Hello,

Is it the same ?

interface e0
 ipx nlsp enable
 ipx network 10
 ipx nlsp rip off

and

ipx router rip
 no network 10

I mean, if I put "no network 10" under rip statement or put "ipx nlsp rip
off" under interface config ?
Will it be the same ?

The same time, I understand that disabling particular network under "ipx
router rip" will no stop advertising SAP updates.
So, in the case when we want to stop saps under nlsp we have to put "ipx
nlsp sap off" under interface.

What is the purpose of disabling sap under nlsp: "ipx nlsp sap off" ?
In this case we will not advertise/get any saps. I thought that saps are
vital necessary in IPX world, because they are advertising reachability of
services across the network. I understand that there are very noisy and
there are commands like "ipx sap-incremental" exist in eigrp, but what is
the purpose to disable sap at all ? Security / filtering purposes ??
BTW if there is any commands under ipx rip and ipx nlsp that enable
incremental sap updates like under eigrp ?
Thanks,
Dmitry
