13. After entering a description, the following prompt displays:

IPX RIP and SAP mode {RIP and SAP active (a)

RIP only active (r)
RIP and SAP inactive (i)}

(a):

Select how you want the

IPX

protocols,

RIP

(router internet protocol) and

SAP

(service

access protocol), to be configured for this

VLAN

RIP

is a network-layer protocol that

enables this

VLAN

to learn routes.

SAP

is also a network-layer protocol that allows network

services, such as print and files services, to advertise themselves. The choices are:

RIP and SAP active

. The default setting. The

VLAN

to which this

IPX

router port is attached

participates in both

RIP

and

SAP updates

RIP

and

SAP

updates are sent and received

through this router port. Simply press

to select

RIP

and

SAP

active.

RIP only active

The

VLAN

to which this

IPX

router port is attached participates in

RIP

updates only.

RIP

updates are sent and received through this router port. Enter an

and

press

to select

RIP

only active.

RIP and SAP inactive

The

IPX

router port is active, but the

VLAN

to which it is attached does

not participate in either

RIP

nor

SAP updates

. Enter an

and press

to select

RIP

only

active.

14. After selecting the

RIP

and

SAP

configuration, the following prompt displays the default

router framing type options:

Default router framing type for : {

Ethernet Media:

Ethernet II (0),
Ethernet 802.3 LLC (1),
Ethernet 802.3 SNAP (2),
Novell Ethernet 802.3 raw (3),

FDDI Media:

fddi SNAP (4),
source route fddi SNAP (5),
fddi LLC (6),
source route fddi LLC (7),

Token Ring Media:

token ring SNAP (8),
source route token ring SNAP (9),
token ring LLC (a),
source route token ring LLC (b) }

(0) :

Select the default framing type for the frames that will be generated by this router port
and propagated over the

VLAN

to the outbound ports. Set the framing type to the encap-

sulation type that is most prevalent in the

VLAN

. If the

VLAN

contains devices using encap-

sulation types other than those defined here, the

MPX

module must translate those frames,

which slows throughput. See the figure, Default Framing Type and the Virtual Router Port
on page 22-21 for an illustration of the Default Framing Type and its relation to Virtual
Router Port communications.
