be used.

●Path Not Fnd Pkt – is the number of RIP packets that cannot be transmitted because a route to the destination network cannot be found.

●RIP Pkts Tx – is the number of RIP packets transmitted on the interface.

●RIP G_Query Tx – is the number of RIP General Queries transmitted on the interface.

1800 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
