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.
