SAP/RIP Filters and the Migration Agent Backbone
Support Feature
If the Backbone Support feature of the Migration Agents is enabled, then the
SAP/RIP information exchange between these agents can bypass the SAP/RIP
filters that you might have set up in your routers. Refer to the Migration Agent
documentation to learn how to set up SAP/RIP filters using the Migration
Agents.
Placing of SLP Directory Agents
If you set up the SLP infrastructure using Directory agents, and if you rely on
the IPX Compatibility feature to accomplish the migration, you must place
Directory agents so as to minimize the round trip distance between the IP only
nodes and their closest Directory agent. This is necessary to avoid having IPX
applications timing out when they perform RIP or SAP requests.
