When you register an entity, does the entity have to be up and
running? I remember reading something about this but I can't find
it now.
I checked both the user documentation and the online help for bridges
searching for the answer to the above question. It seems like every
entity that supports registration directives documents those directives
rather then the Registration FM documented in one place. Please correct
me if I am wrong.
One of the tests that I am doing is using MCC to configure the bridges
in my testbed. All the bridges are powered up but the lines are
disabled. The test starts out by registering all bridges then using
the registered names to to enable all bridge lines. The test performs
lots of show commands (all using the registered name), disables all
lines, more shows, enables all lines, set a few bridge characteristics,
and finally more show commands. Not one command worked correctly :-(

| 179.1 | Entity must be accessible. | CHRISB::BRIENEN | Chris Brienen - DECmcc (non-DECnet) AMs | Wed Jul 11 1990 12:36 | 16 |
RE: Register
REGISTER and Entity accessibility - An entity must be accessible
at the time REGISTER is issued in order for the entity to successfully
REGISTER. This applies to all entities (BRIDGE, STATION, NODE4, etc).
The above fact appears to be missing from the Bridge and Ethernet
Use books. It will be added for the DECmcc V1.0 released versions.
If the test you are attempting is directed at Bridges which are
all attached to the same segment (LAN), and the MCC Host System is
also attached to that segment (LAN), then it should work fine.
However, if the bridges are scattered about, some of the disabled
lines might prevent management requests from reaching all of them
(and thus result in the failures you are apparently seeing).

| 179.2 | first register never seems to work | DSTEG1::HUGHES | Wed Jul 11 1990 13:08 | 11 | |
Thanks for your answer Chris.
The first bridge, on the same LAN as the MCC host system, did not
register successfully. The situation is exactly as you mentioned
in your reply, all other bridges would not have received the management
request since the first bridge's lines were disabled.
It seems that every time I register an entity for the first time, the
registration fails. Has anybody else noticed this? I love these
difficult to reproduce problems that I seem to be experiencing quite
often.

| 179.4 | answer - cannot communicate with target | DSTEG1::HUGHES | Wed Jul 11 1990 16:22 | 5 | |
"Cannot communicate with target" is the error message I get
when the entity is not up.
