466.0. "More -can't find bridge/repeater'" by CSC32::PITT () Wed Nov 03 1993 16:15

    
    
    customer is running 1.1.0 Hubwatch (ultrix).  He has a bridge (1.14)
    and two repeater Cs. 
    
    He gets the graphics diplay when he does "show community" of the bridge
    and the repeaters, but when
    he tries to get toCONNECT the bridge he gets "failed to get bridge mgt info"
    and from the repeaters he gets "timed out waiting for reponse"
    
    Bridge and repeaters are working fine otherwise...
    
    He has already  powercycled all components. 
    
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

466.1	maybe.	SLINK::HOOD	I'd rather be surfing	`Wed Nov 03 1993 17:06`	16
	Is there a password set on the bridge? If so, you'll need to use the HUBwatch Add Module function and add the password. What HUBwatch does with that password is tell the DENMA about it. The DENMA needs to know it to do the SNMP proxy for the DECbridge 90. So, if you have a password set on the bridge, but you don't tell the DENMA (and the only way to tell the DENMA is thru HUBwatch), the DENMA can't talk to the bridge. Powercycling won't help. You'll have to factory reset your bridge if you don't remember the password. If this ain't it, ... Good Luck, Tom Hood HUBwatch devo
466.2	Check firmware rev on bridge	QUIVER::HAROKOPUS		`Wed Nov 03 1993 18:40`	6
	Check the firmware rev of your bridge. You need to be running V3.1. Also, make sure that your DENMA is at V1.1 Regards, Bob
