Editing DECnet Parameters
308619-14.00 Rev 00
3-13
Parameter: Cost
Default: 10
Options: 1 to 63
Function: Specifies the relative cost of routing over this circuit.
The sum of the individual outbound circuit costs from a source node to a
destination node is the total path cost. When the router receives a data
packet, it decides which circuit to forward the packet over based on the
least-cost path toward the destination.
Instructions: If you want the circuit to be used on a regular basis, assign it a low cost;
similarly, assign the circuit a high cost if you do not want it used on a
regular basis.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.2.2.1.9
Parameter: Hello Timer
Default: 15
Options: 1 to 8191
Function: Specifies in seconds how often the router broadcasts DECnet Hello
messages to all nodes on this circuit.
Instructions: Increase the Hello Timer if you want to reduce the amount of traffic
traversing a slow line.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.2.2.1.10
Note: Inconsistent Hello Timer settings can cause confusion between DECnet
routers and end nodes when rerouting occurs. We recommend that you set the
Hello Timer parameter to the same value throughout your DECnet network.
