RIP requests and responses are sent as data in IPX packets. The Novell
NetWare version of RIP uses IPX socket 453h.
RIP imposes a network diameter limit of 15 hops or less on IPX internet-
works. To enable RIP to account for different link speeds, HP routers allow
you to assign a higher cost to interfaces for lower-speed networks.
IPX Static Routes
For IPX routing service, you can also configure static routes (not to be
confused with NetBIOS static routes described later). Static routes are used
to restrict paths that IPX packets can follow to those that you define. Static
routes will be displayed in the IPX routing table and cannot be overwritten.
When you configure a static route, you must configure the following
parameters for each destination network:
target (destination) network
next-hop host number
next-hop network number
RIP table cost (hop-count value)
For more information on configuring IPX static routes, refer to the IPX
configuration parameters in the reference manual.
Service Advertising Protocol
The Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) is used by NetWare servers to
inform NetWare clients of their presence. SAP is an ISO application-layer
protocol that runs directly over IPX, an ISO network-layer protocol. The
Service Advertising Protocol allows a file/print server or program to register
its name on the network. The programs may be application programs written
by third-party developers or users. A SAP request will ask for the translation
of that name to a socket on a particular node on the network. The NetWare
Core Protocols (NCP), used to obtain the core service offered by a NetWare
file server, use SAP to find file servers or print servers in the internetwork.
Servers broadcast service advertising packets every 60 seconds. These
packets identify a server by name, server type, and network address
(network, host, and socket identifiers). All routers receive these packets.
The HP routers maintain a SAP bindery (table) of server information (name,
type, address, hop count, interface to server, and timer value) based on the
Service advertising packets they receive. HP routers update the age timer for
existing entries. If new server information is discovered, the router creates
