The Ping IPX Command
By either telnetting into a remote router or using the show cdp neighbor
detail
or show cdp entry * commands, you can find the IPX address of a
neighbor router. This will allow you to ping that address with IPX and test
your internetwork.
You can ping an IPX address from a router through a regular ping or
through an extended ping. The following command was run on Router C
and was used to find the IPX network address for Router B.
RouterC#sh cdp entry *
-------------------------
Device ID: RouterB
Entry address(es):
IP address: 172.16.40.1
Novell address: 40.0000.0c8d.5c9d
Platform: cisco 2500, Capabilities: Router
Interface: Serial0, Port ID (outgoing port): Serial1
Holdtime : 155 sec
Now that you have the IPX address for Router B, you can ping the router.
You can use the ping ipx address command from any router prompt, as
shown below:
RouterC#ping ipx 40.0000.0c8d.5c9d
Sending 5, 100-byte IPX Novell Echoes to
40.0000.0c8d.5c9d, timeout is 2 seconds:
