Determining Where NLSP Is Running in Your Network

Finding NLSP Routers with Insufficient Memory

If you have migrated your network to NLSP, you can identify which LANs on
your IPX network are using NLSP or RIP—or both—as the routing protocol.
If you partitioned your IPX network into routing areas, note the following
points:
The procedure in this section shows only the LANs and NLSP routers that
are within the same routing area as the system you are currently
monitoring.
RIP should be running only on the routers at area boundaries.
To find LANs on which NLSP or RIP is running, load IPXCON, select a
system, and follow this path:
Select NLSP Information > LANs
The Known LANs window displays the following information about each
NetWare LAN of which the local system is aware:
Network Number— External network number of the LAN
Throughput— Number of Mbps reported by the LAN board
Delay— Time, in microseconds, required for packets to reach the LAN
If NLSP is importing RIP routes to a LAN, the entry is labeled RIP Active. If
the entry is labeled Unreachable, the LAN is no longer accessible from the
local system. If there is no label, then NLSP is the only routing protocol
running on the LAN and the LAN is reachable.
You can select one of the LANs to see which NLSP routers are on it.
To check your network for routers that have run out of memory, load IPXCON
and follow this path:
Select NLSP Information > Routers
If a router does not have enough memory to process routing information, the
entry is labeled Overloaded.
