If you simply wish to filter out all updates *except* the Netware file =
servers you can
use an output sap filter on the wan interface of *each* router. (I am =
assuming that you
have IOS feature sets on your routers which support IPX.) For example:
Router A
----------------------------------------
ipx routing
access-list 1001 permit -1 4
access-list 1001 deny -1 <------ not necessary due to implicit deny =
but I prefer to
have it in there for readability
interface s 0
ipx network AC
ipx output-sap-filter 1001
interface e 0
ipx network A
-----------------------------------------
After you implement the output sap filter, wait 60 seconds and do a show =
ipx servers.
The non-server entries for the remote sites should go away. Check out =
the link below for
more information.

As for implementing IPX EIGRP, this would depend on the speed of your =
WAN links and the
amount of required (i.e. servers) SAP traffic. Using IPX/RIP, it takes =
480 bytes every
60 seconds to advertise 7 SAP services. If you have fast links and a =
small amount of
required SAP traffic then implementing IPX EIGRP might be unnecessary. =
If on the other
hand you have lots of required SAP traffic I would definitely implement =
IPX EIGRP. If
you do setup it up, don't forget to disable IPX/RIP for the WAN =
interfaces. For example:
Router A
-------------------
ipx routing
int e 0
ipx network A
int s 0
ipx network AC
ipx router eigrp 100
network AC
network A
ipx router rip
no network AC
--------------------------------------
Hope this helps,
