OLSR routing not Babel
Strange new problem,

I just powered up a new installation.  The location has three Rocket 5ac sectors, a hAP ac3, and a PB5ac.  Right now, the PB5ac is powered off but will return soon.  There is one managed switch powering the antennas and DHCP is provided by the hAP.  All are freshly flashed with 3.25.5.1 and I'm working on fine tuning it all.  There is no WAN access at the site, and currently there is one reasonably good rf connection to a nearby SXT5ac running 3.25.5.1

I've noticed several things. 

When I to to the icons in the left column that show what is on the mesh, either the OLSR or the Babel column ... I get different results.  The new devices show only themselves when I ask for Babel devices, but when I use the OLSR link the entire mesh shows up.  The same is true looking back from the other direction ... from elsewhere on the mesh I can search for the devices fine in the OLSR system but they do not appear in Babel.  Clearly these newly installed devices do not see Babel routing, what might be causing this?

The antennas at this new site take forever to be reachable after a reboot.  However, they do work once I can get back to them.  This might be related.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks, Ed

SOLVED! (sort of)
After posting I read the recent post about a Rocket M5 not behaving with Watchdog enabled.  I thought ... what the heck and disabled Watchdog including wireless on all the nodes and voila ... all the nodes now display Babel in the search panel.  Definitely some sort of bug.
