[HECnet] Config Details Required

Hello!
To quote a phrase from an old friend, "Never assume.". But yes.

Worse then that. They were at your linuxfest, the penguins paid them

Hello!
What is the difference between the 1811w and 1841 and the DEC whosis
that Tim described? My trick knee (and everything else associated with
Doctor Who, (Dave, Corey)) tells me that probably not much.

I   d assume branding and expansion modules supported.

At least it   s not the flies from linuxfest.

My 1811w and 1841 can both do DECnet. Let me look real quick, I've got
images here I'm sure.

Hi Mark,

I did.   Well, I found an 1800 with an appropriate image on it.   I'll dump
it sometime next week and get it to you.

Regards, Tim.

HI,

I will be bringing up a new decnet area on hecnet (Area 22) in the
near future.

Can I please have info on the peering for IP and any other config
details that may help. I will be using a DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) V11.1.

So, anyone know if the DECrouter will do, and who would be willing to
act

as

a peer?

Hmmm... Didn't know much about DECbrouter until I looked it up following
these emails. If I have it right
(http://manx.classiccmp.org/**collections/mds-199909/cd2/**
network/decbroma.pdf<http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/mds-199909/cd2/network/decbroma.pdf>)

all DECbrouters have only one Ethernet interface and a one or more
(depending on model) WAN connections using synchronous serial lines. I
am
wondering how this could be used on HECnet. I don't think anyone offers
any
synchronous serial way into HECnet, or am I wrong?

That leaves the one Ethernet interface. To be able to use that would
need
the bridge (or my user mode router, or some other hardware router) to
be on
the same LAN. But at that point there wouldn't be a lot of point having
the
DECbrouter as it would not have anything to route.

Have I missed something? Is the DECbrouter 90 (Cisco) a different beast?

Regards

Rob

I should be able to set up the DECbrouter 90 as a one armed router
behind my main internet Router which is a Cisco 1800. All I need it for is
to encapsulate DECnet and then forward it to a peer via my internet
connected router. It won't be the highest performance but it will get the
Area up, I can then change it at a later date if required.

BTW, my Cisco 1800 does not support DECnet or GRE so this is not an
option.

Does anyone have any peering info or the config used either on a Cisco
or DECbrouter.

Hi Mark,

I have a Cisco 857 which provides my connection to the 'net.   I have the
following NAT rules on my Cisco 867 (gatekeeper) to pass GRE/IP packets
through to my DECbrouter 90T2:

    interface Vlan1
            ip address 172.17.111.254 255.255.255.0
            ip nat inside

    interface Dialer0
            ip nat outside

    ip nat inside source static tcp 172.17.111.251 1723 interface Dialer0
1723

Then on my DECbrouter 90T2 (a12rtr) I just set up the tunnels, like so:

    interface Tunnel52
            description HECnet tunnel for ...
            no ip address
            decnet cost 20
            tunnel source Ethernet0
            tunnel destination ....

However, as Dave pointed out (and I said earlier) when Brian catches up
with the list he can add you to the mesh and you will receive all the
configuration details from him.

I am also likely able to track down a version of the Cisco 1800 IOS that
can do DECnet and GRE/IP (if you're interested).

Regards, Tim.

Hi Tim,

Did you manage to find a version of IOS for the 1800 that could support
DECnet?

Thanks, Mark
