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 If the timer expires, the router will assume that the entry is no
longer valid (due to hardware failure, power outage, etc.), and the entry will be deleted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.

the interface. Recommended values are

Y Transport Time
determines whether Novell NetWare file server serialization security frames will be
forwarded on the interface. These broadcast frames are used by Novell to hold infor-
mation regarding the licensing of the file server executables.
Disabling serialization allows filtering of these broadcasts to reduce WAN traffic, and
is not intended to interfere with copyright-protection mechanisms.
determines whether this interface will be used by the local node to respond to "keep-
alive" messages on behalf of the client workstations. Novell servers periodically issue
these messages to all clients, to determine whether each client is still available.
