[HECnet] DECnet map, was Re: DECnet/Python

[Paul Koning]

Yes, that's a typical issue.  Or DNA-compliant equipment that has NICE turned off or restricted.  I looked into using the DECnet MIB to get information out of Cisco routers but that didn't seem to be practical.

If a Cisco router is visible from a compliant router, it should appear.  But if you have a Cisco router behind another one, the behind one won't be mapped unless there is another router in the same area, one that does speak NICE, so it's seen as reachable.

Physicallly closest may not be the best answer -- closest to the rest of the net is also interesting -- but both of those should be visible on the map.  You can turn off Level 1 nodes and links to see the area routing backbone only, that's probably the best resource to answer your question.
