889.0. "Probs Using an Agent90 to manage a Bridge90" by GMTNET::SYSTEM (SYSINIT-F-NOPAYRISE) Thu Apr 07 1994 09:31

    
    Hi,
    	I am trying to manage a DB90 in a HUB900,using a DECagent90
    in a DH90.
    
    I can manage the DECagent90 just fine,using HUBwatch/VMS 2.0.1
    
    I can manage the HUB900,and some of its modules just fine,via OBM
    and Hubwatch/VMS 2.0.1
    
    I click on the DB90,manage table,and add an Agent,quoting the IP
    address of the Agent90,and the MAC address of the DB90. It takes
    the registration,but if I double-click on the DB90,it returns
    
    'Failed to get bridge management information'
    
    Agent is running T2.0.10
    Bridge is running 3.1 (I think) 
                     
    Any ideas please ?			
    				Cheers Mick
    

    You have missed a step. Check the HUBwatch instal and config
    manual. You need an entry on the agents table for DECagent with
    its ip address and mac address of the bridge and an entry for the
    bridge with the decagents ip address and max address of the
    bridge. HUBwatch needs to associate the mac address of the bridge
    with the IP address of the DECagent - check the manual for
    the details.
