HI,
I will be bringing up a new decnet area on hecnet (Area 22) in the

Can I please have info on the peering for IP and any other config

So, anyone know if the DECrouter will do, and who would be willing to

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/decbrom
a.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.
Thanks, Mark
Ah, I think I get it now I didn't realise it could do this. So it might be
another way for me to get onto HECnet using some real hardware, it might be
fun to try that. I have a DEChub to put one of these into.
Do all DECbrouter models do this? Or might I need a firmware update?
Regards
Rob

Here's an example from my configuration. We'll need to wait for Brian
to get you worked into the database though.
interface Tunnel54
description HECnet tunnel for Peter Lothberg Reston VA (Area 59)
[Version:195]
no ip address
decnet cost 20
tunnel source BVI1
tunnel destination 199.0.131.2
tunnel path-mtu-discovery

Thanks Dave ?

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,
Yes would be very interested if you can find an image, that would allow me to have the DECbrouter purely as an L1/L2 router for playing with and leave the 1800 for the permanent peer links.
Thanks, Mark

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.

You seemed to have disregarded the possibility of the DECbrouter doing the same thing your user mode router do... :-)
