IPX/SPX Subagent (G-Series)
The IPX/SPX Subagent facilitates the management of NonStop IPX/SPX processes
known as IPX/SPX Protocol (IPXPROTO) processes. NonStop IPX/SPX is an HP
software product that provides access to NonStop Kernel systems over an Ethernet or
Token Ring LAN using Novell’s NetWare protocol suite: Internetwork Packet
Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX). IPXPROTO processes provide
support for NetWare protocols (IPX, SPX, NCP, RIP, and SAP), enabling connectivity,
over a local area network (LAN) between NonStop Kernel systems and products using
the protocols.
The subagent supports one of the groups in Novell’s Management Information Base
(MIB) as well as several groups defined by HP containing objects that help you
manage IPXPROTO processes and the subagent process itself.
Architectural Overview
As Figure 13-1 indicates, NonStop IPX/SPX consists of one NonStop IPX/SPX
Manager (IPXMGR) process and one or more IPXPROTO processes per node.
