I had a quick look in to this today and started setting up a lab, but
got distracted by real work. From what I can see though, you can't
execute any interface configuration commands. So, it would have to be
a complete copy of the config from FTP to NVRAM followed by a reboot.
Personally, I'd be a bit uneasy about downloading a random config
periodically and just loading it on to my router. If it was going to
be a mesh I'd rather get an update with the details of endpoints, etc.
and do it myself.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of that either.
Nor am I. I'm annoyed with how limited KRON is I expected it to be as [powerful as the rest of IOS.
Well...big Ciscos are usually used in environments where they are
either remotely managed centrally by a big software package, or by a
staff of people manually. I was quite surprised to hear that KRON even
existed, given how I've seen Ciscos managed in the past.

For most of us, yes. Not enough native IPv6 out there. :(
Exactly. :(
We need more native IPv6.

On a LAN without *any* DECnet routers all nodes are reachable irrespective of their DECnet address.
Once the first router comes on-line the mechanism fails.
HECnet is not running out of areas. But I feel it's pretty useless tot "claim" anarea for just 10 hosts.
The bridge program simulates a LAN and I feel that on a single LAN area routing may have its uses but not necessarily for us.
And even the routed links don't need to separate areas. That why level 1 routing exists.
Basically all our nodes fit in one area, perhaps 2.
Hans.

Steve, since Wolfgang indicated he wanted to run an endnode, you'll have to decide the area.
Am I the only one that thinks an area dedicated to just endnodes is a good idea?
Probably, since that would be impossible. An area needs atleast one area router... Or are you saying that you think we should set up one area for people who only want to run endnodes? That seems like going over the river to get water.
I was thinking more like that, yes. I see your point though, maybe save that for when we're running out of areas.
Then everyone who wants to run an endnode needs to connect to some specific endpoint. And what for? There are absolutely no problems with having just an endnode anywhere.
That would get rather difficult, I see.
And since you need to have an area router, what is the problem of using an existing area router. Preferrably one close to you, and then just place your endnode in that area.
I am totally missing the point here, in which it seems people think that endnodes are somehow difficult. They are the simplest of DECnet nodes.

Now as things settled I am back with my SimH/Vax (running 24/7 on a
raspberry pi) and my Alpha (an Alphastation 255 I newly aquired).
There are Decstations in Storage too (these odd MIPS Boxes) - maybe
one of these could be connected too - provided there's DECNet Support
in Ultrix.
There is. You just need to find the distribution.
Nice. I should have approbiate media and will give this a try.
You need to figure out who to connect to first, then we can fix the node
numbers. I have a terribly short memory. Who was it that could handle
Multinet with dynamic IP? Steve?
Care to help out? Also, Wolfgang, do you want to set a level 1 router, or do
you just epxect all your machines to be endnodes, and have each on have
their own link?
My memory isn't best too, so don't worry ;)
Primary intention is to bring up at least the simulated VAX 24/7. The
other machines would run on occasional basis. As my DecNET experience
is way too rusty best practice would be operating the simulated VAX as
Endnode for start.
It'd be greatly appreciated if Steve could help out with the Dynamic IP....
Regards,
Wolfgang
Thank you for your replies!
If it is easier for you I can set up an area router too. I only
thought running end nodes would not occupy a whole area...
Steve, I gladly sent you an email...

Wolfgang
