4.7.3 IPX SAP FILTER MENU (WAN or Ethernet)
SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) is used on Novell™ networks to inform
workstations and file servers of what services the network can offer. The IPX
SAP filter only operates when the IPX mode is set to route.
The Router maintains an internal table of known services. It receives SAP
updates on either port and broadcasts the information to the other port. The
filter allows selected information to be ignored on receipt and hence not
stored in the SAP filter table. If a SAP update is not in the table it will be
dropped and propagated to the other port.
A filter table is available for each port. Each table has 16 entries and is
searched sequentially until a match is found. Each line can be set to pass or
fail.
A SAP entry contains six elements, but the filter can only act on the following
three; Service
TYPE,
Socket Address (
FROM SKT, TO SKT
) and
SERVER
NAME
.
The following fields are ignored:
Network Address
