IPX Enhanced IGRP not
configured or is misconfigured
on the router
Step 4 Check the router configuration for an ipx router eigrp
autonomous-system-number global configuration command and
associated ipx network interface configuration commands.
Step 5 If these commands are not present, configure the Enhanced IGRP process
and then assign it to the appropriate interfaces with the ipx network
commands.
The following example enables RIP on networks 1 and 2 and Enhanced
IGRP on network 1:
ipx routing
!
interface ethernet 0
ipx network 1
!
interface ethernet 1
ipx network 2
!
ipx router eigrp 100
network 1
Missing ipx network command
on interface
Step 1 Use the show ipx interface privileged exec command to view the state of
all IPX interfaces.
Step 2 If the output indicates that there are no interfaces running IPX, or if an
interface that should be running IPX is not, you must configure the
appropriate interfaces with an IPX address.
To enable IPX protocol processing on an interface, enter the ipx network
number interface configuration command.
IPX RIP not enabled on network
with connected Novell servers
Novell servers do not understand IPX Enhanced IGRP. You must ensure that IPX
RIP is enabled on interfaces connected to LAN segments with attached Novell
servers.
Use the show running-config privileged exec command on suspect routers to view
the router configuration. Make sure that any interfaces connected to a LAN
segment with attached Novell servers have IPX RIP enabled.
It is not necessary to disable the other routing protocol, but running IPX Enhanced
IGRP and IPX RIP on the same interface can sometimes create performance
problems.
