»» IPX/RIP Timer
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This value specifies how often the Express L768 sends out IPX RIP
packets on the network segment attached to the Ethernet port. The
RIP packets sent contain routing information about the networks for
which this Express L768 is responsible. The default value is 60 sec-
onds.
»» IPX/SAP Timer
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This value specifies how often the Express L768 sends out IPX SAP
(Service Access Protocol) packets on the network segment attached to
the Ethernet port. The SAP packets sent contain information about the
services (such as servers, printers, etc.) for which this Express L768 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 L768. 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 packets
(which include ARP packets) are not bridged. When IPX routing is ac-
tive, 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 L768 but get routed as soon as they arrive at the unit. Figure 3-
6 shows the Bridge menu.
