Servers Installed with MA, IPX and IP

The Migration Agent can be enabled only in a NetWare 6 server installed with both IP and IPX. Figure 8 shows the relationship between the protocol stacks when installing a system with the MA enabled.

Notice that the MA makes use of the IPX router present in the IPX stack to route packets between the CMD network and the IPX networks.

NetWare 6 servers installed with the MA enabled are capable of communicating directly with other systems without regard for the install option used to install them. They are also capable of routing network traffic between IP and IPX systems.
