324 C HAPTER 19: IPX R OUTER
RIP/SAP
Parameters
RIP Periodic Interval
Normally, Periodic Routing Information Packets are sent every 60 seconds even if
there is no change to an IPX network topology. It ranges from 1 to 65535. In
certain cases, this may cause some bandwidth problem for WAN circuits. This
menu item allows for fine tuning this parameter. The default value is 60.
RIP Age Multiplier
After this many RIP update intervals, unrefreshed RIP information is considered
expired. It ranges from 1 to 65535. With the default values, after 3 (the RIP Age
Multiplier)
×
60 (the RIP Periodic Interval) = 180 seconds, if no RIP update has
been received, all information normally received on that circuit is considered
expired. The default value is 3.
Maximum RIP Packet Size
If more than 512 bytes are necessary to pass all routing information, the RIP
packet is segmented in as many RIP packets required without exceeding the
Maximum RIP Packet Size. It ranges from 40 to 512. The default value is 512.
SAP Periodic Interval
Normally, Periodic Service Advertising Packets are sent every 60 seconds even if
there is no change to an IPX service topology. This can cause a bandwidth
problem for WAN circuits. It ranges from 1 to 65535. This menu item allows for
fine tuning this parameter. The default value is 60.

After this many SAP update intervals, unrefreshed SAP information is considered
expired. With the default values, after 3 (the SAP Age Multiplier)
×
60 (the SAP
Periodic Interval) = 180 seconds, if no SAP update has been received, all
information normally received on that circuit is considered expired. It ranges from
1 to 65535. The default value is 3.
Maximum SAP Packet Size
If more than 512 bytes are necessary to pass all service information, the SAP
packet is segmented in as many SAP packets required without exceeding the
Maximum SAP Packet Size. It ranges from 64 to 512. The default value is 512.
