2580.0. "DEC Agent 90 3.01 and remote HUB access problem" by BACHUS::VANDENBERGHE () Fri Jul 28 1995 06:41

	I have alreay tryied all the 'magic' trick that I know, but I
	can't solve that one for the moment.

	A customer is having 2 DEChub90 with DECbridges90 and a standalone 	
	one.

	1.I have installed a DECAgent90 version 3.0-1 in the first hub.
	The Bridge in that hub is 
		DECBridge 90 version 1.14
		FPROM 3.0
	All is working fine and I can manage the repeater in that hub.

	2. The I add in the Community table (other Community string) of this 	
	Agent a 2nd 8 slot hub, then add in the slot 8 a bridge (with the 	
	correct hardware address).
	Now when clicking on the bridge icone nothing happens with, a message in
			the message box: 'Failed to get IF interface'
	I did the same with the standalone one with the same result.

	Looking a in the community table through the console of the DECAgent,
	the reachability is set to NO for both remote bridge.

	But I am able to do a connect MOP with the console.

	Remark that the other DEWGB are at 2.2 FPROM 3.1 and 2.1 FRPOM 1.4	

	I have already tryied to reproduce this in my office with several Agents
		and Bridges of different versions without problem.
	
	The only doubt I have is and incompatibility with DECAgent90 3.01 and 	
	Bridge  which are not at 3.9.
	Is this possible ?(Upgrading bridge is not a trivial task to do in an 	
	operational environment).
	What is the DECAgent90 testing for reachability aprt of a MOP connect ?

	Hoping to have some ideas,
	B.r.
