Troubleshooting IPX Configurations
No Routes are Visible to the Remote Router
1. Check the PPP link
To check that the PPP link is active, enter the command:
SHOW PPP
The display should look like that shown in Figure 31 on page 121. The state
of the IPX control protocol (IPXCP) should be “OPENED”. If not, then the
fault lies with the connection between the two switches, or the PPP
configuration at either end of the link.
Figure 31: Example output from the SHOW PPP command for a basic Novell IPX network.
To interpret output from the SHOW PPP command see the Point-to Point
(PPP) chapter in the Rapier Series Switch Software Reference.
2. Check IPX circuit configuration
To check that the IPX circuits are correctly configured on each switch
repeat steps 1 through 3 above, or enter the command:
SHOW IPX CIRCUIT
Check that there are two circuits, and for each circuit check that the circuit
is enabled, uses the correct interface and encapsulation (for Ethernet
interfaces), the network number is correct and “On demand” is set to “no”.
If not, then repeat steps 1 through 3.
3. Contact your authorised distributor or reseller for assistance
If you still have no visible routes to the remote switch, contact your
authorised distributor or reseller for assistance.
