Viewing the MacIPX Gateway Configuration

To view information about the configuration and operation of a MacIPX

gateway, enter the following command at the server prompt:

LOAD MACIPXGW SHOW=YES

This command does not reload the MacIPX gateway, but instead displays
information about the MacIPX gateway and the AppleTalk networks that it
serves, as in the following example:

MACIPXGW:

Unicast threshold set at 1.

AppleTalk nets this gateway is configured to serve:

10-20 111 2222-2223 3333-3335

AppleTalk nodes registered for IPX broadcasts:

IPX node: 0xffffffffffff

Socket: 0x452

10.238 1501.138 1502.168

Socket: 0x453

The information in the preceding example includes the following items:

The unicast threshold

The network numbers of all AppleTalk networks served by this gateway

All AppleTalk nodes currently registered with the MacIPX gateway for
broadcasts and identified by the IPX socket

Viewing MacIPX Gateway Statistics

To view MacIPX gateway statistics, load MONITOR and select the following
parameter path:

Select LAN/WAN Information > MACIPXGW

A screen displays the statistics explained in
