Configuring IPX Routing
Working with the RIP and SAP tables
4-20 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
Usually the default of 12 is appropriate, but you might need to increase this
value for very distant servers.
10
Specify the number of the Connection profile that defines the WAN
connection.
A Connection profile is referenced by the unique part of the number it is
assigned in the Connections menu (1, 2, 3, and so forth).
Connection #=2
11
Close the IPX Route profile.
Configuring SAP in a Connection profile
By default, the IPX SAP parameter in a Connection profile is set to Both,
indicating that SAP broadcasts will be exchanged in both directions. If SAP is
enabled to both send and receive broadcasts on the WAN interface, the Pipeline
broadcasts its SAP table to the remote network and listens for service updates
from that network. Eventually, both networks have a table of all services on the
WA N .
To control which services are advertised and where, you can disable the exchange
of SAP broadcasts across a WAN connection, or specify that the Pipeline will
only send or only receive SAP broadcasts on that connection.
To restrict SAP broadcasts 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 SAP=Recv
This setting specifies that the Pipeline receives SAP table updates from the
remote router. If you do not want the Pipeline to send or receive SAP
broadcasts on this connection, use the following setting:
IPX SAP=None
4
Close the Connection profile.
