This menu is available if the IPX protocol is enabled for this WAN partner.
IPX NetNumber
= This is the IPX network number of the WAN link
and is required by some IPX routers.
Send RIP/SAP Updates
= Determines how often RIP (Routing Infor-
mation Protocol) and SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) packets are
sent to this remote partner.
In IPX networks, RIP and SAP packets are broadcast to adjacent
networks to inform them of current routes and services. The traffic
generated by RIP and SAP is okay for LANs but for adjacent networks
connected over WAN interfaces, consideration must be made.
The following table shows the types of updates that can be confi-
gured for IPX partners.
