Sem 3 V1 Chapter 7 Novell IPX

So far we have studied the TCP/IP protocol in depth. Another common protocol that is implemented in the networking industry is Novel’s IPX. IPX is similar to TCP/IP and will operate within the same network implementation and the same route provided you have a multiprotocol route. Some of its characteristics are: Used in a client / server environment Address is network.node Logical address contains interface MAC address IPX interface configuration supports multiple data-link encapsulations RIP uses the distance vectors of ticks and hops SAPs and GNS broadcasts function to connect clients and servers.

Most networks include a variety of vendor products, each one chosen for the powerful features it provides. Cisco’s routers offer the following features in Novell network environments: Access lists and filters for IPX, RIP, SAP, and NetBIOS Scalable routing protocols, including Enhanced IGRP and NLSP Configurable RIP and SAP updates and packet sizes Serverless LAN support Rich diagnostics, management, and troubleshooting features

Novell Netware Protocol Suite

Novell IPX is a proprietary suite of protocols and include the following: Datagram, connectionless protocol that does not require an acknowledgment for each packet. Layer 3 protocol that defines the internetwork and internode addresses. Novell NetWare uses: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to facilitate the exchange of routing information. Proprietary Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP) to advertise network services. NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) to provide client-to-server connections and applications. Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX) service for Layer 4 connection- oriented services. The NetWare protocol stack supports all common media access protocols. The data link and physical layers are accessed through the Open Data Link (ODI) interface.

A Novell IPX address has 80 bits: 32 bits for the network number and 48 bits for the node number.

Novell IPX addressing uses a two-part address, the network number and the node number. The IPX network number can be up to 8 hexadecimal digits in length. Usually, only the significant digits are listed. This number is assigned by the network administrator.

The example features the IPX network 4a1d and 3f. The IPX node number is 12 hexadecimal digits in length. This number is usually the MAC address obtained from a network interface that has a MAC address. The example features the IPX node c56.de33 on the 4a1d network. Another node address is c56.de34 on the 3f. Each interface retains its own address. The use of the MAC address in the logical IPX address eliminates the need for an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

You can Telnet to the neighbor router and use the Show Protocols or Show IPX Interface command. If the neighbor router is not a Cisco router (for example, a NetWare PC-based router, or a NetWare file server), you may be able to attach or log in and use the NetWare config utility to determine the address. If the neighbor router is another Cisco router, you can use a Cisco IOS command to show Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) neighbor details.

Ethernet 802.3—Also called raw Ethernet and is the default for NetWare versions 2 through Ethernet 802.2—The default for NetWare 3.12 and also used for OSI routing. Ethernet II—Used with TCP/IP. Ethernet SNAP—Used with TCP/IP and AppleTalk.

When you configure an IPX network, you may need to specify an encapsulation type on either the Novell servers and clients or on the Cisco router. When you configure Cisco IOS software for Novell IPX, use the Cisco name for the appropriate encapsulation. Make sure the encapsulations on the clients, servers, and routers all match. If you do not specify an encapsulation type when you configure the router for IPX, the router will use the default encapsulation type on its interfaces. The default encapsulation types on Cisco router interfaces and their keywords are: Ethernet—novell-ether Token Ring—sap FDDI—snap

Novell RIP checks its two distance vector metrics by first comparing the ticks for path alternatives. If two or more paths have the same tick value, Novell RIP compares the hop count. If two or more paths have the same hop count, the router will load share based on the IPX maximum-paths command. Novell RIP is a distance vector routing protocol. Novell RIP uses two metrics to make routing decisions: ticks (a time measure) and hop count (a count of each router traversed).

A “best information” split-horizon algorithm prevents the neighbor from broadcasting Novell RIP tables about IPX information back to the networks from where it received that information. Novell RIP also uses an information aging mechanism to handle conditions where an IPX enabled router goes down without any explicit message to its neighbors. Periodic updates reset the aging timer. Routing table updates are sent at 60-second intervals. This update frequency can cause excessive overhead traffic on some internetworks.

