We have an AGS+ at each of three of our facilities.  Each AGS+ has about
eight to ten Ethernet interfaces.  Each facility is a different DECnet area,
and the AGS+ at the facility is the DECnet area router.

At one of our facilities, we are running out of DECnet addresses.  We have
already allocated 750 of 1000 addresses, and at the rate we're using them
we'll have used them all by this June.  We will be forced to move to a
second DECnet area before the 1993 is out.

The only way I know to implement this second DECnet area is by using a
separate piece of equipment -- basically, a second AGS+.  We'd really rather
not do this.

Can the existing AGS+ do anything regarding this second area?  Can it act as
area router for two different areas?  Are these in the plans for future
Cisco releases?
