If you don't want to send RIP/SAP updates that often, you can change the
update times by
ipx update interval {sap|rip} x where x is in seconds - this is IOS 12.
For earlier IOS (11.2 anyway, not sure which version 11.3 uses), the commands are
ipx sap-interval x (for SAP updates - x is in minutes)
ipx update-time x (for RIP updates - x is in seconds)
An unusual instance of Cisco actually making the IOS commands more intuitive (or at
least more consistent) instead of less!

I have! (Well, thinking back, maybe it was only 128 K?) SAP stands for
Service Advertising Protocol. Cisco has spelled out the acronym incorrectly
for years.

IPX RIP sends every 60 seconds by default. IP RIP sends every 30 seconds by
default. You're thinking of IGRP when you say IGRP perhaps?
Sorry for being so picky. Your answer is right on!
