3850.0. "QUESTIONS ABOUT AUTOCONFIGURE PRINCIPLE" by SOS6::MONZON () Wed Jan 29 1997 08:54

                Hello,

        Some questions about autoconfigure principle.So, a VAX Decnet/Osi
   configured with address 0.0, will normaly replace, its area default value
   49:00-40 by the area value of an adjacent router.
        If the local area is greater than 63.

        But, in case of troubles on the adjacent router, follow by a BOOT
   on the system.The area of the VAX Decnet/Osi come back with the previous
   value ( adjacent router ).

        And, exactly ten minutes after, this area value is replaced by the
   default value 49:00-40 ( If router doesn't come back ).

        Why this change of area address and why after ten minutes ?

        Routing Characteristics parameters modifications has no effect on this
   scenario.


	VAX/VMS 7.0 and DECnet plus 7.0
	
        Any explanations will be hightly appreciated.
        Thanks in advance.

                                JEAN-LOUIS.
