Determining Where NLSP Is Running in Your Network

If you have migrated your network to NLSP, you can identify which LANs on your IPX network are using NLSP or RIP---or both---as the routing protocol.

If you partitioned your IPX network into routing areas, note the following points:

• The procedure in this section shows only the LANs and NLSP routers that are within the same routing area as the system you are currently monitoring.
• RIP should be running only on the routers at area boundaries.

To find LANs on which NLSP or RIP is running, load IPXCON, select a system, and follow this path:

Select NLSP Information > LANs

The Known LANs window displays the following information about each NetWare LAN of which the local system is aware:

• Network Number--- External network number of the LAN
• Throughput--- Number of Mbps reported by the LAN board
• Delay--- Time, in microseconds, required for packets to reach the LAN

If NLSP is importing RIP routes to a LAN, the entry is labeled RIP Active. If the entry is labeled Unreachable, the LAN is no longer accessible from the local system. If there is no label, then NLSP is the only routing protocol running on the LAN and the LAN is reachable.

You can select one of the LANs to see which NLSP routers are on it.
