One more for the Cisco GRE mesh: Seeking Tunnel End-Points

by supratim＠riseup.net

This email is directed to owners of Cisco routers with GRE tunnels; to the best of my limited knowledge, Dave McGuire, Ian McLaughlin, Brian Hechinger, Mark Darvill, Cory Smelosky, Peter L?thberg ... who else? I already have a stable GRE tunnel to A12RTR for a while now, and am looking for end-points on other Cisco routers on HECnet to connect to. I will be coming in from IP address 45.62.248.66, DECnet node 1.919. If possible, please let me know what GRE end-points I can connect to. You can, of course, DM me too. Thank you.

DECnet Phase-V usage within HECnet

by steve＠davidson.net

Anyone using DECnet Phase-V on VAX/VMS V7.3 in the HECnet community? I am rebuilding SGC::. It is MUCH bigger and faster so I may go the Phase-V route if it has any real value. Comments? Thanks! -Steve

VAX Lisp

by Keith.Halewood＠pitbulluk.org

Hi, I've been seeing references to VAX Lisp installation savesets available on CONDIST media (March 1993) through google search but the links go nowhere and the messages are around 7 years old anyway. So... Does anybody have the media I could 'borrow' and the product key, pretty please? There are references to its status being 'retired' like Bliss32. I didn't get a response from HP's hobbyist administrator regarding it being available through them. Hoping someone can help. They have the version I want running at the Living Computers Museum on Rosie which recently moved over from a 780-5 to a 6000-640 but it appears still to be sysgen'd for 24Mb main memory (I'm sure the 6000 has more than that) and my pagefilequota isn't big enough to do the Lisp'ing I want to do and my working set limits would result in a horrendous amount of paging. Hence the need to do it locally. Regards, Keith

Paging Oleg Safiullin

by supratim＠riseup.net

Hi Oleg, If possible, I would like to set up a MULTINET link to CTAKAH. On this side, it will be IMPVAX (52.23.221.223, 1.559). By the way, Novosibirsk looked very beautiful in the night when our Moscow-Chita train pulled up around 4 AM.

DECnet Phase-V usage within HECnet

by uusimaki＠exdecfinland.org

There are some services available on Phase V which aren't on Phase IV like DECnet-over-IP, DTSS and a few others. If you like to use those, then Phase V is your choice.Personally I use Phase V on most Alphas and on bigger VAXen. Others run Phase IV.KariSent from Samsung tablet. -------- Original message -------- From: Steve Davidson <steve at davidson.net> Date: 2/18/19 18:42 (GMT+02:00) To: HECnet Distribution List <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Subject: [HECnet] DECnet Phase-V usage within HECnet Anyone using DECnet Phase-V on VAX/VMS V7.3 in the HECnet community?I am rebuilding SGC::.?

Cisco DECnet Routing

by tim＠sneddon.id.au

Hi everyone, I've some across a bit of a problem and was hoping that someone else here has either experienced it or is able to have a clue as to what is going on. I run a Cisco 1841 (a12rtr) here which is my link to the HECnet. This is established with three GRE tunnels to area 22, 61 and 42. This router is inside a network that is edged with a Cisco ASA (gatekeeper). The router a12rtr also has other GRE tunnels and 6in4 tunnels. All tunnels are established and traffic is flowing over the ipv4 and ipv6 tunnels without issue. There is also traffic flowing over the DECnet tunnels as well. However... Despite having adjacencies for the three DECnet routers on the other end of the DECnet tunnels, my routing table is not filling up. Area Cost Hops Next Hop to Node Expires Prio *12 0 0 (Local) -> A12RTR Node Cost Hops Next Hop to Node Expires Prio *(Area) 0 0 (Local) -> A12RTR *BENDER 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> BENDER 60 *TRON 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> TRON 99 *ELYSIM 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> ELYSIM 1525 *A12RTR 0 0 (Local) -> A12RTR a12rtr#show decnet neighbors Net Node Interface MAC address Flags 0 22.1023 Tunnel58 0000.0000.0000 A 0 42.1022 Tunnel51 0000.0000.0000 A 0 61.1023 Tunnel53 0000.0000.0000 A 0 12.2 FastEthernet0/1 aa00.0400.0230 0 12.3 FastEthernet0/1 aa00.0400.0330 0 12.12 FastEthernet0/1 aa00.0400.0c30 I can also see that the routers are communicating when I switch on debug: *Feb 15 04:19:37.007: DNET-ADJ: Endnode hello from 12.3 *Feb 15 04:19:39.835: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 hello from 42.1022 *Feb 15 04:19:39.835: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 (IV+) hello from 42.1022 *Feb 15 04:19:43.207: DNET-ADJ: Endnode hello from 12.2 *Feb 15 04:19:45.211: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 hello from 61.1023 *Feb 15 04:19:45.211: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 (IV+) hello from 61.1023 *Feb 15 04:19:46.315: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 hello from 22.1023 *Feb 15 04:19:46.315: DNET-ADJ: Level 2 (IV+) hello from 22.1023 So, I am a bit confused as to why there is no routing being exchanged. Is this just a bug and I need to give the router a reboot (it has only been up for 6 days).? I did notice this: a12rtr#show decnet database Area/Node Cost Hops Next Hop to Node Status 12 0 0 (Local) -> A12RTR Active 22 20 1 Tunnel58 -> 22.1023 Backup 42 20 1 Tunnel51 -> 42.1022 Backup 61 20 1 Tunnel53 -> 61.1023 Backup BENDER 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> BENDER Active TRON 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> TRON Active ELYSIM 10 1 FastEthernet0/1 -> ELYSIM Active A12RTR 0 0 (Local) -> A12RTR Active The tunnels are all listed as "backup". I've tried a lot of different things and I'm still experimenting, but I still don't have an answer. Despite a very long time working with this stuff I've never encountered a situation where the routing table did not populate. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :-) Regards, Tim.

Simplest PDP-11

by wonko＠4amlunch.net

What is the simplest PDP-11 CPU/peripheral design that is capable of running RSX-11, RSTS/E or BSD? Also, what is the minimum disk space needed to install those operating systems? I have a plan. Probably not a good one but I'll likely learn a lot in the the process so it won't be a waste of time. -brian
