k. After entering a description, the following prompt displays:
IPX RIP and SAP mode {RIP and SAP active (a)
RIP only active (r)
RIP and SAP inactive (i)}
RIP and SAP triggered (t)} (a):
Select how you want the IPX protocols, RIP (router internet protocol) and SAP (service
access protocol), to be configured for the default VLAN in this Group. RIP is a network-
layer protocol that enables this VLAN to learn routes. SAP is also a network-layer protocol
that allows network services, such as print and files services, to advertise themselves. The
choices are:
RIP and SAP active. The default setting. The default VLAN to which this IPX router port is
attached participates in both RIP and SAP updates. RIP and SAP updates are sent and
received through this router port. Simply press <Enter> to select RIP and SAP active.
RIP only active. The default VLAN to which this IPX router port is attached participates in
RIP updates only. RIP updates are sent and received through this router port. Enter an r
and press <Enter> to select RIP only active.
RIP and SAP inactive. The IPX router port is active, but the default VLAN to which it is
attached does not participate in either RIP nor SAP updates. Enter an i and press <Enter> to
select RIP and SAP inactive.
RIP and SAP triggered. The IPX router port is active, but RIP and SAP information will be
sent out on the port only when a network change has occurred. This option is more cost
effective for WAN links and is best suited for smaller network environments that don’t
change often. Enter a t and press <Enter> to select RIP and SAP triggered.
When you are done entering Router parameters, a message similar to the following
displays:
GROUP 5 has been added to the system
You should now follow the instructions for configuring a WAN Routing Service described
in the appropriate WAN interface chapter.
