Checking an IPX Network for Inactive Routers

You can use IPXCON to identify routers on your network that are inactive---that is, not routing---for some reason. This information can often help you locate a defective network interface. To check your network for inactive routers, load IPXCON and follow this path:

Select NLSP Information > Routers

IPXCON lists the NLSP routers known to the system you are monitoring.

Any router labeled Unreachable might either be down or have a defective network interface. This labeling might also indicate that some other router in the path has one of these problems.

Any router labeled Overloaded has run out of memory and can no longer process NLSP routing information.

Routers not labeled Unreachable or Overloaded are operating properly.
