USER’S GUIDE
348 CyberSWITCH
Otherwise, a WAN connection is not established. With triggered RIP/SAP, this field must also be
enabled for an active
WAN peer type to function properly.
IPXWAN PROTOCOL
The IPXWAN protocol option is not yet completely functional. In the future, it will provide
interoperability with Novell products.
IPX ROUTING PROTOCOL
Indicates the method, if any, the remote device will be using to maintain routes and service tables.
N ONE
Specifies no RIP and SAP protocols (neither periodic nor triggered). You must configure
static routes and static services.
Use the NONE option when the remote device, such as a single client, does not support
standard RIP/SAP or triggered RIP/SAP.
RIP/SAP
Specifies NetWare Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or NetWare Service Advertisement
Protocol (SAP). IPX RIP/SAP are broadcast protocols; if enabled, RIP/SAP periodically
broadcast routing/service information across WAN circuits. If enabled, you can configure
additional RIP/SAP options for this entry. If disabled, the CyberSWITCH will not process
any NetWare RIP/SAP packets.
T RIGGERED RIP/SAP
Specifies a modified version of RIP/SAP in which information is broadcast on the WAN
only when there has been an update to the RIP or SAP tables or a change in the reachability
of a next hop router.
WAN P EER T YPE
WAN peer type applies to triggered RIP/SAP only. The peer type determines how broadcasts are
handled for a specific device if something in the RIP/SAP table changes:
A CTIVE
An active WAN peer receives broadcasts and conveyed information at all times.
P
ASSIVE
A passive WAN peer receives broadcasts and/or conveyed information only when a
connection is up between the router and the WAN peer.
Note that you must enable the Make Calls field and define the WAN peer type as active before the
CyberSWITCH will dial out to this remote device with triggered RIP/SAP updates.
B RIDGING
Defines the remote device as a bridge and not an IPX router. Since bridges operate at the MAC
layer, the system must provide MAC layer emulation for remote bridge devices, while continuing
to route the network layer IPX protocol. This field must be enabled for remote LAN devices.
M AKE CALLS FOR BRIDGE DATA
This feature is not yet supported for IPX Remote LANs. Therefore, leave this element disabled.
IPX E XTERNAL WAN N ETWORK N UMBER
Specifies a user-configurable IPX external network number on the WAN. This parameter can be a
hexadecimal value from 1 to 4 bytes in length.The default value is none.
