Chapter 8: IPX Routing Configuration Guide
SSR User Reference Manual 8 - 5
Enable SAP
IPX SAP is enabled by default on the SSR. You must first create an IPX interface or
assign an IPX interface to a VLAN before SAP will start learning services.
Configure Static Routes
In a Novell NetWare network, the SSR uses RIP to determine the best paths for routing
IPX. However, you can add static RIP routes to RIP routing table to explicitly specify
a route.
To add a static RIP route, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Configure Static SAP Table Entries
Servers in an IPX network use SAP to advertise services via broadcast packets.
Services from servers are stored in the Server Information Table. If you want to have
a service explicitly advertised with different hops then you will need to configure a
static entry.
To add an entry into the Server Information Table, enter the following command in
Configure mode:
Control Access to IPX Networks
To control access to IPX networks, you create access control lists and then apply them
with filters to individual interfaces. The SSR supports the following IPX access lists
that you can use to filter various kinds of traffic:
• IPX access control list: Restrict traffic based on the source address, destination
address, source socket, destination socket, source network mask or destination
network mask.
• SAP access control list: Restricts advertisements or learning of SAP services. These
lists are used for SAP filters. They can also be used for Get Nearest Server (GNS)
Add a static RIP route.
ipx add route <networkaddr>
<nextrouter or network node> <metric>
<ticks>
Add a SAP table entry.
ipx add sap
<service type> <SrvcName>
<node> <socket> <metric>
<interface-network>
