G-6 Glossary
RIP: NetWare Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the routing
protocol used by IPX routers. Using a distance-vector routing protocol,
it optimizes the routing between source and destination addresses by
minimizing the "hop" count. The firmware supports RIP to allow NMS
to ascertain the repeater's MAC address, thus allowing NMS to initiate
SNMP over IPX communications.
SAP: The NetWare Services Advertising Protocol (SAP) allows the
firmware to advertise its services. The SAP requests, which are issued
over IPX, are broadcasted every 60 seconds. The SAP packet contains
the SAP IDs of the available services.
SAP ID: The SAP ID is used to identify the type of services available
by a server.
