The IPX router will not send or acknowledge IPX configuration request packets
addressed to
• Network 0x00000000 (local network destination) or network 0xFFFFFFFF
• Host 0x000000000000 or host 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF (broadcast host
destination)
The IPX router will only respond to request packets sent directly to one of its
interface addresses. If you send a request packet from a router to an IPX interface
on that same router, the router does not send the request packet out onto the line.
Instead, the router sends the packet internally to the specified interface, which
then responds internally.
To send an IPX configuration request packet, proceed as follows:
1. Select Administration > Ping from Router > IPX.
The IPX Ping window appears
(Figure 7-13).

Note: The IPX router will respond (reply with a ping response) to any ping
packet that comes in on socket number 9086 and that has a type field of 0.
