determines whether the node will originate periodic IPX Routing Information Pro-
tocol (RIP) messages from this interface (assuming RIP is enabled), to inform the
network that the route through this interface is viable.
is the interval between the periodic IPX RIP broadcasts from this interface.
determines whether the node will originate periodic IPX Service Advertising Protocol
(SAP) messages from this interface (assuming SAP is enabled), to inform the network
which SAP entries in the routing table are viable.
is the interval between the periodic IPX SAP broadcasts from this interface.
determines whether this interface will support RIP processing.
is used to delete route entries in the routing information table (assuming RIP is
enabled). The timer starts/restarts each time an entry is created/updated by RIP or ref-
erenced for forwarding. If the timer expires, the router will assume that the entry is no
longer valid (due to hardware failure, power outage, etc.), and the entry will be deleted
from the table.
is the maximum possible RIP packet size, including the IPX header (30 bytes) and the
LAN MAC header (if transmitted on a LAN interface).
determines whether this interface will support SAP processing.
is used to delete route entries in the server information table (assuming SAP is
enabled). The timer starts/restarts each time an entry is created/updated by SAP or ref-
erenced for forwarding. If the timer expires, the router will assume that the entry is no
longer valid (due to hardware failure, power outage, etc.), and the entry will be deleted
from the table. SAP will then send a broadcast message indicating that the server is
down.
