Command
Description
To specify how the Cisco IOS software splits the routable packets between equal-cost paths, use the decnet path-split-mode command with the appropriate keyword in global configuration mode.
decnet path-split-mode {normal | interim}
Syntax Description
normal Normal mode, where equal-cost paths are selected on a round-robin basis. This is the default. interim Traffic for any particular (higher-layer) session is always routed over the same path. This mode supports older implementations of DECnet (VMS Versions 4.5 and earlier) that do not support out-of-order packet caching. Other sessions may take another path, thus using equal-cost paths that a router may have for a particular destination.

Usage Guidelines
By default, Cisco's DECnet routing software implements fast switching of DECnet datagrams. There are times when it makes sense to disable fast switching. This is especially important when using rates slower than T1.
Fast switching uses memory space on interface cards. In situations where a high-bandwidth interface is writing large amounts of information to a low-bandwidth interface, additional memory could help avoid congestion on the slow interface.
Examples
The following example disables fast switching on Ethernet interface 0:
interface ethernet 0 no decnet route-cache
To elect a designated router to which packets are sent when no destination is specified, use the decnet router-priority command in interface configuration mode.
decnet router-priority value

Modification
Usage Guidelines
The designated router is the router to which all end nodes on an Ethernet communicate if they do not know where else to send a packet. The designated router is chosen through an election process in which the router with the highest priority gets the job. When two or more routers on a single Ethernet in a single area share the same highest priority, the unit with the highest node number is elected. You can reset a router's priority to help ensure that it is elected designated router in its area.
On a LAN with both DECnet IV and DECnet IV Prime hosts, make sure that a bilingual router always becomes the designated router.
DECnet end systems use the designated router only when they have no other information about how to reach a particular system. The end systems maintain a cache of how to reach other systems on the network. The cache contains the following information:
<remote system DECnet address> <next hop DECnet address>
When an end system receives a packet, it examines three pieces of information: the intra-LAN bit, the source address, and the previous hop. If the intra-LAN bit is set, indicating that the packet has never left this wire (and, thus, the remote system is reachable without a router), a cache entry is created as follows:
<remote system DECnet address> = <source address> <next hop DECnet address> = <source address>
If the intra-LAN bit is not set, indicating that the packet has come from another network, the cache entry is created as follows:
<remote system DECnet address> = <source address> <next hop DECnet address> = <previous hop>
If there is no cache entry, then the designated router is used. This means that when starting a session, the designated router is used, but the reverse traffic will populate a cache entry so that the router can later communicate directly.
Examples
The following example sets DECnet priority for this router to 110 on Ethernet interface 1:
interface ethernet 1 decnet router-priority 110
To enable DECnet routing, use the decnet routing command in global configuration mode. To disable DECnet routing, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
Enabling DECnet changes the MAC addresses of the router's interfaces. This is not a problem on routers equipped with nonvolatile memory. On systems that attempt to get their IP network addresses from network servers rather than from nonvolatile memory, there may be a problem as with the hardware addresses changing and confusing other IP-speaking hosts. This potential problem can be avoided by configuring and enabling DECnet before enabling other protocols.

Usage Guidelines
Other routers use this information to construct local routing tables. In a network where changes occur infrequently or do not need to be responded to immediately (it is small and uncomplicated, applications are not particularly sensitive to delays or occasional packet loss, slow serial links, and so on), increasing the time between routing updates reduces the amount of unnecessary network traffic. Digital calls this argument the broadcast routing timer because they use a different timer for serial lines; Cisco's DECnet implementation does not make this distinction.
Examples
The following example sets a serial interface to broadcast routing updates every 2 minutes (120 seconds):
interface serial 0 decnet routing-timer 120

