Enterasys Networks CSX7000, CSX5500 IPX-SPECIFIC Information for Devices, Configuring IPX Devices

USER’S GUIDE

Specifically, triggered RIP and SAP updates are only transmitted on the WAN:

•when a specific request for a routing/service update has been received;

•when the routing or service databases are modified by new information from another interface (in which case, only the latest changes are sent);

•when a destination has changed from an unreachable to a reachable state; and

•when the unit is powered up.

You may customize triggered RIP/SAP operation to your system’s specific needs through the global timers. The global timers are user-controlled; they are described in detail in the Configuration Elements section (page 343), and include the following:

•database timer

•hold-down timer

•retransmission timer

•polling timer

•over-subscription timer
