3710.0. "NDU on VMS /UCX with two IP Interfaces" by PRIVAT::OTTO (getting better all the time) Mon Jul 15 1996 11:37

Hello 

a customer has a VMS System equipped with two Interfaces and also two IP 
addresses.
He is using NDU to upgrade Repeaters.
His Problem starts when he tries to upgrade repeaters that are not in the 
same SUBnet of his "first" InterFace.


UCX> sho inter

UCX>


$ sho log ucx$inet*
  "UCX$INET_HOSTADDR" = "16.185.128.81"


Only Repeaters in the network of 16.185.128 are possible to upgrade.

Are there any other posibilities ??



Thanks

Is your system running "routed", if not, you probably need to set default route
to the subnet of the other repeater.

Instead of deciding which rail to go using the target address 
NDU always uses the Address of the Host that is in UCX$INET_HOST.

redefining this Logical is the only way to tell NDU
 that it should use the second address.

Hopefully the customer accepts this as a workaround..
