IPX Counters
This option displays the IPX Counters for the router (for all the router). The following information is displayed:
Rx total
The total number of IPX packets received by the router.
Rx SAP requests
The number of SAP requests received by the router.
Rx SAP response
The number of responses to SAP requests received by the router.
Rx RIP requests
The number of RIP requests received by the router.
Rx RIP response
The number of responses to RIP requests received by the router.
Rx Type 20
The number of Type 20 packets received by the router. Type 20 packets are used to
propagate packets from protocols that can not be propagated in other ways, NetBIOS for
example.
Tx total
The total number of IPX packets transmitted by the router.
Tx SAP request
The number of SAP requests transmitted by the router.
Tx SAP reply
The number of SAP replies in response to SAP requests transmitted by the router.
Tx RIP request
The number of RIP requests transmitted by the router.
Tx RIP response
The number of RIP replies in response to RIP requests transmitted by the router.
Tx Type 20
The number of Type 20 packets transmitted by the router. Type 20 packets are used to
propagate packets from protocols which cannot be propagated in other ways, NetBIOS for
example. Type 20 packets will only be forwarded if enabled in the configuration for the
router.
Tx failed
The number of packets that were discarded because a link in the router was congested.
Rx too many hops
The number of packets received by the router that were discarded because the transport
control field (the hop count) was greater than 14.
Rx header errors
The number of packets that were discarded by the router because of a wrong packet
length:
Rx SAP invalid
The number of SAP packets received by the router which were neither requests nor
responses.
No route
The number of packets received by the router that could not be forwarded because a
route to the network is not known by the router.
Rx discarded
The number of error-free IPX packets received by the router that were discarded, for
example due to overloads.
Rx RIP invalid
The number of RIP packets received by the router which were neither requests nor
responses or were from an invalid network number.
Type 20 discarded
Number of Type 20 Packets received by the router that were discarded (not broadcast).
Cache hits
The number of packets that were found in the IPX cache for the router.
Forwarded
The number of packets transmitted by the router that were received on another link.
