Figure 7-1 Menu 3.5 - Bridge Ethernet Setup The following table describes how to configure the Handle IPX field in Menu 3.5. Table 7-1 Bridge Ethernet Setup Menu - Handle IPX Field Configuration Handle IPX Field (Menu 3.5) Description None When there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or when you do not want to apply any special handling for IPX. Client When there are only client workstations on the LAN. RIP and SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) response packets will not trigger calls. Server When there are only IPX servers on the LAN. No RIP or SAP packets will trigger calls. In addition, during the time when the line is down, your Prestige will reply to watchdog messages from the servers on behalf of remote clients. The period of time that your Prestige will do this is linked to the Ethernet Address Timeout parameter in each remote node (see Remote Node Configuration). When a remote Ethernet address is aged out, there is no need to maintain its connection to the IPX server. If there are both clients and servers on the LAN, and the local clients will access the remote servers, set this field to Server but turn on the Dial-On-Broadcast parameter in Menu 11.3 to allow the client queries to trigger calls. 7-2 Bridge Setup
