IPX SAP Filters

10-20
SAP filters are used in conjunction with the restrictedsap value
of the routing parameter set at the ipx# object prompt
10-4). As large networks can advertise many different SAPs,
sometimes it is useful to limit the type of SAPs learned by the
router. RestrictedSAP limits SAPs to those specified by the SAP
filters.
When creating SAP filters, it is only important to enter the name
of the server. Network numbers and server types are learned
automatically by the router.
To create or modify a SAP filter, use the following syntax:
[co] [ipx] [mod|new] sapf name/type/net
where co moves the BCC into config mode (if required), ipx takes
the router to the ipx# object (if not already there), mod and new
are the modify and new verbs (optional), sapf is the MTD for the
SAPFilter object, name is the name of the server sending the
SAPs, type is the type of server (a value of 0 entered here means
the router learns the type automatically) and net is the network
number on which the server can be found (a value of 0 entered
here means the router learns the type automatically).
When the SAP filter is created or modified, the BCC moves into
the SAP filter object. Typing i at this prompt lists all the
parameters that can be changed for the filter.
