That's the 16 bit number used in the Local Area VAXcluster protocols, right? If so,
since it's a LAN-local protocol, it needs to be coordinated on a (bridged) LAN but not
across routers.
I'm not sure how it's used. The manual says it's a number from 1 to 4095 or
61440 to 65535 to uniquely identify each cluster system on a LAN, but it didn't
specifically state whether it's something that might pass through a DECnet router.
I'll arbitrarily pick 2622 (since the cluster alias node ID is going to be 2.622), and
hope for a low probability of conflict?
