Issue
Site 0 on DLA Applications
Environment
I/NET site
Cause
For future expansion of the system, address 0 has been reserved when implementing DLA (Distributed Link Architecture). This causes the Host to distinguish when making contact with an NPR, whether it is set up for DLA or not. There are certain flags that are set in this configuration internally by each device on the way it will communicate with other Hosts and NPRs
Resolution
It is recommended that address zero("0") be used for Non DLA applications and 1 to 63 for DLA. This should be implemented just to avoid conflicts with existing sites. Furthermore, it is also necessary to clear out the Routing tables for each device that this is being incorporated on.
