Hi, I have to give a presentation about the new DECnet-Plus features and I am a little bit confused about what kind of X.25 routing circuits are supported under DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha and VAX (DA and/or Static) if host based routing is enabled Both SPDs mentioned that 'Dynamic connections over X.25 networks' are supported and the VAX SPD says the following in the X.25 part: 'X.25 allows the use of DECnet-Plus facilities over static X.25 dircuits. These circuits are called statically assigned circuits.' But I couldn't find anything about X.25 DA circuits. Before I tell something wrong to our customer it would be very nice, if someone can tell me, what exactly is supported under DECnet-Plus Many thanks in advance Andreas

Static circuits are supported. DA circuits are not supported (but work[ed]). Antonio | |||||

Hi Antonio,
are there any plans to support X.25 DA circuits for HBR in a future
release ?
Just to be sure: X.25 DA Circuits are still supported for Endsystems ?
Many thanks for your help
Andreas

I think the decision to support only X.25 static circuits was because HBR is supposed to appease those customers that want to have the same functionality as they had with Phase IV, so that is what has been done. The code that I tested worked fine doing both Link State and Routing Vector over both X.25 static and DA circuits. Link State was disabled because of a system crasher found late in EFT. There is nothing I know of to stop you using X.25 DA circuits. > Just to be sure: X.25 DA Circuits are still supported for Endsystems ? Definitely. Antonio | |||||
