Cabletron Systems CSX1000 IPX Routing Initialization, IPX Routing Over the LAN Connection

USER’S GUIDE

2.Enter the ip rip stats administration console command. Look for the IfStatRcvResponses counter for the interface. This statistics is the number of RIP update messages received on the interface.

If the total number of these counters is 0, check the Router to verify that it is configured to send IP RIP update messages.

3.Also look for the IfStatRcvBadPackets and IfStatRcvBadRoutes counters.

If these counters are not 0, there may be something wrong with the Router.

If these counters are 0, there is an unexpected condition present within the CyberSWITCH system software. Contact customer support.

An internal error has occurred. Contact Customer Support.

IPX ROUTING OVER THE LAN CONNECTION

Problem:

The CyberSWITCH does not display the correct message after issuing the ipx diag or ipx ping command. Instead, it displays the following message:

No response from <ipx-address>

Action:

1.Verify that the routing entry for the destination network exists by entering the following console command:

ipx route

If the CyberSWITCH displays the route to the destination, it knows how to reach the local server’s internal network. Determine if this is a static route or a dynamic route learned via RIP. The output of an ipx route command contains a protocol (P) field for each route entry, which
