They aren't supported on Integrity.
Only Ethernet LANs are.

Hmm, not ideal.
I do have 3 FDDI cards, do you know if the DEFPA cards work on OpenVMS for Integrity boxes?

Unfortunately that configuration violates the rule of full connectivity. All cluster members must have direct connectivity to other members.
But if you add a FDDI-Ethernet-bridge, you should get a "legal" configuration.

I've come up with an alternative solution:
I'll use ethernet for the cluster interconnect as I have ethernet ports on all the machines.
However, this leaves CHIMPY without an ethernet-based TCP/IP connection. So my question is this:
Can I hook up two machines (running VMS) with FDDI and have the second machine route packets onto the ethernet segment for me? This wasn't immediately clear from the documentation. I assume if the second machine is set up as a L1 router DECNET over this setup will be possible?

Yeah. Saw that afterwards. I saw that you hadn't specified a port number, but if the problem was when running simh, that detail had not been relevant. :-)

Not sure what you are doing. Is the problem coming from running simh, or from running the bridge program???

Yup, that was it, forgot the port number after the IP. Works now, cheers.

If I remember correctly, you must tell it a port number for any remote bridge
or it will consider "silverback.sampsa.com" and such as a local device, which
obviously does not exist. Try appending ":4711" or whatever at the end of the
second line :)
