IPX/RIP R
OUTING
IPX/RIP is automatically enabled when a NetID is assigned to the VLAN. To remove
the advertisement of an IPX VLAN, use the command:
config ipxrip delete {vlan <name> | all}
GNS SUPPORT
ExtremeWare support the Get Nearest Server (GNS) reply function. When a NetID is
assigned to the switch, the GNS reply service is automatically enabled. When a station
requests a particular service on the network (for example, locating a print server), the
station sends a GNS request and the switch responds to the request. If GNS-reply is
disabled, the switch drops the request.
To disable GNS-reply, use the following command:
disable ipxsap gns-reply {vlan <name>}
