Important Considerations

SAP provides routers and servers that contain SAP agents with a means of exchanging network service information.

The system has three SAP modes:

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

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

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