Page 4: Configuring Ipx
Configuring IPX IPX is a network layer protocol of NetWare that can be used by the HP A-MSR Router Series. Its position in NetWare is similar to IP’s position in TCP/IP. It implements such functions as address filling, routing and packet forwarding. -
Page 5: Netbios
Initializing NetWare client When a NetWare client is initializing, it needs to locate a server. To do so, the client broadcasts a GNS request. At least one router or server can give a SAP response, which contains information such as packet type, service type, and server name and address. -
Page 6: Configuring Ipx Routing
The VLAN interface uses its own MAC address as the node address. You need not specify a node address when enabling IPX. Step Command Remarks Enter system view. system-view — Required. Enable IPX protocol. ipx enable [ node node ] Disabled by default. -
Page 7: Configuring Ipx Route Number Limitation
Configuring IPX route number limitation In IPX, the maximum number of static and dynamic routes to the same destination address permitted in the routing table can be configured. The number of equivalent routes for load balancing can also be configured. The two configurations have no direct relation, so changing one of the configurations does not affect the other. -
Page 8: Configuring Ipx Rip Parameters
Configuring IPX RIP parameters Step Command Remarks Enter system view. system-view — Optional. The default is 60 seconds. The IPX RIP update interval must be identical on all routers in the network to keep Specify an IPX RIP update ipx rip timer update consistency of routing tables. -
Page 9: Configuring Ipx Sap Timers
Configuring IPX SAP timers In a large network, IPX SAP broadcasts may occupy much bandwidth. Changing IPX SAP update interval is an effective way to reduce bandwidth occupation. You can configure IPX SAP aging interval as a value multiple times the update interval. During configuration you should make sure that all servers and routers on the network have the same SAP updating interval. -
Page 10: Configuring Ipx Service Information
Configuring IPX service information Typically, a client only uses the service advertised by NetWare server and saved by the advising router. In order that the client can always use a specific service, static service information can be manually added to the service information table. -
Page 11: Configuring The Ipx Forwarding Feature
Configuring the IPX forwarding feature Configuration prerequisite You need configure IPX basic functions before this task. Configuring triggered updating IPX RIP and SAP periodically broadcast updating packets. With the triggered updating feature enabled, updating packets are sent only upon route or service information changes, and flooding of broadcasts can be avoided. -
Page 12: Pinging An Ipx Network
Pinging an IPX network Configuration prerequisites You must complete the IPX basic configuration before this task. Configuration procedure Task Command Remarks Required. Ping an IPX network to check ping ipx network.node [ -c count | connectivity. -s size | -t timeout ] * Available in any view. -
Page 13: Ipx Configuration Example
IPX configuration example Networking requirements Figure 1 shows the network requirements. Router A and Router B are connected through an IPX network. The IPX address of Ethernet 1/1 on Router A is 1000.00e0-fc01-0000 and that on Router B is 1001.00e0-fc01-0001. The server is installed with NetWare 4.1 and its IPX address is 2.0000-0c91-f61f, packet encapsulation ... - Page 14 # Enable IPX. <RouterB> system-view [RouterB] ipx enable # Enable IPX on the interface Ethernet 1/2, with the network ID being 3. [RouterB] interface ethernet 1/2 [RouterB-Ethernet1/2] ipx network 3 # Set the packet encapsulation format on the Ethernet interface to Ethernet_SNAP. [RouterB-Ethernet1/2] ipx encapsulation snap [RouterB-Ethernet1/2] quit # Enable IPX on the interface Ethernet 1/1, with the network ID being 1001.

Page 15: Troubleshooting Ipx Configuration
Troubleshooting IPX configuration IPX forwarding failure Symptom 1 IPX cannot go up on a PPP link. Solution Confirm whether network IDs of both ends of the link are the same. Reconfigure them if they are different. Confirm whether node IDs of both ends of the link are different. Reconfigure them if they are the same. ... -
Page 16: Troubleshooting Ipx Rip
Symptom 5 IPX type 20 packets cannot be transmitted to any other network segment. Solution Use display ipx interface to check whether the forwarding for IPX type 20 packets is enabled on the receive/send interfaces. If it is not enabled, IPX type 20 packets cannot be forwarded. Enable IPX packet debugging using debugging ipx packet. -

Troubleshooting IPX SAP Symptom 1 Unable to add a static service information item to SIT Solution Use display ipx service-table inactive to see whether the item is inactive. If so, it indicates that no active route to the destination server exists. ... -

Symptom 5 No updates sent out from an interface. Solution Use debugging ipx packet and debugging ipx sap packet verbose to check packet contents. If such update packets are displayed in debugging information, possibly the SAP MTU is larger than the interface MTU. - Page 19 Symptom 2 The router received a route from a neighbor router, but the route cannot be found using display ipx routing-table verbose. Solution Use display current-configuration to check whether the maximum dynamic route number is configured on a per network ID basis, with ipx route max-reserve-path. If it is not configured, the default value 4 is used.
