11.4.3 DECnet Phase IV Routing Support
The Multiprotocol Interconnect module in a DECnet environment is always a
level 2 router. It implements the DECnet routing layer and provides network
management and security, including the following:
•
Supports configurable circuit cost.
•
Supports designated router priority.
•
Supports designated router priority.
•
Can pass or block datagrams according to user defined security access list.
DECnet routing is not addressed any further in this book.
11.5 Configuring Multiprotocol Interconnect Module
Both one-slot and two-slot Multiprotocol Interconnect modules provide six ports
that can be attached to any of the Ethernet segments on the ShuntBus or
Enhanced TriChannel. These ports are referred to as ports 1 thru 6.
Additionally, the 2-slot module provides the housing for two I/O cards that can be
used to provide connections to external token-ring and/or Ethernet segments.
These ports are referred to as ports 7 and 8.
To configure the 8260 Multiprotocol Interconnect module, you must use the Local
Management Systems (LMS) accessed via the local (or remote) console.
Once you have completed the configuration of a Multiprotocol Interconnect
module using the facilities offered by LMS, you must use the following MM
