Unless I'm confused about what is said here I don't believe the above
statement holds true in DECnet. L2 routers should know the routing table
for their specific area for all 1024 nodes. That is, an L2 router routes
out-of-area packets but also has a built in L1 router for taking care of
all in-area packets as well. The following command shows the route table
of an L2 router and it shows a route for every reachable address in area 55
plus its adj areas.
MCC> show node4 bblk01 remote node * all status

2477.5 | L2 is only L1 in area | DPDMAI::JONESDS | | Thu Mar 12 1992 16:57 | 8 |
| I would like to reiterate the sentiments of .4...
In the area that we are looking to manage, there is only one router,
a L2 router. This router is by default the designated L1 router for
the area and has adjacency information for all nodes in the area.
I don't see why I shouldn't be able to autoconfigure this area!

2477.6 | Ditto | ANDRIS::putnins | Hands across the Baltics | Thu Mar 12 1992 20:13 | 7 |
| I've seen the same behavior. If, in autotopology, I choose "all nodes
in a LAN" with a Level 2 router as the seed, I get only routers - no
end nodes. Now, the LAN happens to be just a single area, so when I
choose "all nodes in an area", (with the same seed router), I get ALL
of the nodes, including the end-nodes.

2477.7 | It's a Level 1 router | OSLACT::BJORN | Soon to be changing dipers | Fri Mar 13 1992 07:42 | 13 |
2477.8 | Any more ideas on this? | OSLACT::BJORN | Soon to be changing dipers | Fri Mar 20 1992 09:44 | 10 |
2477.9 | Haven't had time to isolate | TOOK::MINTZ | Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033 | Fri Mar 20 1992 09:52 | 8 |
| The autoconfig team is aware of your question.
However, they are working full time to meet a coding deadline,
and have not have time to investigate this problem.
Please be patient with us during this period of intense effort.

2477.11 | What is a seed node? | OSLACT::BJORN | Woops, now I have to learn changing diper's | Tue Mar 24 1992 08:18 | 37 |
2477.12 | I experience the same problem. | KETJE::PACCO | | Tue Mar 24 1992 15:41 | 13 |
| Olav,
I encounter exact the same situation, or at least a very similar
one. I tried to Autotopology ALL DECnet nodes, I only found the
routing nodes of my configuration. I tried to use my DECmcc station as
a seed node as wel as a L1 router (There are no level 2 routers, and I
am running only 1 area. I cannot find any Ethernet end node !
The selection "ALL DECnet nodes" or "DECnet nodes on the LAN" gives
exact the same results: only the routing nodes appear.
Regards,
Dominique.

2477.13 | SUMMARY vs. STATUS | TOOK::LEVINE | | Tue Mar 24 1992 19:14 | 10 |
| You folks may be aware of this already, but just in case...
SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS SUMMARY will show only adjacent routers on broadcast
circuits. SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS STATUS, however, will show all adjacent
nodes. (See Phase IV Network Management spec T4.3.0, table 7.2.) Maybe
Autotopology is asking for the wrong one?
SUMMARY is the default you get with NCP.
