IPX R OUTING O PERATIONAL ?
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.
IPX R OUTING OVER A LAN C ONNECTION
1. Determine if SITE1 can access the local NetWare Server “local.” On SITE1’s administration
console type:
ipx diag cc:1 <return>
Note: Node address 1 is used by the NetWare servers as part of their internal address.
2. If the system displays a response to the ipx diag command similar to:
received 3 components from cc:1
then IPX routing over that LAN port is operational.
3. If this message is NOT displayed, then IPX routing over the LAN connection is not operational
and the following message will most likely be displayed:
No response from <ipx-address>
a. 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
