CPU Architecture: VAX and Alpha
Version: v 6.2
Questions: 

Is there any possibility to set any preferred path for all
used network protocolls. Background: we have a few Alphas
with an integrated 10Base network controller and an ad-
ditional FDDI adapter. For LAT there is a logical to
define the preferred controller. What can i do for DECnet,
TCPIP and SCS. Is there any easy way like LAT (any logical
or so)?

TIA and regards R. Wingert

   Please check the documentation associated with the particular package.

   Under DECnet, one can use circuit "cost".

   Under SCS, see the "bus" and "prefer" tools in SYS$EXAMPLES:.

   For IP, see the local routing control.

   Other methods are available on a protocol- and package-specific basis.
   In most cases, one usually wants all paths enabled and operating.
