For 11.3, from the horses mouth (cisco online):
On serial lines, by default, if an Enhanced IGRP neighbor is present, the
Cisco IOS software sends SAP updates only when the SAP table changes. On
Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI interfaces, by default, the software sends
SAP updates periodically. To reduce the amount of bandwidth required to send
SAP updates, you might want to disable the periodic sending of SAP updates
on LAN interfaces. Do this only when all nodes out this interface are
Enhanced IGRP peers; otherwise, loss of SAP information on the other nodes
will result.
To send SAP updates only when a change occurs in the SAP table and to send
only the SAP changes, perform the following task in interface configuration
mode:
Task Command
Send SAP updates only when a change in the SAP table occurs, and send only
the SAP changes. ipx sap-incremental eigrp autonomous-system-number
rsup-only
When you enable incremental SAP using the ipx sap-incremental eigrp
rsup-only command, Cisco IOS software disables the exchange of route
information via Enhanced IGRP for that interface.
