DECnet On/Bridging/Off

This set of radio buttons controls how DECnet packets are handled for this
interface.

If set to DECnet On, then DECnet packets received on this interface are
routed to the correct interface on the router.

If set to DECnet Bridging, then any DECnet packets received on this
interface are forwarded to the router’s internal bridge. This setting makes
this WAN interface a member of the “DECnet Bridge Group” for this
router.

v Note: The DECnet Bridging radio button will be grayed out unless
bridging has been turned on globally for the device using the Main Bridging
Configuration Dialog Box (under Global/Bridging) and locally on this inter-
face using the Bridging: WAN Dialog Box (under WAN/Bridging).

If it is set to DECnet Off, then any DECnet packets received on this
interface are discarded.
