7-2
When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do not want to apply any
special handling for IPX.
When there are only client computers on the LAN. RIP and SAP (Service
Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls.
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 645R will
reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf of remote clients. The
period of time that your Prestige 645R 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.
