Servers Installed With Ma, Ipx And Ip - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Servers Installed with MA, IPX and IP

NetWare clients installed with IP and IPX have the following capabilities:
They can establish NCP connections with pre-NetWare 6 servers or with
NetWare 6 servers installed with one of the install options that include
IPX.
They can establish NCP connections with NetWare 6 servers installed
with IP if the clients are able to obtain IP addresses for those servers.
They can establish NCP connections through a Migration Agent with
NetWare 6 servers installed with IP if the clients are only able to obtain
IPX addresses for those servers.
They can execute IPX applications and communicate directly with other
IPX nodes.
They can execute IPX applications and communicate through a Migration
Agent with NetWare 6 systems installed with IP.
Having a NetWare client installed with IP and IPX does not guarantee that the
client will be able to establish an NCP connection with a server installed with
IP without the use of a Migration Agent. The type of address obtained by the
client when trying to connect to a server determines the protocol stack utilized
to establish the connection. Applications that obtain address information from
the bindery will not be able to connect with servers installed with IP if there is
no Migration Agent installed, and if the client is installed with IP and IPX.
Notice that this problem does not exist if the client and the server are installed
with IP alone.
The Migration Agent can be enabled only in a NetWare 6 server installed with
both IP and IPX. Figure 8 on page 40
