Managing IPX SAP filters
IPX SAP filters include or exclude specific NetWare services from the Pipeline
unit’s SAP table.
Note:
IPX SAP filters control which services are added to the local SAP table or
passed on in SAP response packets across IPX routing connections (not IPX
bridging connections). IPX SAP filters are used to manage connectivity costs,
unlike filters that prevent periodic RIP and SAP broadcasts from keeping a
connection up unnecessarily.
Defining an IPX SAP filter
To define an IPX SAP filter:
1
Open Ethernet > IPX SAP Filter > any profile.
For example:
Name=optional
Input filters...
Output filters...
Valid=Yes
Type=Exclude
Server Type=0004
Server Name=SERVER-5
2
Specify a name for the profile.
3
Open the list of Input filters.
Input filter conditions are applied to all SAP packets received by the
Pipeline. They screen advertised services.
You can specify up to 12 filters to include or exclude services from particular
servers. These filters are applied in the order listed in the Input Filters menu.
