[c-nsp] Splitting an existing DECNET area using an IP backbone

[Gustavo Novais]

Hi, 
have you tried fallback bridging on the 3550, and putting your vlan
interface facing the decnet area  AND the tunnel interface on the same
bridge group?

I haven't tried it on lab, but theoretically I'd think it would work.

Hope this helps (let me know if you found out a way to do that)

Subject: [c-nsp] Splitting an existing DECNET area using an IP backbone

We have an IP only backbone between sites and also a legacy flat single
subnet between the same sites wich aslo has DECNET across it.
We would like to decommission the old network and tunnel the DECNET over
IP.
We have 3550s at each edge (EMI) and have set up a GRE tunnel between
the
remote DECNET subnets.

Although the tunnel interfaces are up both ends,  so far we have not
been
able to get any traffic to pass.

At present it is one DECNET area although we could split the area and
readress if necessary, however the 3550 does not support decnet routing
so
we cannot point a route at the tunnel interface anyway!
Am I missing the point? does the switch not build a MAC address list for
the tunnel interface for the other end of the tunnel as it would for
another real interface on the switch allowing non routable protocols to
believe that the whole tunnel in effect is a single switch with 2 ports
?
