RIP/Retain
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
When this Connection List entry is disconnected and this parameter is set to
Yes, all routes learned from this WAN connection are retained and their rout-
ing interface is set to idle. This permits dial-on-demand to occur using this
profile for any IP network that might have been advertised by the particular
PPP peer. The idle routes can be flushed or “zombied” from the routing table
if a manual hangup is performed when this WAN connection is not active. See
Dial/Hang Up on page 89. When this Connection List entry is disconnected and
this parameter is set to No (def), routes learned from this session are “zom-
bied” and are not retained.
Connection List/IPX
The IPX menu contains the parameters for exchanging IPX data with the PPP
peer.
IPX/Mode
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Setting to On (def) will permit this connection profile to negotiate PPP IPXCP
with the PPP peer for exchanging of IPX packets.
IPX/Remote Network
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
A non-zero value in this remote network number will allow the Express XL/
XLT to add a route to the PPP peer’s network to the routing table.
The Express XL/XLT normally will treat the WAN network as an unnum-
bered link. This is usually referred to as being a “half-router.” However, a
PPP peer which wants to assign a network address to the WAN link can do so,
in which case the Express XL/XLT will go into “full-router” mode.
IPX/Triggered
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
When set to Yes, only IPX RIP and SAP updates are sent when the routing or
service table has changed and learned routes are not “aged.” When set to No
(def), updates are sent periodically based on the RIP and SAP timers set in
Configuration/IPX/RIP Timer and Configuration/IPX/SAP Timer.
