Configuring IPX SAP timers
In a large network, IPX SAP broadcasts might occupy much bandwidth. Changing IPX SAP update
interval is an effective way to reduce bandwidth occupation. Configure IPX SAP aging interval as a value
multiple times the update interval.
All servers and routers on the network must have the same SAP update interval. Otherwise, a router might
consider a working server failed.
If the service information is not updated within the aging interval, it is be deleted from the service
information table.
