Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide

 

 

When you set up an on-demand link with AppleTalk, you should care- fully monitor link usage to determine whether the link is being activated only when it is needed. Additional router configuration will be required for many networks in order to achieve optimal link usage.

Set update method

CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: WAN Dialog Box.

TB: Use configure and set the Updates keyword in the AppleTalk WAN 0 (and/or WAN 1) section.

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.

WAN interfaces which are set for PPP dial-on-demand operation should have their DECnet hello timers and DECnet routing timers set for a fairly long period, since the link will be brought up when this informa- tion is transmitted.

Because of the need to regularly bring the link up to exchange routing information, on-demand operation using DECnet is not recommended.

Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)

Set DECnet area

Set DECnet node

Set hello timer

Set routing timer

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

TB: Use configure and set the HelloTimer and Mode keywords in the DECnet WAN 0 (and/or WAN 1) section. 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.

Suggested for DECnet

Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
