VINES Implementation Notes
2-9
For example, if you configure a router in group mode for Frame Relay, Frame
Relay treats a group mode circuit like one circuit, even though there are physically
two links. If you leave the Split Horizon for STALK Enable parameter set to its
default, Enable, the router does not send the VINES packets out through their
original interfaces. For VINES to operate successfully, you must disable the Split
Horizon for STALK Enable parameter.
Avoiding Address Numbering Problems in LNs and CNs
The default VINES addresses on multi-slot ACE platforms (LNs and CNs) differ
in Version 8.11 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
