This chapter describes the commands used to enable your router to function as a NetWare Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI) server. A NASI server enables a NASI client to connect to asynchronous network resources (such as modems) without having these resources located on the client's desktop.
For configuration tasks and examples, refer to the chapter "Configure Support for NASI Clients to Access Network Resources" in the Dial Solutions Configuration Guide.
To enable NetWare Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI) clients to connect to asynchronous devices attached to your router, use the ipx nasi-server enable global configuration command. To prevent NASI clients from connecting through a router, use the no form of this command.
ipx nasi-server enableThis command has no arguments or keywords.
NASI is not enabled.
Global configuration
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
When you issue this command, NASI clients can connect to any port on the router other than the console port to access network resources. When the user on the NASI client uses the Windows or DOS application to connect to the router, a list of available tty and vty lines appears, beginning with tty1. The user selects the desired outgoing tty or vty port.
You can configure TACACS+ security on the router so that after the user selects a tty or vty port, a username and password prompt appear for authentication, authorization, and accounting purposes.
The following example shows a minimum configuration to enable NASI client dial-in access with TACACS+ authentication:
ipx routing ipx internal-network ncs001 interface ethernet 0 ipx network 1 ipx nasi-server enable ! enable TACACS+ authentication for NASI clients using the list name swami aaa authentication nasi swami tacacs+ line 1 8 modem inout

To show the status of NetWare Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI) connections, use the show ipx nasi connections EXEC command.
show ipx nasi connectionsThis command has no arguments or keywords.
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The following is sample output from the show ipx nasi connections command:
router# show ipx nasi connections
NASI Remote: A001500::0020.afe5.3ec5:626C Local: ACBB::0000.0000.0001:2010
flags 0
NASI Remote: A001500::0020.afe5.3ec5:6E6C Local: ACBB::0000.0000.0001:20D0
flags 0
Connected to line 2 incount 0 outcount 0 OVF 0
The following sample display shows an incoming NASI connection on tty line 2:
router# show users
Line User Host(s) Idle Location
* 0 con 0 idle 1
2 tty 2 chris incoming 1 A001500.0020.afe5.3ec5
Table 115 describes fields from the show ipx nasi connections sample display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| NASI Remote |
|
|
Local | xxxxxxx::yyyyyyyyyy:zzzz is the local address associated to this connection on the router end of the link. |
| flags | A status bit that is used internally to allow and close connections. |
| Connected to line 2 | Appears only when the connection is associated with a tty port. Indicates that this NASI connection is attached to tty 2. |
| incount 0 | Data from the remote client. |
| outcount 0 | Data to be sent to the remote client. |
| OVF 0 | Refers to the number of times data could not be written to the tty line, because the buffers were full. Ideally, this counter should stay at 0. |

ipx nasi-server enable
show ipx spx-protocol
To view the status of the SPX protocol stack and related counters, use the show ipx spx-protocol command.
show ipx spx-protocolThis command has no arguments or keywords.
EXEC
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
The following is sample output from the show ipx spx-protocol command:
router> show ipx spx-protocol

Table 116 describes significant fields from this sample display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SPX socket: | IPX/SPX socket number. |
| state | Internal state. |
| connections: | Number of open connections for this IPX/SPX socket. |
| SPX Remote: xxxxxxx::yyyy:zzzz | The SPX client address for each SPX connection on this IPX/SPX socket, where xxxx is the client IPX network number, yyyy is the client IPX MAC address, and zzzz is the client SPX connection number. |
| SPX Local xxxxxxx::yyyy:zzzz | The local SPX address, where xxxx is local IPX network number, yyyy is the local IPX MAC address, and zzzz is the local SPX connection number. |
| state | Internal state. |
| flags | A status bit that is used internally to allow and close connections. |
| Queue counts | inQ, outQ, and unackedQ, as specified in the following three rows. |
| inq | Number of SPX packets available for the SPX application to read. |
| outQ | Number of SPX packets that must be sent to the remote client. |
| unackedQ | Number of SPX packets sent, but no packet was received by the client, so far. |
| Sequence: | SPX sequence number. Represents the sequence number of next packet of data to be sent by the router. |
| Ack: | SPX acknowledgment number. Represents the sequence number of the client's packet that the router has received, so far. |
| local-alloc: | Maximum packet sequence number that is acceptable from the client. This is a method of imposing flow control on the NASI client. |
| remote-alloc: | Maximum packet sequence number that the NASI client can accept from the router. This is the NASI client's way of imposing flow control on the router. |
| Purge Timer | Time in seconds until this SPX connection is closed and deleted from the list. |
| Abort Timer | Time in seconds until this SPX connection is closed and deleted if a watchdog packet is not received. |
| Verify Watchdog Timer fires in X secs | Indicates the time when you last sent a watchdog packet to the client. |
