IPX Problem [7:42735]
I have a network where corporate is connected to 3 branch offices through Point to Point. The branch office are also connected together in a full mesh frame-relay toplogy as a backup. The corporate office is also connected to few other small branches in a hub and spoke frame-relay topology. I was running IPX RIP by default between those networks and response time between IPX hosts and servers was not really bad. I decided to make some more changes to decrease the latency by configuring IPX eigrp between WAN Links only and left RIP on LAN interfaces. Instead of decreasing the latency it increased it by 4 times. Before EIGRP I copied a file and it took about 20 seconds. Now it's taking almost 4 minutes. I am curious where I went wrong. All I did to enable IPX Router eigrp 2 advertised all my WAN networks. network network and so on. I then removed those WAN networks from RIP routing by IPX router rip no network no network and so on. Note: I am also running EIGRP 1 for IP network. I don't think that it will conflict since both have under different Autonomous systems. Any suggestions folks.

Re: IPX Problem [7:42735]
did anything else change? I ask because on the surface, everything is fine. IPX EIGRP should have no effect on your throughput. I ran an eight site dual homed IPX network for several years, with no WAN issues other than the usual telco related problems. I've done numerous labs. the so called AS numbers in EIGRP are not relevant. IPX and IP are different router processes, and there is no conflict there. are you seeing all routes in all router's tables? got a loop in there somewhere? accidentally shut down some interfaces? got a telco problem that occurred coincidentally? checked your interface counters, your process counters? done some debugs while doing the file transfers?

Re: IPX Problem [7:42735]
Did you know you can do trace route with IPX on Cisco routers? It's not just an IP thing. I suggest you try this. Maybe you caused some weird routing somehow. Your network sounds sort of complicated and non-hierarchical. Maybe the branch offices used to communicate directly and how they go through the core and out into the outer reaches and back again. Trace route would let you determine if this is happening. Good luck. Let us know what you discover. This is an interesting problem.
