Configuring IPX
forwarding
IPX RIP and SAP periodically broadcast update packets. If the periodical broadcast
is not desired, you can enable triggered update on the VLAN interfaces of the
switch. This allows the switch to broadcast update packets only when route or
service information changes, thus avoiding broadcast flooding.
In some cases, split horizon must be disabled to ensure the correct transmission of
routing information. Split horizon eliminates routing loops by forbidding the
switch to send the routing information out of the interface where it is received.
Disable split horizon only when necessary and with cautions, because it can result
in routing loops.
Novell NetWare defines the type 20 IPX broadcast packet for the network basic
input/output system (NetBIOS). You can enable/disable the forwarding of type 20
broadcast packets to other segments as required.
