Using the IPXPING Command
The
ipxping
command is used to test the reachability of certain types of IPX nodes. The soft-
ware supports two different types of IPX pings:
• Novell-defined, which can test the reachability of NetWare servers currently running the
NetWare Loadable Module called IPXRTR.NLM. This type
cannot
be used to reach
NetWare workstations running IPXODI. Novell uses a unique type of ping for this purpose
(implemented by their IPXPNG.EXE program) which is not currently supported by the
switch software. Other vendors’ switches may respond to this type of ping.
• Alcatel-proprietary, which can test the reachability of Omni Switch/Routers on which IPX
routing has been enabled.
Network devices that do not recognize the specific type of IPX ping request sent from the
switch will not respond at all. The lack of a response does not necessarily mean that a
specific network device is inactive or missing. Therefore, you might want to try using both
types before concluding that the network device is “unreachable.”

Note
♦
The
ipxping
command does not work over
FDDI
trunk-
ing with Token Ring
SNAP
or
LLC
encapsulation. It does
work with Token Ring
SNAP
or
LLC
encapsulation over
other media types.
Follow the steps below to issue an IPX ping request.
1.
Enter
ipxping
.
A screen similar to the following displays:
Dest Net () : 304
Enter the Destination Network of the node that you want to ping.
2.
The following prompt displays:
Dest Node (format - xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) () : 00:20:da:05:f6:94
Enter the Destination Node that you want to ping.
♦
Note
♦
If you are attempting to ping an interface that is speci-
fied with a noncanonical address, you must specify a
noncanonical address for the ping.
3.
The following prompt displays:
Count (0 for infinite) (1) : 245
Enter a number to indicate the number of packets to be sent out. An entry of 0 (zero) will
create an infinite count (press
<Enter>
to cancel). The default count is 1 (one).
4.
The following prompt displays:
Size (64) :
Enter a number to indicate the number of data bytes included in the packet. The default
size is 64.
