- I am in the process of implementing DECNET phase-IV routing. When a node is
- configured as a level 2 router, it is necessary to assign a different node ID
- for each area the router is connected to? Should the router maintain a
- different routing data base for each area? These concepts have not been
- addressed clearly in the routing specification.
-
- The configuration I was referring to, is shown below:
-
-
- --------------------------- (area 1)
- |
- -------------------
- | Router |
- -------------------
- |
- --------------------------- (area 2)
