Novell servers not processing
SAP updates as quickly as
router is generating them
Step 1 Use the show interfaces privileged exec command to check for output
drops.
Step 2 If there are excessive drops, use the show ipx servers exec command on
the router. Compare the output of this command with the output of the
display servers system console command on Novell servers.
Step 3 If the display servers output for a Novell server shows only a partial
listing of the SAP entries shown by the router, the Novell servers might
not be able to process SAP updates as quickly as the router is generating
them.
Step 4 Use the ipx output-sap-delay interface configuration command to
configure the delay between packets in a multipacket SAP update. Novell
specifies a delay of 55 ms.
Syntax:
The following is the syntax for the ipx output-sap-delay command:
ipx output-sap-delay delay
Syntax Description:
• delay—Delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet
SAP update.
