k. After entering a description, the following prompt displays:
IPX RIP and SAP mode {RIP and SAP active (a)
RIP only active (r)
RIP and SAP inactive (i)}
RIP and SAP triggered (t)}
(a):
Select how you want the IPX protocols, RIP (router internet protocol) and SAP (service
access protocol), to be configured for the default VLAN in this Group. RIP is a network-
layer protocol that enables this VLAN to learn routes. SAP is also a network-layer protocol
that allows network services, such as print and files services, to advertise themselves. The
choices are:
RIP and SAP active . The default setting. The default VLAN to which this IPX router port is
attached participates in both RIP and SAP updates . RIP and SAP updates are sent and
received through this router port. Simply press <Enter> to select RIP and SAP active.
RIP only active . The default VLAN to which this IPX router port is attached participates in
RIP updates only. RIP updates are sent and received through this router port. Enter an r
and press <Enter> to select RIP only active.
RIP and SAP inactive . The IPX router port is active, but the default VLAN to which it is
attached does not participate in either RIP nor SAP updates . Enter an i and press <Enter> to
select RIP and SAP inactive.
RIP and SAP triggered . The IPX router port is active, but RIP and SAP information will be
sent out on the port only when a network change has occurred. This option is more cost
effective for WAN links and is best suited for smaller network environments that don’t
change often. Enter a
t and press <Enter> to select RIP and SAP triggered.
When you are done entering Router parameters, a message similar to the following
displays:
GROUP 5 has been added to the system
You should now follow the instructions for configuring a WAN Routing Service described
in the appropriate WAN interface chapter.
