Continuing the discussion from [Setting up Redundancy between two Docker instances](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/setting-up-redundancy-between-two-docker-instances/116846) I want to add these two docker instances (or only the master) as agents to my Enterprise setup but i'm not able to select agent in the EAM configuration on the docker gateway. I was able to set up communication between the docker instances and my EAM Controller ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/0/a0a1f96bca7fcc4bab2b4966a2f26b9b20537dc1.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/a/4a76350a250bfb7399e8a5c266d56be8e2927e00.png) so some kind of communication is possible between the two. Has someone an idea what's missing? ---

You should be able to click here to set up the gateway as an EAM agent: ![eam-setup](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/0/10a28d762645cd6d41ce75f97b119440cdc240f9.png) If that isn't there, can you confirm that the EAM module is installed on the gateway? ---

The Configure EAM is available but i can't select the Agent option ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/1/518b88a662b8a08064773d22ba56867d523e29c9.png) ---

The Agent selection will be disabled if there are no running gateway network connections. The reason is that you have to pick an EAM controller from a remote gateway list during agent setup. ---

If I look in the network overview in the docker instance I can see the EAM controller instance (Schiphol01) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/b/0b9bf91a58b6d9b7bd612ce5a6b5b5f095454d85.png) Also on the EAM controller there is a connection to the docker instance that I want to add as Agent ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/e/2ec11a3d725da4d9358a0948452bc3ab72babccd.png) So something is preventing the EAM config to see the controller in the docker instance. ---

I don't know what is going on. You'll have to call in to Support to figure out why you can't click on the Agent selection. ---

Apparently it only took some time and restarts to let every gateway see the others. Now my EAM controle has connection with all agents, the two redundant one are both Dockers instances ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/f/9fb700da804b52ca002d892557488908dd5c5796.png)
