How to Configure NLSP

Internetwork Packet Exchange
IMPORTANT:
Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 provides a set of convergence
parameters that enable you to customize the operation of NLSP on your router.
The default values for these parameters are sufficient for most IPX networks and
should be changed only on the advice of your technical support representative.
When configuring NLSP on an interface, you can set the NLSP State
parameter to one of two states: On or Off . On enables the router to exchange
NLSP packets freely with other NLSP routers on the attached network. Off
disables NLSP routing on the interface.

If you implement NLSP throughout a large IPX internetwork, or even if you
want to configure NLSP on just a few routers or servers, refer to NLSP

incoming RIP or SAP packets at the interface, select Off.