Modification
Usage Guidelines
The decnet split-horizon command also affects whether broadcast packets received on an interface are resent on the same interface.
The decnet split-horizon command determines how much information is included in routing updates sent out an interface. It also determines whether received broadcasts are retransmitted on the same interface. When you enable split horizon, routing updates sent out on a given interface will not include any information that was originally learned from that interface, and broadcasts will not be retransmitted on the receiving interface. This is because split horizon is designed for networks that are either broadcast networks, or are fully connected mesh networks. In these types of networks, resending this information is a waste of network bandwidth because all other stations on that network have already heard the information. Disabling split horizon causes the Cisco IOS software to include all information in routing updates, and to resend broadcast packets on the network from which they were received.
You can use this command on any interface, but generally it makes sense to use it only for X.25 and Frame Relay interfaces. You should disable split horizon on X.25 and Frame Relay networks that are not fully connected mesh topologies.
Examples
The following example disables split horizon on an X.25 network:
interface serial 0 no decnet split-horizon

To display the DECnet routing table, use the show decnet route command in EXEC mode.
show decnet route [decnet-address]
Syntax Description
decnet-address (Optional) DECnet address and, when specified, the first hop route to that address is displayed.
Command Modes
EXEC
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.

Examples
The following is sample output from the show decnet route command when a DECnet address name was not specified, so the entire routing table is displayed:
router# show decnet route Area Cost Hops Next Hop to Node Expires Prio 1 4 1 Ethernet1 -> 1.300 26 64 A *1 4 1 Ethernet1 -> 1.400 37 64 A *2 8 2 Ethernet1 -> 1.400 *5 0 0 (Local) -> 5.5 *10 4 1 Ethernet2 -> 10.1 36 64 A *13 11 3 Ethernet1 -> 1.400 *44 22 6 Ethernet1 -> 1.400 *51 18 4 Ethernet1 -> 1.400 *61 1 1 (OSI) -> 5.5 *62 1 1 (OSI) -> 5.5 *3 0 0 (STATIC) Ethernet0, snpa aa00.0400.0404 *4 0 0 (STATIC) Serial0 *6 5 4 (STATIC) forwarding to 2.3 Node Cost Hops Next Hop to Node Expires Prio *(Area) 0 0 (Local) -> 5.5 *5.5 0 0 (Local) -> 5.5 32 64 A+ *DEFAULT*: 0 0 using next hop address of 2.100
As the display shows, the show decnet route command can display more than one route for a destination when equal-cost paths have been set with the decnet max-paths global configuration command, and when there is more than one equal-cost path to a destination. The display also shows that this node is an area router.
Table 28 describes significant fields shown in the display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
* | Currently selected route for a particular destination. In interim mode, the selected route will never appear to change. |
Node | DECnet address of this (reachable) destination. |
(Area) | All Level 1 routes are displayed in this section except for this the first entry, which points to the nearest Level 2 router. |
Cost | Assigned cost for the interface, based on a recommended value for the underlying media. Range: 1 to 63. No default. |
Hops | Number of hops to this node from the router being monitored. |
Next Hop to Node | DECnet address of the next hop a packet will take to get to the final destination as well as the interface. |
(Local) | The address that the router is configured with. |
(OSI) | Indicates that this route is an OSI injected route - that is it comes from CLNS due to DECnet phase IV/DECnet phase V conversion. |
(STATIC) | Indicates that this entry was created by the decnet route command. |
Expires | Displays how many seconds from now this entry expires. |
Prio | Router priority of this node. |
V | Adjacent Level 1 router. |
A+ | Adjacent Level 2 (area) router; A indicates that this is an adjacency created from a Phase IV hello, A+ indicates that this is an adjacency created from a Phase IV+ hello. |
To display all statically configured DECnet routes, use the show decnet static command in privileged EXEC mode.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
All static routes are stored in a static route queue, which allows static routes to be reinstated when DECnet routing is turned off then on again.
Not all routes in the static route queue will show up in the routing table. This happens under the following conditions:
decnet route 2.0 1.2
decnet route 3.10 1.200
decnet route 1.1 1.200
decnet route 4.1 10.200
decnet route 4.0 10.200
decnet route 2.0 10.200
decnet route 2.1 5.4
Examples
The following is sample output from the show decnet static command:
router# show decnet static Address Cost Hops Next hop SNPA 3 0 0 Ethernet0 aa00.0400.0404 5 0 0 Serial0 5.100 0 0 Serial2 DEFAULT 0 0 2.100 6 5 4 2.3
Note that this router is a Level 2 router with DECnet address of 1.2, so a static route configured for 5.100 is not relevant here. This route appears in the show decnet static command display, but not in the routing table.
To show the DECnet traffic statistics (including datagrams sent, received, and forwarded), use the show decnet traffic command in EXEC mode.

