Hmmm... Didn't know much about DECbrouter until I looked it up following
these emails. If I have it right
(http://manx.classiccmp.org/**collections/mds-199909/cd2/**
network/decbroma.pdf<http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/mds-199909/cd2/network/decbroma.pdf>)
all DECbrouters have only one Ethernet interface and a one or more
(depending on model) WAN connections using synchronous serial lines. I
am
wondering how this could be used on HECnet. I don't think anyone offers
any
synchronous serial way into HECnet, or am I wrong?
That leaves the one Ethernet interface. To be able to use that would
need
the bridge (or my user mode router, or some other hardware router) to
be on
the same LAN. But at that point there wouldn't be a lot of point having
the
DECbrouter as it would not have anything to route.
Have I missed something? Is the DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) a different beast?
Regards
Rob
I should be able to set up the DECbrouter 90 as a one armed router
behind my main internet Router which is a Cisco 1800. All I need it for is
to encapsulate DECnet and then forward it to a peer via my internet
connected router. It won't be the highest performance but it will get the
Area up, I can then change it at a later date if required.
BTW, my Cisco 1800 does not support DECnet or GRE so this is not an
option.
Does anyone have any peering info or the config used either on a Cisco
or DECbrouter.
Hi Mark,
I have a Cisco 857 which provides my connection to the 'net. I have the
following NAT rules on my Cisco 867 (gatekeeper) to pass GRE/IP packets
through to my DECbrouter 90T2:
interface Vlan1
ip address 172.17.111.254 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
interface Dialer0
ip nat outside
ip nat inside source static tcp 172.17.111.251 1723 interface Dialer0
1723
Then on my DECbrouter 90T2 (a12rtr) I just set up the tunnels, like so:
interface Tunnel52
description HECnet tunnel for ...
no ip address
decnet cost 20
tunnel source Ethernet0
tunnel destination ....
However, as Dave pointed out (and I said earlier) when Brian catches up
with the list he can add you to the mesh and you will receive all the
configuration details from him.
I am also likely able to track down a version of the Cisco 1800 IOS that
can do DECnet and GRE/IP (if you're interested).
Regards, Tim.
Hi Tim,
Did you manage to find a version of IOS for the 1800 that could support
DECnet?
Thanks, Mark

Hello!
Interesting question.
I recall reading about the original details, read the original BITNET,
and indeed studying how it worked. And several other options attached
to it, but that's as far as it went here.

V11.1 supports GRE, Decnet IV Level 1 and 2 so I am hoping so. :-)
Brian can get you hooked up with his automatic meshed-tunnel config
generator, when he catches up on list mail.
Things have been very busy, but I will try to get this dealt with this
week. I'm
actually moving everything to a new colo box so this will coincide with
everyone needing to change the IP they allow SNMP to come from.
Mark, as soon as I've moved everything I'll let you know what you need to
do.
-brian
I have bought myself a DECbrouter 90T2a, which reports IOS 11.2. I have
never done anything with IOS but from other emails in this thread it looks
fairly simple if you have the necessary parameters.
Please let me know what I would need to configure. Note however, that I am
only doing this for fun and to learn something new. I will probably not use
this as my long-term connection to HECnet, although it will be a useful
backup.

However, as Dave pointed out (and I said earlier) when Brian catches up
with the list he can add you to the mesh and you will receive all the
configuration details from him.
I am also likely able to track down a version of the Cisco 1800 IOS that
can do DECnet and GRE/IP (if you're interested).
Regards, Tim.
Hi Tim,
Did you manage to find a version of IOS for the 1800 that could support
DECnet?
Thanks, Mark
Hi Mark,
I did. Well, I found an 1800 with an appropriate image on it. I'll dump it sometime next week and get it to you.
Regards, Tim.

HI,
I will be bringing up a new decnet area on hecnet (Area 22) in the
near future.
Can I please have info on the peering for IP and any other config
details that may help. I will be using a DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) V11.1.
So, anyone know if the DECrouter will do, and who would be willing to act
as
a peer?

Hmmm... Didn't know much about DECbrouter until I looked it up following
these emails. If I have it right
(http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/mds-199909/cd2/network/decbroma.pdf)
all DECbrouters have only one Ethernet interface and a one or more
(depending on model) WAN connections using synchronous serial lines. I am
wondering how this could be used on HECnet. I don't think anyone offers any
synchronous serial way into HECnet, or am I wrong?
That leaves the one Ethernet interface. To be able to use that would need
the bridge (or my user mode router, or some other hardware router) to be on
the same LAN. But at that point there wouldn't be a lot of point having the
DECbrouter as it would not have anything to route.
Have I missed something? Is the DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) a different beast?

I should be able to set up the DECbrouter 90 as a one armed router behind my main internet Router which is a Cisco 1800. All I need it for is to encapsulate DECnet and then forward it to a peer via my internet connected router. It won't be the highest performance but it will get the Area up, I can then change it at a later date if required.
BTW, my Cisco 1800 does not support DECnet or GRE so this is not an option.
Does anyone have any peering info or the config used either on a Cisco or DECbrouter.
Hi Mark,
I have a Cisco 857 which provides my connection to the 'net. I have the following NAT rules on my Cisco 867 (gatekeeper) to pass GRE/IP packets through to my DECbrouter 90T2:
interface Vlan1
ip address 172.17.111.254 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
interface Dialer0
ip nat outside
ip nat inside source static tcp 172.17.111.251 1723 interface Dialer0 1723
Then on my DECbrouter 90T2 (a12rtr) I just set up the tunnels, like so:
interface Tunnel52
description HECnet tunnel for ...
no ip address
decnet cost 20
tunnel source Ethernet0
tunnel destination ....
