DECnet: Routers Not Establishing Adjacencies (continued)
Possible Problem
Solution
Router area
number is higher
than configured
decnet max-area
If the area number of a DECnet node (such as a router) is higher
than the configured
decnet max-area
value, the adjacency will
be reset.
1.
Use the
show running-config privileged exec
command to
view the router configuration. Look for
decnet max-area
global configuration command entries. This command sets
the DECnet maximum area number for the router.
Note:
The
decnet max-area
command specifies the highest area
value allowed in the network,
not
the maximum number of areas
configurable. For example, if you configure the command
decnet
max-area 60
and you configure a node with area number 61, the
node's area address is out of range.
Use the
show running-config privileged exec
command to
find the area number configured on other DECnet routers.
Compare the value configured by the
decnet max-area
command to the area numbers of other routers.
2.
If a router's area number is higher than the value configured
by the
decnet max-area
global configuration command,
reconfigure the
decnet max-area
command so that the
DECnet maximum area is higher than the area number of all
routers.
