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 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• IPX interface configuration supports multiple datalink encapsulations (to support outdated IOS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.
