RIP and SAP are automatically enabled when the ipx network command is issued on an IPX
interface. Therefore, in this example, no routing protocol is configured.
Troubleshooting IPX configuration
Troubleshooting IPX forwarding failure
IPX cannot go up on a PPP link
•
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.
Failed to ping a destination address
•
Confirm whether the destination address is correct.
•
Use the display ipx interface command to check the interface configuration. The network ID
and IPX frame encapsulation format on the directly connected interfaces must be the same.
•
Use the display ipx routing-table command to display routing information. Check whether a
route to the destination network is available.
