  1. After performing the initial setup and defining your Discovery settings, you must define your global switchport polling settings. Click the Settings icon > Setup > Collection and Groups > Global > Switchport Manager side tab to define your switch polling settings. Several primary polling options are offered:
    • Periodic Polling: Define regular polling time periods. Choose a polling interval of 1 or more Minutes or Hours. This is the default polling behavior for NetMRI. The default polling interval is 60 minutes.
    • Scheduled Polling: Schedule recurrent polling based on hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly time periods. Click Add New Schedule and select a Recurrence Pattern of Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. In all cases, you must choose an Execution Time.
    • On-demand polling: Click Poll Now to immediately begin polling all switch and switch-router devices in the managed network. See Understanding SPM Polling for more information.
    • Completely disable switch port polling.
  2. After defining global polling settings, you can define more specific polling settings at the Device Group level. See For more information, see Device Actions in Switch Port Management for more information.

The NetMRI Sandbox with the built-in Port Activation Perl script is required for this operation. See "Using the NetMRI Sandbox" in Job Scripting for more information.
