Installation and Getting Started Guide
Modify the RIP Advertisement Interval
The IPX RIP advertisement interval specifies how often the routing switch sends IPX RIP updates to neighboring
IPX routers. The update intervals are separate for RIP and SAP and are configurable on an individual interface
basis.
By default, the routing switch sends an IPX RIP update every 60 seconds. You can change the interval to be from
10 65535 seconds. You cannot disable the advertisements.
NOTE: If you change an advertisement interval, you do not need to change the age time. The software
automatically calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer, which is 3 by
default.
To change the RIP advertisement interval, use the following CLI method.
USING THE CLI
EXAMPLE:
To change the advertisement interval for IPX RIP advertisements sent on interface 1/1 from 60 seconds to 30
seconds, enter the following commands:
HP9300(config) int e 1/1
HP9300(config-if-1/1) ipx update-time 30
HP9300(config-if-1/1) write memory
Syntax: ipx update-time <interval>
The <interval> can be from 10 65535 seconds. The default is 60.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot modify the RIP advertisement interval using the Web management interface.
Modify the SAP Advertisement Interval
The IPX SAP advertisement interval specifies how often the routing switch sends IPX SAP updates to neighboring
IPX routers. The update intervals are separate for RIP and SAP and are configurable on an individual interface
basis.
By default, the routing switch sends an IPX SAP update every 60 seconds. You can change the interval to be from
10 65535 seconds. You cannot disable the advertisements.
NOTE: If you change an advertisement interval, you do not need to change the age time. The software
automatically calculates the age time by multiplying the advertisement interval times the age timer, which is 3 by
default.
To change the SAP advertisement packet size, use the following CLI method.
USING THE CLI
EXAMPLE:
To change the advertisement interval for IPX SAP advertisements sent on interface 1/1 from 60 seconds to 120
seconds, enter the following commands:
HP9300(config) int e 1/1
HP9300(config-if-1/1) ipx sap-interval 120
HP9300(config-if-1/1) write memory
Syntax: ipx sap-interval <interval>
The <interval> can be from 10 65535 seconds. The default is 60.
