IPX Configuration 135
Configuring IPX service information
Generally, clients can only use the services that are advertised by NetWare servers
and saved on the switch. To make a service always available to the clients, you can
manually add it into the server information table as a static entry. If the route for
the static service entry is invalid or deleted, the broadcast of the static service entry
is disabled until the switch finds a valid route for the service entry.
IPX can support up to 10,240 service information entries with up to 5,120 service
types and 5,120 static service information entries. You can configure the
maximum service entries for one service type.
If the length of the new service information queue that you configure is less than
the original one, the current service entries are not deleted. And if the number of
the service entries of the same type reaches the specified value, new service
information is not added.
