leaf node IP is 107.108.92.24 but it is reflecting to be 0.0.0.107:0  
but I am able to add other node with IP 107.108.92.200

**For the same issue, this is the /var/spool/pbs/mom\_logs at the node side:**

_02/25/2021 02:04:57;0002;pbs\_mom;Svr;pbs\_mom;HELLO sent to server at Dell-openpbs:15001, stream:237_

_02/25/2021 02:04:57;0001;pbs\_mom;Svr;net\_down\_handler;net down handler called_

Interestingly, when this node is configured for a different server it works.  
And in the same server where it is not working, other node is still working fine.

The following report at GitHub looks very similar to what you are seeing. Are you sure all your servers and nodes are running exactly the same version of PBS?

I just came to know that It is the problem with the version mismatch in both the machines  
Thanks for your time
