Mode
You can select a SAP mode that is appropriate for your network. SAP can
operate in any of three modes:
■ Off — The system ignores all incoming SAP packets and does not generate
any SAP packets of its own.
■ Passive — The system processes all incoming SAP packets, but it does not
broadcast periodic or triggered SAP updates or respond to SAP requests.
■ Active — The system processes all incoming SAP packets, responds to
explicit requests for routing information, and broadcasts periodic and
triggered SAP updates.