The following is sample output from the show decnet traffic command:
router# show decnet traffic Total: 42 received, 0 format errors, 0 unimplemented 0 not a gateway, 0 no memory, 0 no routing vector 0 congestion encountered Hellos: 21 received, 0 bad, 0 other area, 16 sent Level 1 routing: 14 received, 0 bad, 0 other area, 16 sent Level 2 routing: 7 received, 0 not primary router, 8 sent Data: 0 received, 0 not long format, 0 too many visits 0 forwarded, 0 returned, 0 converted, 0 local destination 0 access control failed, 0 no route, 0 encapsulation failed 0 inactive network, 0 incomplete map
Table 29 describes the fields shown in the display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Total: | Displays the totals of packet types received. |
received | Total of all types of DECnet packets received. |
format errors | Lists the number of packets that appeared to be DECnet, but were formatted incorrectly. The number in the received field includes these packets. |
0 unimplemented | Reports the number of incoming packets that are DECnet control packets, and how many specify a service that the router does not implement. This includes services implemented to forward Level 1 and Level 2 routing information, and router and end-system hello packets. |
0 not a gateway | Reports the total number of packets received while not routing DECnet. |
0 no memory | Records transaction attempts when the system has run out of memory. |
0 no routing vector | Indicates that either a routing update came in from another router when the router did not have an adjacency for it, or it had no routing vector for the type of routing update. Use the debug decnet-routing EXEC command for more information. |
0 congestion encountered | Number of times the DECnet output process encounters a non-empty interface output queue. |
HELLOs: | Displays the number of hello messages received and sent. |
received | Displays the total number of hello messages received. All protocol types are included. |
bad | Displays the total number of "bad" hello messages received. Invoke the EXEC command debug decnet to display more information about why the hello message was judged as bad. |
other area | Displays the total number of hello messages received from nodes on other areas when the router is a Level 1 router only. |
sent | Displays the total number of hello messages sent. |
Level 1 routing: | Displays the Level 1 routing updates received and sent. |
received | Displays the total number of Level 1 routing updates received. |
bad | Displays the total number of Level 1 updates received that were judged to be bad. |
other area | Displays the total number of Level 1 updates from nodes in other areas. |
sent | Displays the total number of Level 1 updates sent. |
Level 2 routing: | Displays the Level 2 routing updates received and sent. |
received | Displays the total number of Level 2 updates received. |
not primary router | Should always be zero. |
sent | Displays the total number of Level 2 updates sent. |
Data: | Displays the number of data packets received and sent. |
received | Displays the total number of noncontrol (data) packets received. |
not long format | Displays the number of packets received which are not in the long DECnet format. This number should always be zero. If it is not, investigate the source of the improperly formatted packets. |
too many visits | Lists the number of packets received which have visited too many routers and have been flushed. |
forwarded | Lists the total number of packets forwarded. |
returned | Lists the total number of packets returned to the sender at the senders' request. |
converted | Displays the number of Phase IV packets converted to Phase V packets. |
local destination | Packets received that are destined for this router. |
access control failed | Lists the packets dropped because access control required it. |
no route | Lists the total packets dropped because the router did not know where to forward them. |
encapsulation failed | Lists the number of packets that could not be encapsulated. This usually happens where there are entries missing in a map for a public data network, such as X.25 or Frame Relay. This can also occur if an interface is set for an encapsulation for which there is no defined DECnet encapsulation, such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) on serial interfaces. |
inactive network | Displays the number of packets that appear to come from a known interface, or that ATG returned because they did not make sense. |
incomplete map | Counts the number of packets that failed address translation. This usually means a node that is not in the ATG map is trying to access a node in another network advertised by the ATG. |
