Use this migration method when pure IP is desired but there is no immediate need to remove IPX from the network.This migration path requires migration of all applications from IPX to IP before IPX is disabled on the network.Applications are considered IPX applications if they use the interfaces provided by the IPX stack, or if they specify IPX addresses when trying to establish NCP connections. The best way to identify IPX applications is to run them on a test network on which IPX is absent (no IPX stacks loaded). Many applications let you specify the networking protocol to use when communicating.NetWare clients must be configured twice during the course of the migration. The cost of modifying client configurations can be minimized by taking advantage of the Automatic Client Upgrade feature for Novell Clients and the Workstation Manager feature of NDS®.If you later discover that applications require IPX, you must switch to one of the other migration strategies:
