Novell IPX: Client Cannot Connect to Server over ISDN
Possible Problem
Solution
Static RIP and
SAP statements
are missing or
have been
misconfigured.
1.
Use the
show running-config
privileged exec command to
view the router configuration. Check for
ipx route
and
ipx
sap
global configuration command entries.
Both commands, which specify static routes and static SAP
entries, respectively, are required in an ISDN environment so that
clients and servers on the local network are aware of clients and
servers on the remote network.
If you do not have static routes and static SAP entries
configured, configure them using the
ipx route
and
ipx sap
commands. For detailed information on configuring static
routes and SAP entries, refer to the
Cisco IOS Network
Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 1
and
Network
Protocols Command Reference, Part 1.
2.
Access lists
specified in dialer
lists have been
misconfigured.
1.
Use the
show running-config
privileged exec command to
view the router configuration. Check the access lists
configured for use by dialer lists.
2.
Make sure that the access lists deny only RIP routing
updates, SAP advertisements, and Novell serialization
packets. If other packets are denied, connectivity problems
can occur.
3.
Make sure that access lists end with an
access-list
access-list-number
permit -1
statement, which permits all
other IPX traffic to trigger the dialer.
