The maximum packet size for IPX SAP advertisements. The default

 

 

IPX SAP packet size is 480 bytes, which allows seven servers plus 32

 

 

bytes of header in an IPX SAP update packet.

 

 

To modify this parameter, see “Modify the SAP Advertisement Packet

 

 

Size” on page 14-13.

The age timer for learned SAP entries. The age timer specifies how

 

 

many seconds a learned IPX server can remain in the routing switch's

 

 

IPX service table before aging out.

 

 

To modify this parameter, see “Modify the Age Timer for Learned SAP

 

 

Entries” on page 14-15.
