>DECnet On/Bridging/Off

This set of radio buttons controls how DECnet packets are handled for this interface.

• If set to DECnet On, then DECnet packets received on this interface are routed to the correct interface on the router.

• If set to DECnet Bridging, then any DECnet packets received on this interface are forwarded to the router’s internal bridge. This setting makes this WAN interface a member of the “DECnet Bridge Group” for this router.

ϖNote: The DECnet Bridging radio button will be grayed out unless bridging has been turned on globally for the device using the Main Bridging Configuration Dialog Box (under Global/Bridging) and locally on this inter- face using the Bridging: WAN Dialog Box (under WAN/Bridging).

If it is set to DECnet Off, then any DECnet packets received on this interface are discarded.
