474.0. "(Routing/Area Dynamic)" by CUJO::MEIER (Systems Engineering Resident...) Sat May 16 1987 18:49

    	First, this requested is posted here since I feel most
    	people (DECnet or VMS Development) really don't think
    	this would be helpful to most customers.
    
    
    	Request:
    		Anybody know NETACP well enough to determine if
    		there's any possble way to switch (dynamically)
    		from Routing IV, and Area.
    
    	Reason:
    		The ability to segment a given area from other
    		areas on a single LAN segment.  Mostly for the
    		reason of security, probing.
    
    	Why software / Why not a LAN Brigde-100 ?
    
    		Mostly money, and LAN Bridge will be brought,
    		at the end of the year, either way.
    
    	What's wrong with shutting down DECnet and bringing it
    	backup?
    
    		I don't what to abort DECnet links on that node,
    		from other CPU's in the same area.
    
	It's not that long to cycle DECnet !
    
    		True, but if you abort a link, you lose data.
		The intent is to make the switch transparent to
    		user applications.
    
    	
    
    	Thanks for your time...  Let me know if you have an idea!
