Automatic Broadcast Control (ABC)
Advanced Concepts
Enabling Both IP and IPX (IP_IPX)
Enabling ABC for IP and IPX causes the switch to:
■ Send a proxy IP ARP reply for hosts whose addresses the switch has
learned.
■ Send a proxy NSQ (nearest server query) reply for services the switch has
learned.
Enabling for both IP and IPX also allows you to choose whether to:
■ Enable ABC for IP RIP Control and/or IPX RIP/SAP control, as described
in the preceding subsections.
■ Set a broadcast limit for either all ports in the switch or, if VLANs are
configured, for all ports in the selected VLAN.
To Configure ABC. Use this procedure to configure or edit the ABC settings
for a switch or VLAN.
1. Beginning at the Main Menu, select Configuration to display the
