Configuring Extended Rip And Sap Packets; Configuring Rip And Sap Timers - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Network Configuration Manual

Configuring IPX
You can also enable or disable Type 20 packet forwarding on a specific VLAN by using the optional
VLAN parameter. For example, to enable Type 20 packet forwarding only on VLAN 1 you would enter:
-> ipx type-20-propagation 1 enable
Use the show ipx type-20-propagation
switch.

Configuring Extended RIP and SAP Packets

Larger RIP and SAP packets can be transmitted to reduce network congestion. Other switches and routers
in the network must support larger packet sizes if this feature is configured on the switch. RIP packets can
contain up to 68 network entries. SAP packets can contain up to eight network entries. Extended RIP and
SAP packets are disabled by default.
Use the ipx packet-extension
example:
-> ipx packet-extension enable
You can also enable or disable extended RIP/SAP packets on a specific VLAN by using the optional
VLAN parameter. For example, to enable extended RIP/SAP packets only on VLAN 1 you would enter:
-> ipx packet-extension 1 enable
Use the show ipx packet-extension

Configuring RIP and SAP Timers

By default, RIP and SAP packets are broadcast every 60 seconds, even if no change has occurred
anywhere in a route or service. This default may be modified to alleviate network congestion or facilitate
the discovery of network resources.
Use the ipx timers command to set the RIP/SAP broadcast time for the switch. You must set both the RIP
and SAP timer values. For example, to set a RIP timer value of 120 and a SAP timer value of 180 you
would enter:
-> ipx timers 120 180
Use the no ipx timers command to return the timer values to the default of 60.
You can set the RIP/SAP timers on a specific VLAN by using the optional VLAN parameter. For exam-
ple, to set a RIP timer value of 120 and a SAP timer value of 180 on VLAN 1 you would enter:
-> ipx timers 1 120 180
Use the show ipx timers
