Handle IPX Field | Description | |
(Menu 3.5) |
|
|
|
|
|
None |
| When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do not want to apply |
|
| any special handling for IPX. |
|
|
|
Client |
| When there are only client workstations on the LAN. RIP and SAP (Service |
|
| Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls. |
|
|
|
Server |
| When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packets will |
|
| trigger calls. In addition, during the time when the line is down, your Prestige |
|
| will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf of remote clients. |
|
| The period of time that your Prestige will do this is linked to the [Ethernet |
|
| Address Timeout] parameter in each remote node (see Remote Node |
|
| Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no |
|
| need to maintain its connection to the IPX server. |
|
|
|
If there are both clients and servers on the LAN, and the local clients will access the remote servers, set this field to [Server] but turn on the
