Advertise Network/Server

The Advertise Network/Server Window can be used in two ways, depending on
which Selected Items mode is chosen:

<Do Not Advertise> Selected Items mode causes the unit to not advertise the
learned network to all remotes if you place an X next to the selected item.

<Advertise> Selected Items mode causes the unit to advertise the learned
network to all remotes if you place an X next to the selected item.

NOTE: Since each network that contains an X next to it consumes a filter,
choose an approach that consumes the least number of filters. With 15 learned
networks of which 5 need to be advertised it uses less filters to <Advertise> 5
networks than to select <Do Not Advertise> 10.

NOTE: Each selected network will be counted as a filter. A maximum of 500
filters can be defined on the Adit.

Advertise Network/Server Fields

Setup

Use this field to identify which networks or server types you wish to review. Options
are: <IP Networks>, <IPX Servers> and <IPX Networks>.

Selected Items

<Advertise> With this option selected Networks will advertise to all remote Adit units
that are listed in your Profile Directory.
<Do Not Advertise> With this option selected Networks will not be advertised.

Network

This field displays the network address of each network learned from the local LAN. If
this route was added using one of the Static Network windows, “Static Fltr” will appear
before the network address of this entry. If this is not a static route, and has been
selected, “Config Fltr” will appear before the network address of this entry. Only static
routes for the local Adit unit will display on this window.
