Enabling the IPX SAP Routing Protocol on a Port
IPX Source Advertisement Protocol (SAP) is used by IPX to exchange information about Novell
service providing nodes, such as file servers and print servers that are available. IPX SAP builds
and maintains a database, the Service Advertisement Table, containing the addresses and routes to
specific service providing nodes, and advertises this information over the network.
Each router running IPX SAP gathers this LAN based information from the locally connected
network segments and adds it to its Service Advertisement Table. Each table contains the Novell
Network Number and type of services available on all Novell servers known to the IPX SAP. IPX
routing services uses this information to provide internetworked NetWare clients with access to
these services.
To enable SAP Routing, complete the following steps:
1. From the IPX Configuration screen, highlight IPX SAP and then press ENTER.
The IPX SAP Configuration screen, shown in Figure 1-20, displays.
