2565.0. "DECagent 90 not seeing its DECbridge" by MADMXX::WOESTEMEYER (Why??...Why not!!!) Wed Jul 26 1995 14:09

An interesting question/problem??

A customer with over 30 DEChub 90s and DECagent 90s is reporting a problem 
where the Agent does not see its bridge as reachable.  Also the Bridge does 
not see the address of its associated agent.  In all cases the agent 
software is V2.1.3.  The ROM version is different.  Where all is well the 
ROM is BL05.01, where the problem occurs is in ROM BL05.00.   The customer 
also states that if the Agent is power cycled sometimes it will pick up the
bridge as reachable for a short period of time 10-15 min.  The bridges are 
DECbridge 90FLs all at the same versions.

One item I have been able to add is that MOP connects times out:

	ERR4 Timeout trying to reserve a MOP CONSOLE SESSION

When executed from a problem agent.

Pings to the IP addresses of the problem agents also do not work.

The customer is pushing for a replacement of all his agents since the only 
visible difference is the ROM versions.

Any Ideas are welcome,
Steve Woestemeyer
