forward an IPX packet. A longer delay means slower forwarding whereas a shorter
delay means faster forwarding.
By importing routes, different routing protocols can share their routing information
mutually. Note that IPX RIP imports only active static routes; inactive static routes are
neither imported nor forwarded.
3.2.5 Configuring IPX SAP
I. Enabling IPX SAP
After IPX is enabled on VLAN interfaces, the system enables SAP automatically. You
can configure SAP parameters and service information as needed.
Follow these steps to configure IPX SAP:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enable IPX
ipx enable
Required
Disabled by default.
Enter VLAN
interface view
interface
Vlan-interface vlan-id
—
Configure an IPX
network number for
the VLAN interface
ipx network network
Required
By default, the system does not
assign network numbers to VLAN
interfaces. That is, IPX is disabled
on all the VLAN interfaces.
Enable IPX SAP
undo ipx sap disable
Required
By default, SAP is enabled as
soon as IPX is enabled on the
VLAN interface.
II. Configuring IPX SAP
In a large network, one IPX SAP broadcast consumes enormous bandwidth resources.
By configuring an appropriate SAP update interval, you can reduce bandwidth waste.
Make sure that all servers and switches on the network have the same SAP update
interval. Otherwise, the switches mistake an operating server for a failed one.
The aging interval of IPX SAP is a multiple of the IPX RIP update interval. You can set
multiple update intervals as an aging interval.
