Installation and Getting Started Guide

Modify the RIP Advertisement Interval

The IPX RIP advertisement interval specifies how often the routing switch sends IPX RIP updates to neighboring IPX routers. The update intervals are separate for RIP and SAP and are configurable on an individual interface basis.

By default, the routing switch sends an IPX RIP update every 60 seconds. You can change the interval to be from 10 – 65535 seconds. You cannot disable the advertisements.

NOTE: If you change an advertisement interval, you do not need to change the age time. The software automatically calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer, which is 3 by default.

To change the RIP advertisement interval, use the following CLI method.

USING THE CLI

EXAMPLE:

To change the advertisement interval for IPX RIP advertisements sent on interface 1/1 from 60 seconds to 30 seconds, enter the following commands:

HP9300(config) int e 1/1

HP9300(config-if-1/1) ipx update-time 30

HP9300(config-if-1/1) write memory

Syntax: ipx update-time <interval>

The <interval> can be from 10 – 65535 seconds. The default is 60.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot modify the RIP advertisement interval using the Web management interface.

Modify the SAP Advertisement Interval

The IPX SAP advertisement interval specifies how often the routing switch sends IPX SAP updates to neighboring IPX routers. The update intervals are separate for RIP and SAP and are configurable on an individual interface basis.

By default, the routing switch sends an IPX SAP update every 60 seconds. You can change the interval to be from 10 – 65535 seconds. You cannot disable the advertisements.

NOTE: If you change an advertisement interval, you do not need to change the age time. The software automatically calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer, which is 3 by default.

To change the SAP advertisement packet size, use the following CLI method.

USING THE CLI

EXAMPLE:

To change the advertisement interval for IPX SAP advertisements sent on interface 1/1 from 60 seconds to 120 seconds, enter the following commands:

HP9300(config) int e 1/1

HP9300(config-if-1/1) ipx sap-interval 120

HP9300(config-if-1/1) write memory

Syntax: ipx sap-interval <interval>

The <interval> can be from 10 – 65535 seconds. The default is 60.
