3924.0. "HBR used to support the DECnet-Plus cluster alias ?" by MANEGE::AURAND () Tue Apr 08 1997 10:14

    Hi,
    
    I'm still writing my presentation about the DECnet-Plus features and it
    would be very nice, if someone can tell me, if an DECnet-Plus system
    with HBR enabled can act as a cluster alias router or if a separat 
    DECnet/OSI Router (DECnis ...) is needed.
    
    The SPD says, that 'Clusters in a DECnet-Plus environment require a
    reachable IS-IS compliant router on the LAN.' If I understand this correct,
    therefore HBR cannot be used.
    
    	Many thanks in advance

    Yes, a DECnet-Plus HBR node can act as a cluster alias router.

    Does this mean, that a DECnet-Plus HBR node can act as a cluster alias
    router for different clusters on the LAN or just for his 'own' cluster
    (like in Phase IV).
    	
    	Many thanks for your help

    DECnet-Plus HBR node can act as a Phase V router that is required on the 
    LAN to support DECnet-Plus cluster aliases just like other Phase V routers.
    It can also be a member of a cluster alias like in Phase IV.
