IPX RIP: No Connectivity over IPX RIP Router (continued)
Possible Problem
Solution
Missing
ipx
network
commands on
interface
1.
Use the
show ipx interface
privileged exec command to
view the state of all IPX interfaces.
2.
If the output indicates that there are no interfaces running
IPX, or if an interface that should be running IPX is not, you
must configure the appropriate interfaces with an IPX
address. The Novell server administrator can provide the
IPX network
number
for the segment to which your router
is attached.
To enable IPX protocol processing on an interface, enter the
ipx
network
number
interface configuration command:
ipx network

Syntax description
:
network
—Network number. This is an eight-digit
hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable
segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFE.
You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network
number. For example, for the network number 000000AA,
you can enter just
AA
.
•
encapsulation
encapsulation-type
—(Optional) Type of
encapsulation. It can be one of the following values:
•
arpa
—(For Ethernet interfaces only.) Use Novell's
Ethernet II encapsulation. This encapsulation is
recommended for networks that handle both TCP/IP and
IPX traffic.
-
hdlc
—(For serial interfaces only.) Use HDLC
encapsulation.
-
novell-ether
—(For Ethernet interfaces only.) Use
Novell's Ethernet 802.3 encapsulation. This
encapsulation consists of a standard 802.3 MAC header
followed directly by the IPX header with a checksum of
FFFF. It is the default encapsulation used by NetWare
Version 3.11.
-
sap
—
For Ethernet interfaces:
Use Novell's Ethernet
802.2 encapsulation. This encapsulation consists of a
standard 802.3 MAC header followed by an 802.2 LLC
header. This is the default encapsulation used by
NetWare Version 4.0.
For Token Ring interfaces:
This encapsulation consists
of a standard 802.5 MAC header followed by an 802.2
LLC header.
For FDDI interfaces:
This encapsulation consists of a
standard FDDI MAC header followed by an 802.2 LLC
header.
