Configuring a response mode for IPX SAP GNS request
GNS is a SAP message, broadcast by a SAP-enabled NetWare client. A NetWare server will respond to
the request with a Give Nearest Server message.
If the NetWare server and the client reside in a common network, the server will respond to the client. If
no NetWare server is available on the client’s network, the connected router will respond.
You can configure a router to respond to a SAP GNS request with:
• The nearest server information. The nearest server has the least hops in the service information
table.
• Round-Robin mode. All available servers in turn.

Configuring IPX service information

In order that the client can always use a specific service, static service information can be manually
added to the service information table.
