Using the IPXCON Utility

IPXCON is an NLM utility that provides access to statistics and information about the status of various components of the IPX protocol. IPXCON uses SNMP over IPX or UDP/IP to monitor remote servers, routers or network segments.

• Display all paths through which IPX packets can flow
• Locate all active IPX routers on your internetwork
