(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

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

WAN
Routing Service described
in the appropriate
WAN
interface chapter.
