Common Problems

card on each router. One of the routers you should start with is the
next-hop router. Repeat these steps until you find the destination
network number. If you do not find a duplicate network number in
either direction, check each link in the path for errors.
To isolate and resolve problems with NLSP, complete the following steps:
1
Determine connectivity.
Verify that all neighbors are displayed under the NLSP Neighbors
option in IPXCON. This will determine whether there is local
connectivity.
Verify that there are sufficient potential paths within each area.
Verify that all LANs are listed in the NLSP LANs table in IPXCON.
Verify that all NLSP routers are listed in the NLSP Routers table in
IPXCON.
2
Determine whether RIP is active.
Verify that the NLSP LANs window indicates that RIP packets are
being absorbed.
Verify that the Circuits table indicates the state of any system.
