By default, the switch responds to SAP GNS requests with the information of a server
that is picked out in turn from all the known servers. This prevents a server from getting
overloaded. In addition, it allows its VLAN interfaces to respond to GNS requests.
VI. Configure static IPX service entries
Generally, you can only use the services that are advertised by NetWare servers and
saved on the switch. To make a service always available to clients, you can manually
add it into the server information table as a static entry. If the route for the static service
entry is invalid or deleted, the broadcast of the static service entry is disabled until the
switch finds a valid route for the service entry.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
