Maximum Transmission Unit
is the maximum frame size (in bytes) that can be transmitted or received over the IPX
interface. Any frames larger than the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) will be dis-
carded. If the MTU is less than the size of a minimal IPX datagram, the value will
automatically change to the minimal datagram size.
Port Diagnostics Enabled
enables or disables the IPX interface’s ability to handle Novell Diagnostic packets. If
enabled, IPX will forward or respond to a diagnostic packet depending on to whom it
is addressed. If disabled, IPX will ignore the packet.
NetBIOS Enabled
determines whether Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS frames received on the interface
will be processed. If disabled, NetBIOS frames will be discarded.
NetBIOS Hops
is the maximum number of hops allowed for routing a Novell-encapsulated NetBIOS
frame. (Each router in a packet’s path to the destination network is one hop.) Frames
exceeding this value will be discarded.
RIP Enabled
determines whether this interface will support RIP processing.
SAP Enabled
determines whether this interface will support SAP processing.
Periodic RIP Enabled
determines whether the node will originate periodic IPX Routing Information Pro-
tocol (RIP) messages from this interface (assuming RIP is enabled), to inform the
network that the route through this interface is viable.
Periodic RIP Timer
is the interval between the periodic IPX RIP broadcasts from this interface.
Periodic SAP Enabled
determines whether the node will originate periodic IPX Service Advertising Protocol
(SAP) messages from this interface (assuming SAP is enabled), to inform the network
which SAP entries in the routing table are viable.
Periodic SAP Timer
is the interval between the periodic IPX SAP broadcasts from this interface.
RIP Age Timer
is used to delete route entries in the routing information table (assuming RIP is
enabled). The timer starts/restarts each time an entry is created/updated by RIP or ref-
erenced for forwarding. If the timer expires, the router will assume that the entry is no
longer valid (due to hardware failure, power outage, etc.), and the entry will be deleted
from the table.
Static routes
(described on page 15-18) are never aged.
