RIP. The output of an

ipx route

command contains a protocol (P) field for each route en-

try, which 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 re-
spond to the ping request. Contact Customer Support.

b.

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

ipxrip

Enable RIP if it is not already enabled.

c.

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.

d. 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.

e.

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.

To verify that IPX routing is properly operating over a WAN Remote LAN interface, a remote IPX
router (e.g., SITE1) must be operational and connected to the Remote LAN. The remote bridge
device (e.g., SITE2) must be operational and available to initiate connections.

1.

From the router (SITE1), verify that the IPX Remote LAN interface has initialized. On the
router’s administration console type:

dr

You should see messages stating that the IPX network has initialized successfully on xxxx.
Verify that “xxxx” is the network number of the Remote LAN.

2.

If the system does NOT display the IPX messages indicating successful initiation, try the
following
:

Check the IPX network interface configuration. Refer to

Configuring IPX Network Interfaces

for

details.

3.

Determine the router’s (SITE1) MAC address. From the router, issue the command:
