Avoiding Address Numbering Problems in LNs and CNs
The default VINES addresses on multi-slot ACE platforms (LNs and CNs) differ
in Bay Networks router software version 8.11 and later from previous versions of
the router software. The difference is in the way that VINES network addresses
are formed on these platforms.
This change in default addresses causes no problems with the routing and
operation of any VINES traffic. However, if you use any third-party network
management/monitoring software, there may be some problems with VINES
address numbering.
To avoid any problems with address numbering, do the following:
1. Before upgrading the router, obtain the current VINES network address.
Use one of the following methods:
• From the Technician Interface, execute the following command:
get wfVinesBase.5.0
• From the Statistics Manager’s Quick Get menu, select wfApplications >
wfVinesGroup > wfVinesBaseRouterNetid
Here is some sample output:
wfVinesBase.wfVinesBaseRouterNetid.0=809501872
2. Subtract the Banyan assigned base address for Bay Networks (that is,
809500672) from the current address. For example:
809501872 - 809500672 = 1200
