Ethernet *terminators*. As far as I can remember any VAXen I've played
with that have built in ethernet want to either be plugged into a ethernet
network or have one of these attached, otherwise they complain (I want to
say they won't even boot, but it's been awhile, all my stuff is always
plugged into the network).
At least our NetBSD MicroVAX IIGP does boot without being plugged into the
network. Could be a VMS thing, though.
