Cabletron Systems CSX1200, CSX1000 manual IPX Routing Over the Remote LAN Connection

PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

IPX Routing

indicate if it is static (L- locally configured) or dynamically learned via RIP (R). If it is learned via RIP, then basic communication between the CyberSWITCH and the local NetWare server is operational, and it is uncertain why the NetWare server does not respond to the ping request. Contact Customer Support.

2.Verify that RIP protocol is enabled by entering the following Mange Mode command: ipxrip

Enable RIP if it is not already enabled.

3.Using the ipxnetif Manage Mode command, verify that IPX RIP send and receive control is enabled for the LAN interface.

Using CFGEDIT (under IPX network interfaces) enable RIP send and receive control if it is not already enabled.

4.If the route does not exist, or the route is a static entry, then verify that the CyberSWITCH and the local NetWare server are using the same packet encapsulation. To check the type of encapsulation, use the ipxnetif Manage Mode command. If they are not using the same encapsulation, then correct it either on the CyberSWITCH or the NetWare server.

5.Verify that the CyberSWITCH and the NetWare server are using the same external IPX network number for their mutual LAN (AA for this example). To check the network number that the CyberSWITCH is using, use the ipxnetif Manage Mode command. If they are not using the same external network number, then correct the problem.

IPX ROUTING OVER THE REMOTE LAN CONNECTION

Problem:

The system does not display the IPX messages indicating successful initiation on Remote LAN network.

Action:

Check the IPX network interface configuration. Refer to Configuring IPX Network Interfaces for details.

Problem:

Action:

Check IPX device information configuration. Refer to Remote LAN Devices for details.

Problem:

Data is not forwarded from the remote bridge to the router over the Remote LAN interface.

Action:

Check the configuration:

Verify Remote LAN interface configuration. Refer to Configuring IPX Network Interfaces for details.
