Handle IPX Field Description
Options
(Menu 3.5)
None When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do not want to
apply any special handling for IPX.
Client When there are only client workstations on the LAN. RIP and SAP
(Service Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls.
Server When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packets
will trigger calls. In addition, during the time when the line is down, your
Prestige 642 will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf
of remote clients. The period of time that your Prestige 642 will do this is
linked to the Ethernet Address Timeout parameter in each remote node
(see Remote Node Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address is
aged out, there is no need to maintain its connection to the IPX server.
