Possible Problem Solution
SAP timer mismatch
Step 1 Use the show running-config privileged exec command to view the
router configuration. Look for ipx sap-interval interface configuration
command entries.
Example:
In the following example, SAP updates are sent (and expected) on serial
interface 0 every five minutes:
interface serial 0
ipx sap-interval 5
Step 2
On LAN interfaces, it is recommended that you use the default SAP
interval of one minute because the interval on servers cannot be changed.
To restore the default value, use the no ipx sap-interval command. The
following is the syntax for the ipx sap-interval command:
ipx sap-interval minutes
no ipx sap-interval
Syntax Description:
• minutes—Interval, in minutes, between SAP updates sent by the
communication server. The default value is one minute. If minutes is 0,
periodic updates are never sent.
On serial interfaces, make sure whatever interval you configure is the
same on both sides of the serial link. Use the ipx sap-interval interface
configuration command to change the SAP interval.
