The Novell NetWare Protocol Suite


Novell Protocols• Novell Netware is a proprietary suite of protocols and

includes the following: – IPX, a connectionless Layer 3 protocol, that does not require

an acknowledgment for each packet and defines the network and node addresses

– Novell Routing Information Protocol (RIP), which is different from IP RIP, to facilitate the exchange of routing information

– Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) to advertise network services

– NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) to provide client-to-server connections and applications

– Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX) service for Layer 4 connection-oriented services


IPX Features


IPX Characteristics • It is used exclusively in a client/server environment. • It uses the network.node IPX addressing structure. • Its logical address contains an interface MAC

address. • IPX interface configuration supports multiple data-

link encapsulations (to support outdated IOS applications).

• Novell RIP uses the distance-vector metrics of ticks and then hops.

• Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP) and Get Nearest Server (GNS) broadcasts connect clients and servers.


IPX Addressing

The recommended way to get a Novell network address is to ask the network administrator.

If you cannot get the address from the network administrator, you can get the IPX address directly from a neighbor router.

Telnet to the neighbor router and use the show protocols or show ipx interface command.
