Enable IPX Router
It may be useful to put this parameter to No when the IPX routing functions are
not required for the application. By putting this parameter to No, some RAM is
saved because no routing initialization functions are executed. At the same time, it
is a quick way to avoid any packet routing without deleting any Router
Configuration parameters. The default value, Yes, should fit most situations.
Enable SAP
This is the standard way of using the TXPORT router. It is a protocol to exchange
information about services available in a network. SAP stands for Service
Advertising Protocol. SAP was designed to work with small- to moderate-sized
networks. The default value of Yes is suitable for small- and moderate-sized
network.
Enable RIP
This is the standard way of using the TXPORT router. It is a protocol to exchange
information about routes available in a network. RIP stands for Routing
Information Protocol. RIP was designed to work with small- to moderate-sized
networks. The default value of Yes is suitable for small- and moderate-sized
networks.
Enable NLSP
NLSP stands for NetWare Link Services Protocol. NLSP is a protocol for
information exchange among routers of a large IPX internetwork. It offers better
routing functions, less bandwidth and CPU usage, as well as supports bigger
internetworks (more than 16 hops). The default value is No, that is, NLSP in not
enabled.
