Configuring IPX Routing
Working with the RIP and SAP tables
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 4-17
You’ll see a SAP table similar to the following:
Fields in the SAP table, and their contents, are:
• IPX Address. IPX address of one server.
The IPX address uses the following format:
network number:node number:socket number
• Service Type. Hexadecimal value representing a type of NetWare service.
For example, the number for file servers is 0004.
• Server Name. Server’s name (up to 35 characters).
Configuring RIP in a Connection profile
By default, the IPX RIP parameter in a Connection profile is set to Both,
indicating that RIP broadcasts will be exchanged in both directions. You can
disable the exchange of RIP broadcasts across a WAN connection, or specify that
the Pipeline will only send or only receive RIP broadcasts on that connection. (If
the Pipeline does not receive RIP broadcasts from a remote unit, you should
configure a static route to at least one server on that network. See “Configuring a
static IPX route” on page 4-18.)
To restrict RIP exchanges across a WAN connection:
1
Open a Connection profile that has IPX routing enabled.
2
Open the IPX Options submenu.
3
Set the IPX RIP parameter to a value other than the default setting of Both.
For example:
IPX RIP=Recv
