TB: Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 section.

DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet

The router’s shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. You must turn it on and set several DECnet parameters.

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

•Set DECnet area

•Set DECnet node

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

TB: Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.

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