[DECnet-Plus] How to configure DECnet-over-IP only?

DECnet-Plus offers the DECnet-over-IP feature (RFC1006+, via TCP Port 102
and TCP Port 399) which allows to remove the DECnet protocol from your net.

But how to configure DN5 to run *ONLY* DECnet-over-IP?
If you answer "NONE" for every interface in NET$CONFIGURE, you end with

%NET$CONFIGURE-F-NODEVICECONF, no devices configured
No Changes Made

Currently it seems, that I need to configure at least one interface
(though not using it then) to get DECnet-Plus configured/running.

But if I need to keep DECnet totally out of the LAN (and I only have
one interface in the machine), what to do then?

Just curious
