GRE doesn't need to specifically support DECnet; it should happily
tunnel anything. All you need to do is set "decnet cost <n>" on your
tunnel interface.

Dave McGuire and I have a GRE tunnel with decnet routed over it on our
cisco routers.
It works!
It's easy, too!
If you have a cisco router and want to play let me know. If you don't
have the right version of IOS I can get it for you.

I have three cisco boxes for my DECnet and would be happy to do a
GRE tunnel..
The 11.x does have DECnet routing for sure. Even the 9.x had DECnet routing, because the DECbrouter90's came with IOS 9.x and then both DECnet and OSI routing was included. But I'm not sure when GRE was introduced. I have the 9.x manuals for the DECbrouter90's but I'm not sure if DECnet can be tunneled using the tunneling which was in that version. In the manuals there aren't anything mentioned about that.
I have also the 11.x IOS manual. I have to check there if GRE is mentioned with DECnet.
But if someone knows the answer, please tell.

Kari

Cisco has a feature navigator tool on their website. That can be used to figure it out.

A quick check you could do is:
conf t
decnet ?
If you get a list of sub-commands you should be good to go.
If you don't, email me a list of the exact models of routers, the amount of ram they have and the amount of flash they have and I'll get you the latest images.
He may have a flash and RAM issue; the 2501 tops out at (if memory
serves) 16MB of RAM. I don't recall how much flash they can take
offhand. 2500s run from flash, as opposed to loading the contents into
RAM and executing from there, which is a nice advantage for reducing
memory requirements for a given feature set.

It's definitely a feature set issue. The last time I did anything
with GRE (before this anyway) was between a 2501 and an AGS+; the former
was running IOS 10 and the latter 11. DECnet support in IOS goes back a
good bit before that, which shouldn't be surprising given the history
(and reason for existence) of Cisco.
Cisco has a feature navigator tool on their website. That can be used to figure it out.
I've not tried that yet. That sounds very handy.
