2342.0. ""links exceeded"" by NETRIX::"jayaram@qcav01.enet.dec.com" (jayaram) Thu Feb 13 1997 08:05

hello all,

       I have gone through quite a few answers regarding this question.
       but somehow i am not able to find a solution.

       we are having a cluster of vax 4300's running vms 5.5-2
       many a time (almost once a day ) the maxcimum number
       of links (decnet links) in the routing node of the cluster
       gets excceeded .I increased the max links to 50.
       but it still exceeds.when it exceeds most of the links
       are from US5RMC root,i guess the incoming mails from internet
       the links seem to be stale and dont get cleared. we clean it by
       mc ncp disconnect kn links with node us5rmc sometimes
       It would be great if any permenent solution is there for this 
       problem.all help on this is welcome
       some body please look into this


thanks in advance
jayaram

    Tell your users to stop forwarding their VAX mail to exchange. It's
    innefficient and does not reduce the native VAX mail traffic.
    Tell them to make more use of exchange and learn to address their mail
    properly. Over the course of a few weeks, their mail usage on VAX mail
    will decrease and their exchange mail usage will increase and you'll
    have fewer problems.

hi tom,

    Thanks ,but we have not rolled out exchange in our site .
     we also have SMTP installed on our vax machines
     but it crashes some times .so we have to use us3rmc
     for internet mails to be on the safer side

    Can you get yourselves up to the latest versions of OpenVMS and DEC
    TCP/IP Services?
    
    I'm at OpenVMS V6.2 and DEC TCP/IP Services V4.1 ECO 3 - things work
    fine.

    They also work fine on VAX/VMS 5.5-2 with UCX V3.3 ECO Level 9 .
