SAP Errors and NDS syncronisation

[tobyheywood]

Hi folks,

I have just finished adding a second NW51 server to the NDS tree (across a WAN), now on the server console I'm getting IPXRTR errors (IPXRTR-6.60-4 and IPXRTR-6.60-2) "60:95 969 SAP Router configuration error detected. Node .... claims network address .... should be ...."

Is there any sort of table where I can remove the incorrect IPX number, or any recommendations for surpressing these error messages! Also could these error have any possible effect on NDS sycronisation?

I look forward to reading your comments, suggestions and thoughts on this matter!

This usually indicates that there is a device on the network which is not configured with the proper IPX settings. First, check the node address in the error message is not either of your servers. The address given is a MAC address.

You can also download a program called SAPSNOOP which gathers IPX SAP broadcasts on your network. This needs to be run on the site with the issue. When the program has been gathering data for a period of time (depends on the size fo your site), save the results to a txt file and search it for the node address in the error. You can then visit the offending device and fix it.

SAPSNOOP can be downloaded from

I have had this error before. You just have to load ipxcon and go to services. It will list all of the MAC Addresses and the names for the devices on your network. You can then go look at the problem device and make sure it is loading ipx to the correct network.

Hope this helps.
