This creates a DCL command file that may be used to aid setting up networks that use both DECnet-Plus and DECnet Phase IV level 2 routing protocols (link state and routing vector protocols). The command file is used to create or delete interphase link entries in a DECnet-Plus level 2 router's reachable address table. This is used on a DECnet-Plus level 2 router that must route messages between a DECnet-Plus level 2 network and a DECnet Phase IV level 2 network. CREATE IPL_INITIALIZATION_FILE command-file-name - FOR router-node-name
1 – IPL_INITIALIZATION_FILE
This parameter specifies the name of the DCL command file to create. This command file makes use of secondary NCL command files to create or delete the interphase link entries in the DECnet-Plus Level 2 Router's reachable address table. If no extension is supplied, a default extension of ".COM" will be used. The names of the secondary NCL command files are the same as the DCL command file name, with "_CRE" or "_DEL" appended to the extension. The DCL command file should be executed on either the DECnet-Plus level 2 Router, or on a node that can access the DECnet-Plus level 2 Router for network management. If the DECnet-Plus Level 2 Router is a dedicated server, the secondary NCL command files can be applied to the server's load image, using the appropriate configuration utility. Example: CREATE IPL_INIT BOSTON_INIT.COM FOR BOSTON
2 – FOR
This parameter specifies the full name or Phase IV synonym of the target DECnet-Plus level 2 router. When you issue the CREATE IPL_INITIALIZATION_FILE command, the target router must be accessible, and must have a communication path to all areas in the level 2 link state network. Additionally, the adjacent level 2 routers running the DECnet Phase IV routing vector protocol must have communication paths to all areas in their respective level 2 routing vector networks. Example: CREATE IPL_INIT BOSTON_INIT FOR .NODES.ROUTERS.BOSTON
