Switch Port Management (and its polling functions) operates only with devices detected as Switches or Switch-Routers in NetMRI. For more information, see Performing On-Demand Switch Port Polling. |
Network device polling is the key mechanism for building Switch Port Management (SPM)'s switching information, and the polling features provide considerable flexibility. You use polling at the Device Group level to check for changes to any active device in that group. You can define polling time periods for individual device groups so that administrators have near-real-time capabilities for monitoring large-scale switched networks, or specific parts thereof, and quickly detect and address problems.
