USER’S GUIDE272 CyberSWITCHIPX I SOLATED MODE BACKGROUND I NFORMATIONWhen operating with isolated mode enabled, the CyberSWITCH does not relay IPX datagramsreceived from the WAN to other IPX routers/hosts located on the WAN. IPX datagrams receivedfrom the WAN will be discarded if they need to be forwarded over the WAN. IPX datagramsreceived on the LAN interface are forwarded to the proper interface.IPX T RIGGERED RIP/SAPIPX Triggered RIP/SAP is a type of broadcast protocol used over WAN circuits for router-to-routerexchange of route and service information. Its broadcasts are “triggered” by events such as updatesor changes to route and service tables. Triggered RIP/SAP offers an alternative to running periodicbroadcasts over the WAN, and is especially useful when you consider the costs of periodicbroadcasts over WAN links.Triggered RIP and triggered SAP are user-configurable items which you enable in the on-nodedevice database (page 275). Under the Options Menu, IPX Routing, Triggered RIP/SAP, you candisplay the devices already configured for these features (i.e., the WAN peer list), as well asconfigure global timers (applicable to the RIP or SAP update packets).DISPLAYING WAN P EER L IST1.
