Setting the SAP Mode 11-13

Setting the SAP	You can select a SAP mode that is appropriate for your network. SAP can
Mode	operate in any of three modes:

■Off — The system ignores all incoming SAP packets and does not generate any SAP packets of its own.

■Passive — The system processes all incoming SAP packets, but it does not broadcast periodic or triggered SAP updates or respond to SAP requests.

■Active — The system processes all incoming SAP packets, responds to explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic and triggered SAP updates.

SAP default mode By default, SAP is off.
