Configuring Static IPX SAP Entries
A service access point (SAP) allows service-providing nodes (such as file servers and print
servers) to advertise their services and addresses.
SAP makes the process of advertising and removing services dynamic. On the SSR, you
can also add static IPX SAP entries. Through SAP, routers create and maintain a database
of internetwork service information. This allows the clients on the network to determine
which services are available on the network and to obtain the internetwork addresses of
the nodes from which the clients can access those services. Because the SAP agent in each
router keeps up-to-date information on available servers, a client wanting to locate the
server can access a nearby router for the correct internetwork address.
