- We have an AGS+ at each of three of our facilities. Each AGS+ has about
- eight to ten Ethernet interfaces. Each facility is a different DECnet area,
- and the AGS+ at the facility is the DECnet area router.
-
- At one of our facilities, we are running out of DECnet addresses. We have
- already allocated 750 of 1000 addresses, and at the rate we're using them
- we'll have used them all by this June. We will be forced to move to a
- second DECnet area before the 1993 is out.
-
- The only way I know to implement this second DECnet area is by using a
- separate piece of equipment -- basically, a second AGS+. We'd really rather
- not do this.
-
- Can the existing AGS+ do anything regarding this second area? Can it act as
- area router for two different areas? Are these in the plans for future
- Cisco releases?
