Song,

This also disables rip on network 10 and hence on int e0 and leaves only
nlsp running on e0:

interface e0
 ipx nlsp enable
 ipx network 10

ipx router rip
 no network 10

Isn't it ?

As I understand "ipx nlsp rip" just gives more granularity since there 3
switches available(on/off/auto). Am I right ?
