406.0. "Wrong MAC-address after upgrading" by FSSB::OSTLING () Thu Sep 30 1993 15:05

    Wrong MAC-address after uppgrading!
    
    On a customer site I have uppgraded a DECbridge 90 and a DECagent in a
    hub. Ihave uppgraded the bridge with WGB_FLASH_V31.SYS and the agent to
    V1.1.
    
    The uppgrade seems to be ok but when I look at the hub from the agent
    then the agent reports wrong MAC-address.
    
    Instead of reporting 08-00-2B-31-D8-A5 you got following:
    
    10-80-02-B3-1D-8A
    
    It is no problem with Ethernet-prom because it's no problem to connect
    the bridge from NCP.
    
    If I sets the MAC-address from the agent on the bridge, it's looks ok
    until you resets the agent then you got the wrong adress again.
    
    Is there anybody who know why ???

406.1Agent may need a reset-to-factoryROGER::GAUDETBecause the Earth is 2/3 waterFri Oct 01 1993 16:057
It is recommended that you perform a reset-to-factory settings on the agent when
you upgrade to V1.1.  There are situations where the non-volatile database in
the agent can get corrupted after V1.1 starts up.  The reset-to-factory should
clear up the problem.  Then you should be able to add the bridge and see the
correct MAC address.
