Chapter 9: IPX Routing Configuration Guide

Configure Static SAP Table Entries

Servers in an IPX network use SAP to advertise services via broadcast packets. Services from servers are stored in the Server Information Table. If you want to have a service explicitly advertised with different hops then you will need to configure a static entry.

To add an entry into the Server Information Table, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Add a SAP table entry.

ipx add sap <service type> <SrvcName> <node> <socket> <metric> <interface-network>

Control Access to IPX Networks

To control access to IPX networks, you create access control lists and then apply them with filters to individual interfaces. The SSR supports the following IPX access lists that you can use to filter various kinds of traffic:

•IPX access control list: Restrict traffic based on the source address, destination address, source socket, destination socket, source network mask or destination network mask.

•SAP access control list: Restricts advertisements or learning of SAP services. These lists are used for SAP filters. They can also be used for Get Nearest Server (GNS) replies.

•RIP access control list: Restricts advertisements or learning of networks.

Create an IPX Access Control List

IPX access control lists control which IPX traffic is received from or sent to an interface based on source address, destination address, source socket, destination socket, source network mask or destination network mask. This is used to permit or deny traffic from one IPX end node to another.

To create an IPX access control list, perform the following task in the Configure mode:

Create an IPX access control list.

acl <name> permitdeny ipx <SrcNetwork Node> <DstNetworkNode> <SrcSocket> <SrcNetMask> <DstSocket> <DstNetMask>

Once an IPX access control list has been created, you must apply the access control list to an IPX interface. To apply an IPX access control list, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Apply an IPX access control list.

acl <name> apply interface <Interface Name>
