Hello all,
Question about area routers. I'm going to spend some time over the holiday break bringing some of my machines back online (I'm area 42). My current area router is making some very unsettling hard drive noises, so I'm thinking of retiring it. I recall reading somewhere that VMS Alpha is unable to be an area router - is that correct? I have a DS10L that will probably be my always-on machine.
I also have a Cisco 7206VXR router that can do DECnet. If I use a Cisco for my connectivity, do I need an area router, or does the Cisco fulfill this purpose?
Thanks in advance!
Ian

They don't seem to be listed in the node database or MIM::DECNET.TXT..

Also, the output of 'NCP SHOW EXEC CHAR' what are all the possible values for Type?
CHIMPY shows up as 'nonrouting IV' and GORVAX shows up as 'area'. What other possible options are there?
"Routing IV" for level-1 (non-area) routers.
Making some really good progress here.
Have a couple questions though about all this.
I'm doing 'NCP TELL foo SHOW KNOWN CIRC' and so my question about that is will all adjacent routers show up on that list?

Ignore this, I figured out the whole DEFINE/SET SERVICE thing too.
Sorry to bother you.

Brief summary: I want to connect a bunch of console cables to a DS200, and server them out using LAT.
I've started LAT on KUHAVX (same LAN segment) but can't see the port I've defined (with a name GVXCON and ACCESS=REMOTE) on the DS200.
The DS200 port config looks like this at the moment:
---- SNIP ---
Local> show port 2
Port 2: Server: HILADS
Character Size: 8 Input Speed: 9600
Flow Control: XON Output Speed: 9600
Parity: None Modem Control: Disabled
Access: Remote Local Switch: None
Backwards Switch: None Name: GVXCON
Break: Disabled Session Limit: 4
Forwards Switch: None Type: Soft
Preferred Service: None
Authorized Groups: 0
(Current) Groups: 0
Enabled Characteristics:
Autoprompt, Broadcast, DSRlogout, Inactivity Logout,
Input Flow Control, Loss Notification, Message Codes,
Output Flow Control, Verification
---- SNIP ---
However on KUHAVX LATCP SHOW SERVICES shows this:
--- SNIP ---
LATCP> show services
LAT Control Program
Service Name Status Identification
---------------- ----------- -------------------------------------------------
KUHAVX Available @SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT
--- SNIP ---
What am I doing wrong? What commands do I need to type into the DS200 to make it serve out the ports over LAT?

Ah welcome to the fun :)
I'll run a node database update later once they're added.
I see we have 21 areas active in recent days. Is this the most ever?
I've never seen more than 20 in the time I've been here.
