Most likely the syobjectID is not in the vogon database so it think that this BS450
is not a nortel/baynetworks device.
You can confirm this and quickly resolve it as well by doing the following.

Must be done on the server
* Stop all optivity daemon.
* run dbadmin (Win32/Unix).
* Select vogon from the database list.
* Choose database -> export , save as vogon.txt
* Copy vogon.txt to another file for your backup, if you mess up you have something to
fall back on.
* Exit dbadmin.
* Edit vogon.txt and search for the mac address that represents your BS450.
You will need to look for it in this format aabbcc and not aa:bb:cc
only ther first 6 octects are used.
If its not found you would add lines simular to what you see below for each
peice of nortel/baynetworks hardware not listed.

SAMPLE: replace "aabbcc" with the first 6 octect of the MAC address

Element "aabbcc" vendor.prefix

Property i _isVendorPrefix 1

* save the changes to this file.
* run dbadmin again.
* select vogon
* select database -> import
* import the changed text file.
* start all optivity daemons.
