642.0. "DECagent 90 in a DEChub 900 ?" by KERNEL::LLOYDA (Don't worry... Be Happy ;^)) Thu Jan 20 1994 16:26

    Hi,
    
    Can anyone say if there is any point in putting a DECagent90 into a
    DEChub 900 ?
    
    Should it allow you to manage DECrepeaters if there is a DECbridge 90
    installed as well ? I put my DECagent V1.1 in the 900 and it didn't see
    any modules at all. Is this expected behaviour ?
    
    I know this may sound a bit dumb... unfortunatley my customer has been
    sold this configuration. He doesn't have Hubwatch to manage the
    repeaters, so I can only assume that whoever sold him the agent thought
    that it would allow him to manage them.
    
    Thanks,

    The DEChub 900 will allow a DECbridge 90 to become the hub master iff
    the 900 MAM has _NOT_ been given any IP address.  If you factory reset
    the MAM (or just clear both IP addresses and then reset it) you should
    see 'hub master' displayed on the slot for the bridge.
    
    You have to do all the usual things to configure the bridge and the
    DECagent90 as if they were in a DEChub 90, of course.

    Hi,
    
    I tried this and it worked first time. We had a DECserver 900 in the
    hub and the agent said that it was "unknown", will this be fixed in
    v2.0 of the agent s.w ? 
    
    Many thanks,
