From: ve7eje on 19 Feb 2010 11:09 I am hoping someone can help with this problem We currently have 2 DECNet hosts on opposite sides of a single Cisco router. I have the following config on that router which works fine... decnet routing 6.200 decnet node-type routing-iv ! interface FastEthernet0/0 decnet cost 5 ! interface FastEthernet0/1 decnet cost 5 We are moving to a more complex intersite IP network which looks more like this. SiteAHost <> SiteARtr <> TelcoSiteARtr <> TelcoMPLSWAN <> TelcoSiteBRtr <> SiteBRtr <> SiteBHost I have control over both SiteARtr and SiteBRtr but none of the Telco equipment although they "assure" me that they support DECNet. If I simply duplicate the existing commands on the new Site A and B routers, will it work? Is there anything else I need to do? Will the Telco need to add anything to their configuration? Thanks -Rob-

Unless you get a Layer 2 service from them in which case they do not "see" the DECnet (L3) traffic. One option might be to do your own L2TPv3 tunnel or maybe you can tunnel DECNet over IP. Not sure. int tu 1 decnet commands here source ip.address dest ip.address Ask them for confirmation in writing (a proper letter through the post) from their Chief Technology Officer that they will support your proposed DECNet solution.

Seems to me they gave notice several IOS versions ago that a number of protocols (including DECNet) were going away, but only Vines actually went. On the other hand I thought I'd noticed that DECNet-specific commands had become more hidden lately, with even the simple shows requiring a privileged mode. Dan Lanciani ddl(a)danlan.*com |
