Cabletron Systems CSX1000, CSX1200 manual IPX Routing Over the WAN Connection

USER’S GUIDE

6.Verify device configuration on remote bridge. Bridge devices should be configured to make calls over the interface defined to go to the router.

Problem:

The router does not forward typical data (RIP, SAP, Type 20 packets) to the remote bridge.

Action:

1.Make sure a call is up. Remember, the router cannot forward data if there is no previous connection (i.e., router currently does not support dial-out).

2.Check IPX device information on the router side. Refer to Remote LAN Devices for details.

Problem:

Data is not received by a remote client (or server) on a Remote LAN network, but the call does come up between the router and the remote bridge.

Action:

1.Double check and resolve any configuration/connection problems for the client (or server) to the bridge on the Remote LAN. (Basically, eliminate the possibility of any LAN configuration problems which are unrelated to the Remote LAN interface).

2.If you determine the problem is related to the Remote LAN, verify the IPX Network Number for the remote bridge in the router’s configuration (under bridging properties). Refer to Remote LAN Devices for details.

IPX ROUTING OVER THE WAN CONNECTION

Problem:

The remote NetWare server does not appear in the NetWare client’s network neighborhood.

Action:

1.Verify that the routing entry for the remote NetWare’s internal network exists by entering the following command.

ipx route

If the route entry does not exist, add a static route to it using the ipxroute add command (Manage Mode) because no route information (RIP packets) are exchanged over the WAN connections.

2.Verify that the proper service entries of the remote NetWare server exist by entering the following console command:

ipx service

If the proper service entries do not exist, add static services using the ipxservice command (Manage Mode) because no service information (SAP packets) are exchanged over the WAN connections.

3.Verify that the CyberSWITCH has SAP processing enabled for the LAN interface by using the ixpnetif command (Manage Mode). If the SAP processing is not enabled, change the configuration for the network interface.
