when I am doing IPX snapshot for IPX/RIP, (I don't want the RIP and SAP to activate the link), can I have access-list 900 permit any dialer-list 1 protocol ipx list 900 as the dialer list? and I did not have the following configuartion. ipx watchdog-spoof ipx spx-spoof?? Somehow I can't get that work. Also, what is the use of the following statement for? dialer map snapshot 1 name router_A broadcast 4371641 Is the above statement only needed on the client side? or also on the server side too?
