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 Router Setup screen, highlight IPX SAP and press
ENTER.
The IPX SAP Configuration screen, shown in Figure 3-8, displays.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port field.
3. Enter the number of the port that you wish to enable SAP routing,
press ENTER.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Port Level SAP field.
5. Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the
bottom of the screen and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK”
displays.
