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 25 on page 129. The state
of the IPX control protocol (IPXCP) should be “OPENED”. If not, then the
fault lies with the connection between the two routers, or the PPP
configuration at either end of the link.
Figure 25: 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 AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
2. Check IPX circuit configuration
To check that the IPX circuits are correctly configured on each router 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 router, contact your
authorised distributor or reseller for assistance.
