IPX over INTERFACE MULTILINK

[konasc]

Has anyone gotten IPX to run over INTERFACE MULTILINK? I've gotten it to work with Virtual-templates & ipx ppp-client loopback, but no success when trying to use INTERFACE MULTILINK.

Works fine over Multilink interfaces.

Here is a RIP (IPX learned) network learned over a Multi link interface and a ping

R DD [31/01] via AA.aabb.cc00.2000, 6s, Mu1

R FF [31/01] via AA.aabb.cc00.2000, 7s, Mu1

R1#ping

Protocol [ip]: ipx

Target IPX address: dd.aabb.cc00.2001

Repeat count [5]:

Datagram size [100]:

Timeout in seconds [2]:

Verbose [n]:

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte IPX Novell Echoes to DD.aabb.cc00.2001, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 100/117/132 ms

Is your Multilink showing up/up. Do you have IPX network assigned to your Multilink interface? If so, could you pls send your config (Multilink specific and IPX) so we can try to help you.

Hope this helps,

Router 1 which is the remote show the ip routes going over Mu1 fine. When I do a show IPX server all I see is the servers on the LAN side. This works fine using virtual-templates and ipx-ppp client.
