show ipx servers
The show ipx servers command displays all servers known to the router
through SAP advertisements. Recall that, in the absence of filters, this list
should include all resources in the internetwork. If elements are missing,
there may be an issue with access lists, down interfaces, down networks, con-
gestion, or frame types.
This command is also useful for locating duplicate network numbers:
Router_A#show ipx servers
Codes: S - Static, P - Periodic, E - EIGRP, N - NLSP,
H - Holddown, + = detail
117 Total IPX Servers
Table ordering is based on routing and server info
Type Name Net Address Port Route Hops Itf
P+ 4 SRV-00001 1.0000.0000.0001:0451 4/03 3 Hs3/0
P+ 4 SRV-00002 2.0000.0000.0001:0451 4/03 3 Hs3/0
Note that the MAC addresses in this display are 00:00:00:00:00:01. This
is the internal IPX network address indicator; and the first server, SRV-
00001, has an internal IPX network number of 1.
show ipx traffic
The show ipx traffic command reports information about the IPX pack-
ets transmitted and received. This breakdown includes information regard-
ing IPX SAPs and watchdog packets, as well as IPX RIP, IPX EIGRP, and
NLSP routing packets. A sample of this information is presented as follows:
