VERIFYING IPX ROUTER IS INITIALIZED

To verify that the IPX Routing option has initialized properly.

1.Determine if IPX routing has been initialized on the CyberSWITCH by viewing the system messages. To display the messages enter the following console command:

dr <return>

2.Look for the following IPX message among the system messages:

[IPX] IPX router is initialized successfully

Also, for each IPX interface that has been configured, the following interface initialization message should be displayed among the system messages.

[IPX] Network initialized successfully on xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxx

Note: Other messages may also be displayed with the IPX router initialization messages. If you see these IPX router initialization messages, the IPX router is initialized.

If these IPX router initialization messages are NOT displayed, refer to IPX Routing Initialization in the Problem Diagnosis chapter.

VERIFYING IPX ROUTING IS OPERATIONAL

To verify that IPX routing feature is properly operational, a local NetWare client, a local NetWare server and a remote NetWare server must be operational.

The following graphic illustrates an example network we will use to describe how to verify that IPX routing is operational. It uses IPX network addresses specific to the example. Substitute the IPX network numbers of your network when you perform the verification steps. The example also uses NetWare commands available for the Windows 95 workstation. Substitute the equivalent commands on your NetWare client.
