Table8-13 Novell IPX: Slow Performance (continued)
Possible Problem
Solution
IPX RIP and IPX Enhanced
IGRP are enabled on the same
interface.
Running both IPX Enhanced IGRP and IPX RIP on
the same interface is sometimes desired or required in
an IPX network. However, doing so can cause
performance problems in some cases by creating
excess traffic and processor overhead.
Use the
show running-config
privileged exec
command to view the router configuration.
Check the
network
router configuration
commands associated with
ipx router rip
and
the
ipx router eigrp
global configuration
commands to see whether both routing protocols
are enabled on the same interface.
1.
If both protocols are enabled, determine whether
one or the other can be disabled without affecting
the proper operation of the network. If there is no
need for both protocols to be running on the same
interface, remove the superfluous configuration
commands as appropriate.
2.
Router is stuck in active mode
(EIGRP only).
If you consistently receive “Stuck-in-Active”
messages about a particular network, you probably
have a flapping route (typically caused by heavy
traffic load).
Route flapping can force routers to use a less
preferred route, resulting in slower performance.
Take steps to reduce traffic on the link, or increase the
bandwidth of the link.
For more information about troubleshooting serial
lines, refer to Chapter 15.
