Determining Which IPX Services Are Reachable

Checking an IPX Network for Inactive Routers

Checking the IPX Routing Table

If you want to know whether a specific IPX service is available, you need to
find out which IPX services are reachable. To determine the services available
to a router, load IPXCON and follow this path:
Select Services > service you want to reach to get information about
If a service is visible, it is reachable. If you want to see information about a
service, select the service and press Enter. The Service Information window
displays Name, Type, Network Number, Node, Socket, and additional path
information for NLSP systems under the selection Destination Information.
You can use IPXCON to identify routers on your network that are inactive—
that is, not routing—for some reason. This information can often help you
locate a defective network interface. To check your network for inactive
routers, load IPXCON and follow this path:
Select NLSP Information > Routers
IPXCON lists the NLSP routers known to the system you are monitoring.
Any router labeled Unreachable might either be down or have a defective
network interface. This labeling might also indicate that some other router in
the path has one of these problems.
Any router labeled Overloaded has run out of memory and can no longer
process NLSP routing information.
Routers not labeled Unreachable or Overloaded are operating properly.
To check the IPX routing table and information associated with each route,
load IPXCON and follow this path:
Select Forwarding > Display entire forwarding table
The Forwarding Table window shows you all known IPX destination
networks. The list shows the following information about each item:
Network number of the destination
Routing protocol through which the destination was learned
