[bouirmane]

i have two routers R1 , R2 ( 7206 VXR ) , interconnected via FastEthernet .

I have run into the same issue. The tech doc states if the device is of the same type, interface name and interface ip, RME will recognize it as an alias. On my end, the IP addresses are different, and we changed the interface name and it still recognizes it as an alias. What can I do? Is there another workaround?

Have you tried deleting both devices completely before re-adding them?

Maybe you can try adding a loopback interface on a different subnet and adding the routers using these loopback addresses instead?

use the explict path and pay attention if your program directory is C:\Program File\.

Then you have to use:

C:\>pdreg -r DIServer -e C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\inventory\bin\DIServer.exe -f "-I -s -D 0x1 -d 0x1 -a" -d "EssentialsDbMonitor,EDS"
