IPX/SAP Timer

Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This value specifies how often the Express L128T S/T sends out IPX
SAP (Service Access Protocol) packets on the network segment at-
tached to the Ethernet port. The SAP packets sent contain information
about the services (such as servers, printers, etc.) for which this Ex-
press L128T S/T is responsible. The default value is 60 seconds.

Configuration/Bridge

The Bridge menu is used to set up the bridge parameters for the Ex-
press L128T S/T. The bridging function runs at the Media Access
Control (MAC) level which allows any protocol packets that run over
Ethernet to be forwarded. Bridging can run concurrently with the IP
and IPX routing. However, certain rules apply for when packets are
bridged across a WAN connection. When IP routing is active, IP pack-
ets (which include ARP packets) are not bridged. When IPX routing
is active, IPX packets are not bridged. Also, the WAN IP Bridge and
WAN IPX Bridge menus allow the WAN connection to bridge packets
to the Express L128T S/T but get routed as soon as they arrive at the
unit. Figure 3-6 shows the Bridge menu.
