2633.0. "No agent specified error...." by NETCAD::HILLER () Fri Aug 11 1995 14:59

    I just finished installing HubWatch V4.0.1 and upgrading all of the
    900 modules in our hub. Now when I click on one of the modules shown on
    our 900 backplane in hubwatch I receive the following error:
    
    No agent specified for the slot MAC address-
    please check log messages in the HubWatch
    Message Box Window.
    
    Could someone tell me what this error means?
    
    Thanks.

2633.1Lost an IP address?NAC::FORRESTFri Aug 11 1995 16:405
    I guess it means you need to enter an IP address somewhere. If this
    is happening when you click on a DECrepeater, DECconcentrator, or 
    DECswitch, then I don't know what the problem is. But if the module is
    a DECserver or DECbrouter, then those modules need their own IP address
    assigned. This hasn't changed from earlier versions.

    It sounds like a recently discovered problem with the MAM, which is 
    triggered when you have only the one IPS address set and the IPS 
    module goes asleep (such as when you upgraded it). You can reset the 
    MAM after the upgrades to clear the problem.
    
    This is fixed in the next release of the MAM.

    Thanks for the help. A reset did the trick.
