Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router

Table 7-1 Bridge Ethernet Setup Menu – Handle IPX Field Configuration

OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

None

When no IPX traffic is on the LAN or when you do not want any special handling for IPX.

 

 

Client

When only client workstations are on the LAN. RIP and SAP (Service Advertising Protocol)

 

response packets will not trigger calls.

Server

When only IPX servers are on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packets will trigger calls. Also, when

 

the line is down, your Prestige will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf

 

of remote clients. How long 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.
