USER’S GUIDE448 CyberSWITCHRIP. The output of anipx route command contains a protocol (P) field for each route en-try, which indicate if it is static (L- locally configured) or dynamically learned via RIP (R).If it is learned via RIP, then basic communication between the CyberSWITCH and the localNetWare server is operational, and it is uncertain why the NetWare server does not re-spond to the ping request. Contact Customer Support.b. Verify that RIP protocol is enabled by entering the following Mange Mode command:ipxripEnable RIP if it is not already enabled.c. Using theipxnetif Manage Mode command, verify that IPX RIP send and receivecontrol is enabled for the LAN interface.Using CFGEDIT (under IPX network interfaces) enable RIP send and receive control if it isnot already enabled.d. If the route does not exist, or the route is a static entry, then verify that the CyberSWITCHand the local NetWare server are using the same packet encapsulation. To check the typeof encapsulation, use theipxnetif Manage Mode command. If they are not using thesame encapsulation, then correct it either on the CyberSWITCH or the NetWare server.e. Verify that the CyberSWITCH and the NetWare server are using the same external IPXnetwork number for their mutual LAN (AA for this example). To check the networknumber that the CyberSWITCH is using, use theipxnetif Manage Mode command. Ifthey are not using the same external network number, then correct the problem.IPX REMOTE LAN CONNECTIONTo verify that IPX routing is properly operating over a WAN Remote LAN interface, a remote IPXrouter (e.g., SITE1) must be operational and connected to the Remote LAN. The remote bridgedevice (e.g., SITE2) must be operational and available to initiate connections.1. From the router (SITE1), verify that the IPX Remote LAN interface has initialized. On therouter’s administration console type:drYou should see messages stating that the IPX network has initialized successfully on xxxx.Verify that “xxxx” is the network number of the Remote LAN.2. If the system does NOT display the IPX messages indicating successful initiation, try thefollowing:Check the IPX network interface configuration. Refer to Configuring IPX Network Interfaces fordetails.3. Determine the router’s (SITE1) MAC address. From the router, issue the command:ver
