I'm trying to use NCL (DEC CMIP) over TCP/IP from a Digital UNIX system. Access using the host name of the DECNIS works. Access using the address leads to the message ncl>sho node 16.185.8.9 name 'CONNECT ERROR: Unrecognized node name'. Section 1.9.3.1 of the DECNIS management guide says: "If an IP address or DECnet PhaseIV address is used to specify the the node being managed, it is interpreted either as an IP address or as a DECnet address on the basis of its syntax." Unfortunately there is no example in the documentation. Can someone remind me of the address syntax I can use on Digital UNIX. If someone is going to update the documentation with an example could the dnacml port (436/tcp) be included in table 7-2 (Chapter Packet Priotization on the DECNIS). It would also be helpful to include this table in Chapter 13 IP Packet Filtering. Does anyone know whether DECnetPlus for OpenVMS will include this functionality in the future (ie. in combination with UCX) ?

| 3620.1 | The syntax looks OK | MARVIN::GLANVILLE | Wed Apr 30 1997 06:47 | 7 | |
The command that you are using looks OK to me.
It looks like the version of NCL that you are
using does not support CMIP over TCP.

Richard, it does if I use the host name, but not with the address syntax. I checked this with tcpdump. In addition if you can set the ncl attribute Transport=TCP (on the UNIX system) then one would expect it to work ;-). I know I should really be asking this in the DECnet for Digital UNIX conference, but as someone wrote that particular passage in the DECNIS management manual I thought someone here would know.

According to DECnet/OSI for Digital UNIX engineering IP address syntax cannot be used (yet). Extract out of the DECnet/OSI for Digital UNIX notes conference: >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Note 2171.1 NCL and IP address syntax 1 of 1 >DRAGNS::WALLACE 5 lines 30-APR-1997 12:5 >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > I think you're out of luck with the current executable. It > looks like tere's no provision for handling internet addresses. > > Vince > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe the management manual could be changed to reflect that this IP address feature is only available in some later(?) version of DECnet/OSI for Digital UNIX.
