IV. 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 specific service always available to the clients, you can
manually add it into the service 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 number of
service entries for one service type.
