This procedure is used to configure your DECnet-Plus system.  The
    net$configure options are: FAST, BASIC, or ADVANCED.  For help in
    determining which option to use and how to invoke that option,
    refer to the option descriptions below.

1  –  FAST

    This option will be invoked the first time you configure a
    Phase V node by:

    $ @sys$manager:net$configure

    Choose to continue with this FAST default configuration if:

    -  You are upgrading from a DECnet Phase IV node and you
       plan to use the existing Phase IV configuration.

    -  The node is not in a cluster.

    -  You are not running and do not plan to run this as a DNS
       Server.

    After the FAST configuration has been run once on your system,
    the configuration option defaults to BASIC.  For more
    information about the FAST configuration option, refer to the
    Installation and Basic Configuration manual.

2  –  BASIC

    Choose this option if...

    -  The node is in a cluster.

    -  You are upgrading or reconfiguring DECnet-Plus.

    -  You need to access a DECdns server for network addresses.

    -  You want to run DECnet over TCP/IP (RFC 1859) and/or
       OSI applications over TCP/IP (RFC 1006).

    -  You only have one communications device, or you have
       multiple devices, all of which will be used for
       DECnet-Plus communications.

    -  You want to use the default names for all devices and
       routing circuits (for example, default csmacd-0, rather
       than sva-0).

    -  You want to autoconfigure your network addresses only.

    -  You want to configure both the NSP and OSI transports
       and only want to create default OSI templates.  You want
       to enable both DECnet over TCP/IP or OSI applications
       over TCP/IP.

    -  You do not want to enable FDDI large packet support
       (if you have an FDDI-type circuit).

    -  You want to set the routing characteristic DNS Address
       Format to TRUE (this attribute controls the
       interpretation of address structuring).

    -  You want to use integrated mode routing.

    To invoke net$configure using the BASIC option, enter:

    $ @sys$manager:net$configure

    For more information about the BASIC configuration, refer
    to the Installation and Basic Configuration manual.

3  –  ADVANCED

    Choose the ADVANCED option if...

    -  Your configuration is complex.

    -  You need to customize your network's configuration.

    -  Your system has multiple communication devices, and you
       want them to run a mix of protocols.

    -  You want to configure a cluster with both DECnet Phase IV
       and DECnet Phase V nodes.

    -  You want the option to give specific names to all devices
       and routing circuits.  You also want the option of not
       configuring all your devices for DECnet-Plus.

    -  You want the option of manually entering your network
       addresses.

    -  You want to configure either the NSP transport or the OSI
       transport (or both).  You want the option to create
       additional OSI templates.  You want the option of
       enabling/disabling DECnet over TCP/IP or OSI applications
       over TCP/IP.

    -  You want the option of enabling FDDI large packet support
       (if you have an FDDI-type circuit).

    -  You want the option of setting the routing characteristic
       DNA Address Format to TRUE or FALSE (to control the
       interpretation of address structuring).

    -  You want the option of using either intregated mode
       routing or segregated mode routing.

    -  You want the option to provide default accounts for FAL.

    To invoke net$configure using the ADVANCED option, enter:

    $ @sys$manager:net$configure advanced

    For more information about the ADVANCED configuration,
    refer to the Applications Installation and Advanced
    Configuration manual.
