This command displays three types of RIP and SAP information: Server,
Network, and Connection Requests. This information is formatted
according to whether the router/server is receiving the information (IN),
broadcasting the information (OUT), or receiving a connection request.
Refer to Utilities Reference for more details.
We recommend the following guidelines for configuring IPX:
Each server and router in the entire internetwork must have a unique
internal internetwork number.
Each LAN in the entire internetwork must have a unique IPX network
number, even if you have configured a PPP unnumbered WAN link that
connects two LANs.
Each WAN in the entire internetwork must have a unique internal
internetwork number.
Observe the procedures described in the following sections when you are
configuring IPX or NLSP for the Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 routing
software:
