on the VLAN interfaces on the switch. This allows the switch to broadcast update
only when route or service information changes, thus avoiding broadcast flooding.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
By default, the triggered update feature of IPX is disabled.
Configuring Split Horizon of IPX
Split horizon eliminates routing loops by
forbidding the switch to send the routing information out the interface where it is
received. In some cases, however, split horizon must be disabled to ensure the
correct transmission of routing information.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
By default, split horizon is enabled.
Disable split horizon only when necessary and with caution, because it can result
in routing loops.
Configuring the Encapsulation Format of the IPX frame
You can modify
the encapsulation format of the IPX frame.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
By default, the encapsulation format of the IPX frame is 802.3 (dot3).
Configuring for Forwarding Type 20 IPX Broadcast Packets
Novell NetWare
defines the type 20 IPX broadcast packet for the Network Basic Input/Output
System (NetBIOS). You can enable or disable the forwarding of type 20 broadcast
packets to other segments.
