IPX TRIGGERED RIP/SAP

IPX Triggered RIP/SAP is a type of broadcast protocol used over WAN circuits for router-to-router

exchange of route and service information. Its broadcasts are “triggered” by events such as updates

or changes to route and service tables. Triggered RIP/SAP offers an alternative to running periodic

broadcasts over the WAN, and is especially useful when you consider the costs of periodic

broadcasts over WAN links.

Triggered RIP and triggered SAP are user-configurable items which you enable in the on-node

device database (page 345). Under the Options Menu, IPX Routing, Triggered RIP/SAP, you can

display the devices already configured for these features (i.e., the WAN peer list), as well as

configure global timers (applicable to the RIP or SAP update packets).

DISPLAYING WAN PEER LIST

1. Select Triggered RIP/SAP from IPX Routing Menu. A menu similar to the following will be

displayed:

2. Select WAN Peer List. The system displays the configured devices for which the triggered RIP/

SAP feature enabled. It also displays the WAN peer type as active or passive (page 348).

Keep in mind that you cannot make changes from this menu; you can only display information. To

make changes to the WAN peer list, go to the Device Table Menu (page 344).
