ipx: IPX Information Base
The “ipx” information base is a composed of: (1) a set of variables that
describe transmission and reception of packets across each IPX
interface, (2) a set of variables that describe aggregate Internet
Datagram Protocol (IDP) activity, (3) an IPX addressing table, (4) a SAP
table, and (5) an IPX routing table. You can also use NCL’s Rgetir and
Rgetis commands to access the tables. The structure is the following:
ipx
if the interface-specific IPX address
(hexadecimal) branch (see subheading)
variables the interface-specific variables
mib the IDP protocol branch
(see subheading)
idp
variables the IDP protocol variables
The pathnames are constructed as follows:
ipx.if.variable
ipx.mib.idp.variable
The variables are listed alphabetically under two branches:
Interface Specific
drop contains the total number of IDP datagrams dropped (for
whatever reason) by interface if.
rx contains the total number of IDP datagrams received by
interface if.
tx contains the total number of IDP datagrams transmitted by
interface if.
ulp contains the total number of IDP datagrams delivered to be
processed by an upper-level protocol (for example, RIP, Echo, Error).
