[HECnet] ROOSTA routing problem / NIKKEL

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

That's what I meant :-) sorry for the obscure language. More precisely: phase IV has no clue about phase V. It is possible to get information from a phase IV node while running ncl.
I'll boot a phase IV area router this evening. Everything is shutdown right now except the bridge program.

Could that be ncl talking back to your ncp?

Not sure what you mean by that.

But the fact that it's a phase V node might be the reason. Slightly 
incompatible with phase IV sometimes...

Johnny, what is wrong with NIKKEL as seen from your end?

Sorry. I should really have told that one...

.ncp tell nikkel sho exec
NCP -- Show failed, oversized Management command message

Hmmm.. LEGATO can't talk to ROOSTA ("remote node not currently
reachable") even though there's a direct Multinet link to ROOSTA (and
yes, the link is UP and working).

I think the problem is that ROOSTA is in area 6, and the area router for
6 is STAR69. Trouble is, STAR69 doesn't have a path to ROOSTA and
doesn't know how to send it packets.

Unless ROOSTA is an area router, that link makes no sense. You cannot
have (usable) links between different areas unless both ends are area
routers...

It would appear something is more broken currently. I can't talk to SG1
from MIM either, and thus nothing beyond it. And SG1 is currently acting
as the next hop for a whole bunch of areas, as seen from area 1.

Also, while I'm at it: NIKKEL - There is some issue with that machine
too. Can others talk with it?
