DECnet-Plus only attempts to locate TCP/IP if the RFC 1006 listener ports attribute set of the OSI Transport entity is not empty. To disable OSI over TCP/IP (RFC 1006) and/or DECnet over TCP/IP (RFC 1859), you can discontinue listening on the appropriate port(s). Port 102 applies to RFC 1006, and Port 399 applies to RFC 1859. For example, this will disable both RFC 1006 and RFC 1859: NCL> disable osi transport NCL> remove osi transport rfc1006 listener ports {102,399} NCL> enable osi transport
