Configuring IPX RIP RIP is utilized as a means of communicating routing information between
and SAProuters. This is done to keep the routers updated on information. Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) is a protocol used by IPX servers and routers to exchange information about the location of servers.
Local Site (LAN) RIP IPX RIP and SAP parameters can be configured in the advanced IPX and SAP options for the local site (LAN).
1Select Configuration > Local Site > IPX.
2Select the Local Site definition from the list and click Advanced to access the IPX Advanced screen containing the following parameters:
■Your network performance may be degraded if you set the IPX maximum packet size to less than 500 bytes. It is not generally recommended to modify the IPX maximum packet size.
■Checking the SAP Nearest Replies box requests the nearest server for routing information.
3Enter the value for the LAN RIP and LAN SAP Age Multipliers. These are values by which to multiply the corresponding update interval to obtain the length of time (seconds) before aging out entries in either the RIP or SAP database.
4Enter the Update Intervals for the LAN RIP and LAN SAP. These are the intervals (seconds) for how often the LAN should send out periodic RIP or SAP updates.
5Click Submit when the values on the screen have been correctly entered.
