Nick,

I suppose that "rsup-only" allows one to take advantage of Enhanced
IGRP's incremental SAP update mechanism while using the RIP routing
protocol instead of the Enhanced IGRP routing protocol, then only
incremental SAP updates will be sent on the LAN interface.

Another option that I came across is to use "ipx update interval sap
changes-only". I belive this allows SAP updates to be sent only when the
SAP database changes. According to CCO, the changes-only keyword causes
the router to do the following:

  * Send a single, full broadcast update when the link comes up

  * Send appropriate triggered updates when the link is shut down

  * Send appropriate triggered updates when specific service information
    changes

However, the CCO does not say if the interface requires ipx rip or ipx
EIGRP running or maybe it doesn't matter, does any one know about this?
