3878.0. "Multi-circuit network query" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC) Wed Feb 19 1997 23:39

	Multi-circuit configuration rule number 3 :

	-All the links must provide similar paths to the other nodes. The 	
	circuits must not lead to disjointed networks. no matter which circuit 	
	is taken, there must be a path to the remote system. Asymmetrical 	
	topologies are not supported.

	
	Is the following topology not supported then ? Everything is in area 1.

    It is not supported in DECnet-Plus multi-circuit end systems.
    
    If these DECnis are running Routing Vector at level 1,
    in DECnet-Plus V7.1, you can bring up the node as a
    level 1 (host based) router.  That should work.
