DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.

•Set DECnet on (globally, and for a port)

•Set DECnet area

•Set DECnet node

CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECnet Routing) and the DECnet: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 section.

ϖNote: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally. In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.

Frame Relay Configuration

This section covers the settings required for Frame Relay operation of the DS3 WAN interface.

Internal DS3 CSU/DSU Link Configuration

Required for Dedicated Line Operation

This is the only mode of operation supported via the built-in DS3 CSU/DSU.

•Set Dedicated connection

•Set Frame Relay connection

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config

WAN 0 section.

Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation

Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.

Frame Relay DLCI Mappings

If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information. To connect to other vendors’ routers which do not support IARP, you must provide DLCI-to-protocol mapping information.

ϖNote: Many Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) do not support IARP as a default. If your WAN interface will be connected to an ISP via Frame Relay, check with your ISP technical staff on whether or not you must manually enter DLCI information.

CV: Use the DLCI Mapping Database window.

TB: Use configure and set the DLCI keyword in the Frame Relay WAN 0 section.