All servers and routers keep a complete list of the services available throughout the network in server information tables. Like RIP, SAP also uses an aging mechanism to identify and remove table entries that become invalid. Routers do not forward SAP broadcasts. Instead, each router builds its own SAP table and forwards the SAP table to other routers. By default this occurs every 60 seconds All the servers on NetWare internetworks can advertise their services and addresses. Adding, finding, and removing services on the internetwork is dynamic because of SAP advertisements. Each SAP service is an object type identified by a hexadecimal number. Examples: 4 NetWare file server 7 Print server 24 Remote bridge server (router)

The NetWare client/server interaction begins when the client powers up and runs its client startup programs. These programs use the client’s network adapter on the LAN and initiate the connection sequence for the NetWare shell to use. GNS is a broadcast that comes from a client using SAP. The nearest NetWare file server responds with another SAP; the protocol type is Give Nearest Server. From that point on, the client can log in to the target server, make a connection, set the packet size, and proceed to use server resources.

Interface tasks: Assign unique network numbers to each interface. Multiple network numbers can be assigned to an interface, allowing support of different encapsulation types. Set the optional encapsulation type if it is different from the default. Configuration of the router for IPX routing involves both global and interface parameters. Global tasks: Start the IPX routing process. Enable load sharing if appropriate for your network. Load sharing is the use of 2 or more paths to route packets to the same destination evenly among multiple routers to balance the work and improve network performance.

The ipx routing command enables Novell IPX routing. If no node address is specified, the Cisco router uses the MAC address of the interface. If a Cisco router has only serial interfaces, an address must be specified. The ipx maximum-paths command enables load sharing. ipx maximum-paths paths Maximum number of parallel paths to the destination; the default is 1 and the maximum is 512.

To assign network numbers to interfaces that support multiple networks, you normally use subinterfaces. A subinterface is a mechanism that allows a single physical interface to support multiple logical interfaces or networks. That is, several logical interfaces or networks can be associated with a single hardware interface.

ipx routing Selects IPX for routing, and starts IPX RIP. ipx maximum-paths 2 Allows load sharing over parallel metric paths to the destination. The number of parallel paths used is limited to two. interface ethernet 0.1 Indicates the first subinterface on interface E0. encapsulation novell-ether Specifies that Novell's unique frame format is used on this network segment. Cisco's keyword is novell-ether; Novell's terminology is Ethernet_ ipx network 6c Network number assigned to subinterface E0.2. encapsulation sap Specifies that Ethernet frame format is used on this network segment. Cisco's keyword is sap. ipx network 9e Network number assigned to subinterface E0.1. interface ethernet 0.2 Indicates the second subinterface on interface E0.

show ipx route command displays the contents of the IPX routing table. The information was learned from a RIP update. The network is number It is located six ticks or one hop away c03.13d3. The information was updated 23 seconds ago. The next hop router is reachable out interface Serial 1. The entry also shows an equal metric route to a different next hop router, reachable through interface Serial 0 (for load sharing). The second line of highlighting provides information about a direct connection: The network number is The encapsulation type is NOVELL-ETHER.

The show ipx servers command lists the IPX servers discovered through SAP advertisements. This example provides the following information: The service learned about the server from a SAP update The server name, network location, device address, and source socket number The ticks and hops for the route (taken from the routing table) The number of hops (taken from the SAP protocol) The interface through which to reach the server

The show ipx traffic command displays information about the number and type of IPX packets received and transmitted by the router.

The debug ipx routing activity command displays information about IPX routing update packets that are transmitted or received.

The debug ipx sap command displays information about IPX SAP packets that are transmitted or received. Like RIP updates, these SAP updates are sent every 60 seconds and may contain multiple packets. Each SAP packet appears as multiple lines in the output, including a packet summary message and a service detail message. SAP responses may be one of these types: 0x1—General query 0x2—General response 0x3—Get Nearest Server request 0x4—Get Nearest Server response The End
