So this is a "Pancake", square box that opens so the bottom comes out
with a plastic latch.
A 25xx is a 1U rack mount thing.
They share mostly the same code, so things can look oddly confucing,
on a 1U 2511, it says the boot is for a IGS/3000 box...

This very old SW runs DECnet in GRE tunnels... -:) (But it will not
fit in the 3000 with 4M memory. My mamemory fails me if it ws possible
to put 4M modules in the IGS/3000, I think the answer is no.)
And don't get to confuced, a 3000 was a 25xx painted white and it can
do 16M, but the original IGS (bigger box) can not do more than 4M.
I can't find any reference to the processor speed anywhere.
It;s not show anywhere except in data sheets .. -:)

(Nor do I know a TOPS-20 equivalent, but I would like to...)
As T10 and T20 shares the same code, the answer is the same for both:
it dont have such a command.
The command can be added(#63621873 on my list of things to do) but
it's still not to usefull as T10/T20 do not have the concept of a
permanent database for DECnet. As there are monitor calls to talk to
DECnet there is a small program "NODNAM.EXE" that reads
INI:NODNAMN.INI and loads the internal DECnet data structures...
nodnamn.ini can have both "set" and "define" lines..
set node 1.13 name nim
define node 1.13 name nim

Wow, that's odd. I have no idea why that'd be happening.
In this case thay think the own you and you get the cnnectivity that
they decide you should have, with the performance they decide....
(as they are only a local US network with a captive audience...)
Excellent, thank you! I have routes for area 59 via Reston.
Cool.. set host sol::

$in arpanet

By the way, I hope you know that VMS can copy the nodename database
directly from another machine without you having to hack files on your
own, if that is the reason why you asked for a file...
....that's why it's VMSnet.. (Cterm sends QIO calls...)

Ah dear. That'll be the ones then. Rather loud paddle-blowers in them as
I recall.
Think I have some breeding in a dusty corner somewhere.

Hi Peter.. when is this the IGS's that have a 16Mhz m68020 in them? I
think I've got one or two (Although I've not dug that deep in over a
decade).
At startup, it says:

DECnet must have been around at least from 1993, because the

module, were introduced in 1993. And they used IOS.
Did you mean DECnet support in IOS, or DECnet itself? DECnet itself
dates to the mid-1970s.
What I haven't found out is when the IP tunnels were introduced in the
IOS. It seems to be in IOS 11.2. So it is included in all recent
versions, but the Cisco 2500's have limited flash and RAM capabilites.
Therefore the recent IOS's cannot be used with older hardware. I suppose
the IOS 11.2 should be sufficient for tunneling DECnet over IP.
I'll bet much older releases than that would support this.
I have to check which versions I have on my 2500's. Most probably they
have an IP-only version of the IOS. I bought the 2500's cheap from a
local broker a few years ago.
I've got lots of IOS images if needed. Let me know if I can help.

I've reseated the SIMMs. I'll test for a while and see how it behaves now.
Good luck!
The 1600 does not have DECnet capable software.
Perhaps Brian can help out here.
Perhaps. The 1600 doesn't look or sound as impressive as the IGS though :-)
Indeed. ;) The IGS became the 3000, which then sorta morphed into the
68030-based 2500 platform. We all know how long those little buggers
lasted. I still see them in service from time to time today! Damn good
hardware. Simple and bulletproof.

Another file you might want to look at, if you prefer, would be
MIM::US:[DECNET]NODENAMES.DAT. The format should be obvious if you
check either that, or FIX.CMD
By the way, I hope you know that VMS can copy the nodename
database directly from another machine without you having to
hack files on your own, if that is the reason why you asked
for a file...
Assuming you are running Phase IV, just do:
"MCR NCP COPY KNOWN NODES FROM MIM TO BOTH"
and you are set.
replace MIM with 1.13, if you don't have MIM in your database already.

Be careful using "MCR NCP COPY KNOWN NODES FROM MIM TO BOTH". If you
have a cluster you may delete important records.
