Novell servers - rconsole list keeps changing
Hi all, My client has recently upgraded some of the Novell servers to version 5. These are IP capapble and do not use IPX any more. Does anyone have an idea how to see these servers, like "sho ipx serv" or reset by "clear ipx route *" ??? The reason for this is that from rconsole, the list of servers keeps changing - no problem with the IPX side of things. IP and IPX is being redistribute across the WAN using EIGRP Thanks in advance Andrew Larkins BCom, CCNA, CCDA Usko Communications Tel: +2711 800-9300 Fax: +2711 800-9495/6/7/8/9 Cell: +2783-656-7214 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This message may contain information which is confidential and subject to legal privilege.

Re: Novell servers - rconsole list keeps changing
If the Novell servers are 5.x using Pure IP, [no IPX] then you would need to load the SCMD module to get a virtual IPX stack on the server. This module has different switches on the command line, depending on whether it is connected to an IP/IPX/Both segment. This should match the servers in the other segments. "Display Servers" on the console is an IPX application - basically it will use SCMD to get the info it needs to display. If all the servers are not running scmd then they will not all appear in the console output. Novell's Appnotes are available freee on the website and discuss the design and operation of SCMD, and SLP. Also, for global visibility you should probably be implementing SLP with a Directory Agent [DA]. The DA registers the services available for a configurable, given part of the network. You run the DA on one server with other local servers pointing to it [use slp.cfg in the sys:etc directory]. A DA can register services for itself, or for a subnetwork. When you issue the Display SLP services command you should see a list of servers and services that server knows about. SCMD and SLP work to eliminate IPX RIP and SAP traffic. Previously, Netware advertised all available services. In NW5, using SCMD and SLP, services must be requested. As usual with Novell, this is very configurable - which means you can get better control of the network traffic, and into a lot of grief very quickly if you don't understand it. :-) The Appnotes will give you what you need to get it running.

Re: Novell servers - rconsole list keeps changing
If what you want to accomplish is see the same list in rconsole all the time the easy thing to do is to use Rconsole for NDS. It reads the information in NDS instead of a SAP list. If you want to continue use "Display servers" then you should follow the directions WKelly gave. But if you are trying to move to a pure IP environment use Rconsole for NDS is much more stable in a NetWare 5 environment.

Re: Novell servers - rconsole list keeps changing
If your NW5 servers arno longer running IPX you might be better off just using Console1 to administer the servers.
