Hi,
Following a message I posted a few weeks ago i finally managed to get the DEC routing to work OK between the 2 routers over our frame link!! (thank God and all who gave me some advice)...however....the 2 clusters still do not "talk" using DECnet.
I need someones advice, if I use the ping decnet 1.X (where X is the remote vax address) and i get a response, does this mean that the DEC protocol is enabled??
I can also use the show decnet traffic and I can see that Hello packets are being exchanged (see below)
Total: 120860 received, 0 format errors, 0 unimplemented
0 not a gateway, 0 no memory, 0 no routing vector
7 non-empty queue encountered
Hellos: 62350 received, 0 bad, 0 other area, 62383 sent
Level 1 routing: 58495 received, 0 bad, 0 other area, 58497 sent
Level 2 routing: 0 received, 0 not primary router, 2 sent
Data: 20 received, 0 not long format, 0 too many visits
5 forwarded, 0 returned, 0 converted, 15 local destination
0 access control failed, 0 no route, 1 encapsulation failed
0 inactive network, 0 incomplete map
Im wondering if its a host configuration problem or there is a Dec switch in the network between the two, could this affect the routing??
So, Id like to know...
1 ) Have I enabled DEC correctly??
2 ) Any ideas!!!??
Thanks very much guys...
