Generally, a client only uses the service advertised by NetWare server and saved by
the advising router. In order that the client can always use a specific service, static
service information can be manually added to the service information table.
An IPX router supports up to 10,240 service information items, 2,048 service
types, and 5,120 static service information items (including all service types). You
can configure the maximum service information items for a certain type of service.
Follow these steps to configure IPX service information:
To do...
Enter system view
Add an IPX static service
information item
Configure the maximum
queue length of the same
service type items
The following table gives values of some service types:
Service type
Unknown
Print Queue
File Server
Job Server
Print Server
Archive Server
Remote Bridge Server
Advertising Print Server
Reserved
Wildcard
If the route associated to a static service information item is invalid or deleted,
■
the static service information item will be prevented from broadcast, until the
router finds a new valid route associated to the service information.
The maximum queue length of the same service type items does not limit the
■
amount of static service information but the amount of dynamic service
information. If the newly configured queue length is less than the original
length, the table items in the service information table will not be deleted; if
the amount of service information for the same service type reaches the
configured value, new service information items will not be added.
