Re: Using Sniffer to detect IPX Network and IPX Frame Type

     A good tip when you have routers in IPX environment connected via ethernet
,
and when configuring one router you donīt know the correct network/encap, confi
g
a random ipx network and encapsulation in the router. Debug the ipx routing
process and packets. If the encap is correct, the router will start receiving
routing packets from the remote, but will not recognize them (due the bad ipx
network number). Then with the debug on, you can see the correct ipx network
number on incoming packets...
     Span is a resource for monitoring traffic on a Catalyst. You can use for
example a port to monitor the activity on a VLAN or on defined ports....

Subject: Using Sniffer to detect IPX Network and IPX Frame Type

Hello.

I dont have experience of using any Sniffer product.

I have just ordered an Evaluation CD from of 'Sniffer'. Please give me
tips how to detect IPX Network and Frame Type using Sniffer.

If I am working on a Catalyst Switch, the guy on phone told
me that I need to configure some Span Port to do this.

Please give me tips , what are the main points I have to
consider to detect Net and Frame Type

TIA
KHURRAM.
